Description

Multi-spectral region integrated solar photoelectric conversion system and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar power generation, in particular to a multispectral region integrated solar photoelectric conversion system and a multispectral region integrated solar photoelectric conversion method.
Background
Currently, the global non-renewable mineral energy consumption and shortage will limit the economic development, and in the effort to seek green new energy, the development and application of solar devices will be the most important new energy strategy development direction.
Through research and development for more than half a century, silicon-based devices are still the most widely used in solar photoelectric conversion at present due to the restriction of various factors such as material characteristics, process, cost and service life. Under laboratory conditions, single crystal silicon, polysilicon and amorphous silicon cells can reach maximum efficiencies of about 24%, 18% and 12%, respectively, with practical photoelectric conversion efficiencies of commercial devices below laboratory levels, resulting in over 70% of solar energy being underutilized and wasted. This is mainly the indirect band gap band characteristics of such semiconductor materials that limit the improvement in photoelectric conversion efficiency, and it is impossible to change the natural properties of the materials by low cost manual methods in a short period of time.
Certain organic photoelectric devices, although exhibiting superior photoelectric conversion efficiency under laboratory conditions, are limited in popularization and application due to the need of the devices to withstand broad spectrum solar irradiation including ultraviolet light, and to be operated for up to 20 years under severe temperature difference conditions such as four seasons and day and night in the field, and the like, and the severe requirements on service life, environment and the like.
Inorganic compound semiconductor devices based on direct band gap energy band structures generally have high photoelectric conversion efficiency, but the process cost is high, the working spectrum range of a single device is generally narrow, and the device is only applied to a few fields capable of bearing high cost (such as aerospace, national defense, scientific research and the like).
New principles and application studies attempting to break through the above physical limitations are becoming an important point of international academic and industrial efforts, but a breakthrough and practical application of new device development is actually obtained, and long and hard routes are still required, which are difficult to be implemented in a short period of time.
Based on the consideration of comprehensive factors such as material source richness, process maturity, market cost and service life, the current effort in the international industry (such as major international semiconductor equipment manufacturers of American AM company) is to develop amorphous silicon thin film solar devices, and the amorphous silicon thin film solar device has the remarkable advantages of compatibility with microelectronic processes, low material consumption, low cost, long service life, realization of large-scale production and the like, and has the defect that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is lower than 10%.
The energy of sunlight is mainly distributed in the 300-2500nm (nanometer) wave band, and the peak (500 nm) spectrum is concentrated in the visible light region. Due to physical constraints of the band structure of natural or artificial materials, at present, no working area of any single kind of semiconductor photoelectric device can be matched and cover a main spectrum area of solar energy, namely, the distribution of photoelectric conversion efficiency in the solar spectrum area is extremely uneven, the peak conversion efficiency is difficult to match with the solar spectrum, and most of energy from sunlight is transmitted, reflected or converted into heat to be wasted in practical photoelectric conversion application. The conversion efficiency of the conventional solar semiconductor photoelectric conversion device is relatively low, and is generally only about 10%.
Therefore, how to improve the solar photoelectric conversion efficiency is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
On the one hand, the embodiment of the invention discloses a solar photoelectric conversion system integrated in a multispectral region, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, which comprises: a light condensing module, a first optical fiber 6, a partition module 7, a second optical fiber 8 and a photoelectric conversion module 9;
a light condensing module for condensing sunlight;
a first optical fiber 6 for transmitting the concentrated sunlight;
a partitioning module 7 for dividing sunlight guided from the optical fiber into a plurality of sub-spectral regions according to wavelength regions of the spectral regions;
a second optical fiber 8 for transmitting the split sub-spectrum sunlight;
the photoelectric conversion module 9 converts solar energy in each sub-spectral region into electric energy.
In the above system, the key is the idea of partitioning the solar main spectral region. The combined light splitting module is used for dividing the main spectrum region of sunlight into 300-2500nm into a plurality of sub-spectrum regions, so that the method is easy to realize; because the range of each sub-spectrum region is smaller, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the sub-photoelectric conversion module for the sub-spectrum region can reach high, and can reach more than 60 percent generally. Finally, all the sub photoelectric conversion modules are combined and integrated to obtain the photoelectric conversion of the full solar energy, and the conversion efficiency is above 60%.
In a specific embodiment, the light condensing module comprises a first-stage light condensing unit 1, a second-stage light condensing unit 3 and a bracket 2; the first-stage light-gathering unit 1 and the second-stage light-gathering unit 3 are fixed on the bracket 2 and are coupled on a solar incident light path, and specifically, a light-receiving surface of the second-stage light-gathering unit 3 is positioned near a focus of the first-stage light-gathering unit 1 so as to meet the limit of being capable of fully receiving visible light gathered by the first-stage light-gathering unit 1. The first-stage light condensing unit 1 is used for preliminarily condensing sunlight; the second-stage light condensing unit 3 is used for condensing the sunlight condensed by the first-stage light condensing unit 1 again, and the two light condensing units form a coupling relationship of two-stage cascade condensation. The first optical fiber is coupled with the second-stage light condensing unit 3 and is used for transmitting the sunlight converged by the second-stage light condensing unit 3. The coupling relationship and principle here are similar to those of the first-stage condensing unit 1 and the second-stage condensing unit 3. Under the coupling condition, the central axes of the first-stage light condensing unit 1, the second-stage light condensing unit 3 and the optical fibers are collinear.
In a specific embodiment, in order to ensure the coupling stability of the first-stage light condensing unit 1 and the second-stage light condensing unit 3, and avoid the situation that the coupling effect of the first-stage light condensing unit 1 and the second-stage light condensing unit 3 is poor due to accumulated errors or environmental changes, the light condensing module further comprises a first adjusting component 4, the second-stage light condensing unit 3 is connected with the bracket 2 through the first adjusting component 3, and the first adjusting component 4 is used for adjusting the distance from the second-stage light condensing unit 3 to the first-stage light condensing unit 1. Specifically, the first adjusting component 4 includes an adjusting nut, and the adjusting nut is fixedly connected with the bracket 2 and is in threaded connection with the second-stage condensing unit 3.
Preferably, the condensing module 7 may further comprise a second adjusting component 5, and the second adjusting component 5 is used for adjusting the position of the first fiber end face on the optical axis of the condensing module. The first-stage condensing unit 1 is a Fresnel lens; the second stage condensing unit 3 is an optical fiber collimator. In order to avoid damage to the optical fibers by the concentrated sunlight, the first optical fiber 6 and the second optical fiber 8 adopt high-temperature resistant quartz optical fibers. In particular, the second adjusting assembly 5 comprises a set screw for fixing the position of the optical fiber. When the set screw is released, the optical fiber can move freely in the optical axis direction, and when moved to a proper position, can be fixed by the set screw.
In a specific embodiment, the partition module 7 is any one of a prism, a grating and a thin film filter, wherein the prism beam splitting satisfies the schlieren's law of refraction, the grating beam splitting satisfies the multi-slit wavelength diffraction principle, and the thin film filter beam splitting satisfies the multi-layer thin film wavelength interference principle.
The specific partition module 7 is in a prism-grating-prism form, the grating is a reflective plane grating, and the first prism and the second prism are respectively distributed at the front and the rear of the plane reflective grating. In the optical design software, one side of the prism can be set as an inclined plane, the inclined angle is set as an optimization amount, and a spectrum bending optimization target is set in an optimization function to perform automatic optimization. The two prisms are respectively arranged in front of and behind the plane grating, and the vertex angle values of the prisms are used for correcting the spectrum bending of the partition module.
In a specific embodiment, the photoelectric conversion module 9 includes a plurality of photoelectric converters that respectively convert solar energy in each sub-spectral region. Specifically, a plurality of compound semiconductor photoelectric conversion devices with direct band gap structures can be respectively adopted, the working wavelength region corresponds to each sub-spectrum region of sunlight, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device can be more than or equal to 60% due to the fact that the device works in a narrower spectrum region, and solar energy in each sub-spectrum region is respectively converted into electric energy with high efficiency. The spectrum partitions and the photoelectric conversion devices are combined and integrated together, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency in the full solar spectrum region is more than or equal to 60%.
Although the high-efficiency photoelectric conversion device has higher device cost per unit area, the area of the high-efficiency photoelectric conversion device is far smaller than that of the low-efficiency silicon-based photoelectric device by adopting methods such as optical focusing, optical fiber light guiding and the like, the actual device cost is not increased greatly, but the collection of sunlight and the photoelectric conversion efficiency are improved by times, and a very high figure-of-merit factor can be obtained, which is difficult to achieve by adopting single silicon-based photoelectric devices and the like.
