Description

TTTLE: A PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM FEILD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a photovoltaic system for generating electricity from solar energy. It is particularly applicable to a tube-shaped photovoltaic system for the generation of solar power wherein the temperature of the photovoltaic system is maintained to increase the efficiency of the system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventional photovoltaic systems are flat and rectangular in geometry. Such photovoltaic systems are limited by the amount of surface area and the total quantum of photons it can absorb. The thin film PV systems, unlike silicon PV systems are more flexible and are cheaper than silicon PV systems. However, thin film PV systems have a lower efficiency than their equivalent silicon counterparts. When surface area is a premium, most people will opt for a greater production using silicon cells as the total cost of a system is measured in 1 per watt generated. Hence thin film technology has not displaced their more expensive silicon counterparts.
In current PV panels, be they thin film or silicon solar cells, electricity production is heavily influenced by the orientation of the PV panel to the incidence of' light. In the UK, the best production is achieved on the SW orientation with a 30-40 degree elevation to the horizontal. Surface area is a major issue on embedded building generation and as such solar silicon panels are the preferred choice for embedded generation. High planar footprint is the main limitation of the flat rectangular geometry PV system.
To overcome the above limitations, few photovoltaic systems are known in the art. The Great Britain patent applications GB2586003 and GB2567539A disclose solar pipes, which are cylindrical photovoltaic systems having small planar footprints. However, such solar pipes have the limitation that during the working, the temperature inside such system rises to undesirably high level. Such high operating temperatures negatively affect the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. Plastic materials used for fabrication of the photovoltaic system body, which are bad conductor of heat and prevent transfer of heat from the system to the surroundings. To lower the temperature, such systems require heat exchangers, which further increase the fabrication cost of the cylindrical photovoltaic systems.
Further, the solar pipe disclosed in the Great Britain patent applications GB2586003 and GB2567539A requires flexible photovoltaic panels which break easily and require careful handling.
Thus, there remains a need for alternative designs of photovoltaic systems that address the problems mentioned above while remaining economical, efficient, easy to handle and convenient to use.

Photovoltaic systems are known in the art, disclose solar pipes, which are cylindrical photovoltaic systems having small planar footprints. However, such solar pipes have the limitation that during the working, the temperature inside such a system rises to an undesirably high level. Such high operating temperatures negatively affect the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. Plastic materials used for fabrication of the photovoltaic system body, which are bad conductor of heat and prevent transfer of heat from the system to the surroundings. To lower the temperature, such systems require heat exchangers, which further increase the fabrication cost of the cylindrical photovoltaic systems.
Further, the solar pipe requires flexible photovoltaic panels which break easily and require careful handling. Thus, there remains a need for alternative designs of photovoltaic systems that address the problems mentioned above while remaining economical, efficient, easy to handle and convenient to use.
In an aspect, the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic system which solves the problem mentioned hereinabove. FIG. 1, FIG.2, and FIG.3 illustrate different perspective views of the photovoltaic system (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention. The photovoltaic system (100) is having a body (100), a plurality of solar cell strips (104), a refractor dome (106), a biconcave lens (108), a convex mirror (110) and a base cap (112). The body (102) is having a first end, a second end, an internal surface and an external surface, wherein the first end is open to allow light to pass through. The plurality of solar cell strips (104) is provided on the internal surface of the body (102) forming a polygonal pattern. The refractor dome (106) is provided at the first end of the body (102), wherein the refractor dome (106) refracts incoming light into the opening provided at the first end of the body (102). The biconcave lens (108) is provided at the first end of the body (102) to refract light coming from the convex refractor (106) towards the solar cell strips (104). The convex mirror (110) is provided at the second of the body (102) to reflect the incoming light towards the solar cell strips (104). The base cap (112) is provided at the second end of the body (102) to provide a flat bottom.
The shape of the body (102) is selected from cylindrical, cuboidal, triangular or polygonal tube. In a preferred embodiment, the shape of the body (100) is cylindrical.
In an embodiment, the solar cell strips (104) are monocrystalline and multijunction panels. This overcomes the drawback of the flexible panels used in the prior art, which are prone to breaking and difficult to handle. The solar cell strips (104) are provided on the internal surface of the body (102) forming a polygonal pattern, wherein no bending of solar cell strips (104) is required.
In another embodiment, the outer surface of the body (104) is provided with grid line pattern, wherein the gridlines provide the required strength and wall with less thickness is used. This reduces the heat resistance offered by the wall of the body (102) helps in heat transfer from inside of the body to the outside atmosphere.
Further, the body (102) is fabricated from a plastic material having fillers of high conductivity material such as aluminum, copper, silver, graphene, graphite. The weight percentage of the filler used in plastic is selected from the range of 1 weight percent to 5 weight percent. In an exemplary embodiment, graphene is used as a filler and the weight percentage of the graphene in plastic is 2 weight percentage.
The body (100) is made of a polymer composite material which contains graphene fillers of 2% by weight. The polymer material by itself has low thermal conductivity but by the addition of graphene filler (which has a thermal conductivity of 4000 Wilm/K which is 10 times higher than of copper) in the composite the thermal conductivity is significantly increased. This will aid in maintaining the temperature of the solar cells at optimum operating temperature of 25°C. The excess heat absorbed is transferred to the atmosphere around it as the thermal resistance of the wall has been significantly reduced. Moreover, the heating caused at the outside surface of the body will cause the formation of micro air currents as the heated air rises and cooler air rushes to take its place.
The refractor dome (106) is provided on the body (102) with a dome gasket (114) and the base cap (112) is provided with a base gasket (116) to make the system (100) airtight. A vacuum is created inside the system (100) to prevent condensation of vapors or rise in temperature of system (100) due to heating of gases by radiation. The body (102) is provided with a plurality of apertures to provide electrical connections.
In an embodiment, the refractor dome (106), base cap (112), first end and second end of body (102) are provided with coupling means to detachably attach the refractor dome (106) with the first end of the body (102) and detachably attach the base cap (112) with the second end of the body (102). The coupling means is selected from threaded coupling, nuts and bolt coupling and adhesive coupling. In an exemplary embodiment, the coupling means is threaded coupling.
In an exemplary embodiment, the base cap (112) is designed to facilitate the inclusion of a convex mirror, a non-return valve and electrical outlet connector. The cap (112) is sealed by means of gaskets and 0-rings. The internal volume of the system (100) is at a vacuum of around 0.4 bar. As air can absorb some of the solar electromagnetic radiation, this would cause the heating of the air inside the system (100) if it existed. The thermal conduction of heat drop at the interface layer of different phases and so the system (100) being evacuated would be much more efficient in terms of keeping the silicon solar cells at ideal operating conditions.
The top dome, biconcave lens and the convex mirror are designed and constructed so that any form of incident light, it be direct or ambient, will be focused towards the interior of the dome. By means of Snell's laws of photo refraction the ideal shape of the dome was calculated and designed. By running optical simulations of the designs it was concluded that the dome design converges light coming from 360° azimuth and 1800 elevation of the sun with minimal light escaping the present system (100) and further increase the efficiency with the convex mirror.
lECHNICAL ADVANCEMENTS The present disclosure described hereinabove has several technical advantages including, but not limited to, a photovoltaic system The technical advancements are enumerated hereunder: - The photovoltaic system has drastically reduced the horizontal planar footprint which conventional flat plate solar panels would occupy. This has advantages like better cooling, space saving, and a higher number of modules can be placed using the same surface area as compared to the flat plate panel.
-Economical as no heat exchanger is required to cool the photovoltaic system.
- Easy to fabricate as flexible PV panels are not required and no heat exchanger is required.
- Lower weight due to the use of gridline body and no requirement of heat exchanger.
- No environmental damage to the P V panels as vacuum is maintained inside the photovoltaic system.
-Greater operating range due to the refractor dome, bi-concave lens, convex mirror. Thus greater generation of energy per sqm. The dome design converges light coming from 0°-360° azimuth and 0°-180° elevation of the sun with minimal light escaping the present system and further increases the efficiency with the convex mirror.
- Standard PV panels have thick glass to help the PV panels avoid environmental damage but also to help the rain self clean. The weight of the glass adds to the installation cost and overall cost of the PV plus the glass heats up and reduces overall PV effectiveness. A vacuum is maintained in the photovoltaic system of the present invention to prevent the environmental damage. No glass is required to cover the PV panels. Therefore, the system of the present invention is lightweight and economical to manufacture.
The numerical values given for various physical parameters, dimensions, and quantities are only approximate values and it is envisaged that the values higher than the numerical value assigned to the physical parameters, dimensions, and quantities fall within the scope of the invention unless there is a statement in the specification to the contrary.
While considerable emphasis has been placed herein on the specific features of the preferred embodiment, it will be appreciated that many additional features can be added and that many changes can be made in the preferred embodiment without departing from the principles of the disclosure. These and other changes in the preferred embodiment of the disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein, whereby it is to be distinctly understood that the foregoing descriptive matter is to be interpreted merely as illustrative of the disclosure and not as a limitation.
