Abstract:

This thesis discusses aspects of a novel solar concentrating photovoltaic / thermal (PV/T) collector that has been designed to produce both electricity and hot water. The motivation for the development of the Combined Heat and Power Solar (CHAPS) collector is twofold: in the short term, to produce photovoltaic power and solar hot water at a cost which is competitive with other renewable energy technologies, and in the longer term, at a cost which is lower than possible with current technologies. To the authors knowledge, the CHAPS collector is the first PV/T system using a reflective linear

Abstract:

This thesis summarises a set of experiments towards the integration of concentrating optics into up-conversion photovoltaics. Up-conversion in rare earths has been investigated here. This optical process is non-linear therefore a high solar irradiance is required. High solar irradiance is achievable by solar concentration. Two concentrating approaches were investigated in this thesis: The first approach involved the concentration of the incident solar irradiance into optical fibres. An optical system with spherical lenses and dielectric tapers was designed accordingly. A solar concentration of

Buildings both commercial and residential are the largest consumers of electricity. Integrating Photovoltaic technology in building architecture or Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) provides an effective means for meeting this huge energy demands and provides an energy hub at the place of its immediate requirement. However, this technology is challenged with problems like low efficiency and high cost.

Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is one of the most promising renewable technologies owing to its high efficiency, scalability, low operating expense, and small environmental impact.

To improve photovoltaic system efficiencies, concentrating spectral dividers are used to separate solar light, and to focus each spectral portion onto photovoltaic cells of matching spectral response. In this investigation, an optical analysis is developed to study the feasibility for use of a Fresnel half-lens as a concentrating spectral divider. To facilitate the analysis, an existing curved-base linear Fresnel lens ray-trace model has been modified and expanded. Solar limb-darkening has been incorporated into the theory by means of a digitized sun model. The lens model allows for variation

Abstract:

High concentrating photovoltaic (HCPV) systems employ III-V multijunction (MJ) solar cells. Such solar cells are monolithically connected in-series and therefore present a strong dependence on the solar spectrum variations. In addition, the concentrated solar flux contributes to the heat generation within the solar cells and, in combination with the current mismatch between the subcells, can force the device to operate in elevated temperatures. It is important therefore, to investigate the influence of the atmospheric parameters on the electrical performance of HCPV and also to quantify the co

In this approach, the dispersed spectrum splitting concentration systems is scaled down to a small size and structured in an array.

This results in an overall increase in the spectral conversion efficiency of the resulting system. In addition other benefits of the micro-scale PV system are retained

The description of a novel device to measure the spectral direct normal irradiance is presented. The solar spectral irradiance meter (SSIM) was designed at the University of Ottawa as a cost-effective alternative to a prohibitively expensive field spectroradiometer (FSR). The latter measures highly-varying and location-dependent solar spectrum, which is essential for accurate characterization of a concentrating photovoltaic system’s performance. The SSIM measures solar spectral irradiance in several narrow wavelength bands with a combination of photodiodes with integrated interference filters.

Abstract:

Les cellules LGBC (Laser Grooves Buried Contact) ont été inventées et développées par M. GRENN au sein de l'UNSW. Elles présentent des contacts métal/silicium enterrés permettant d'optimiser le contact métal/silicium sans augmenter le taux d'ombrage de la cellule. Dans ce manuscrit nous étudierons toutes les étapes clefs nécessaires à la réalisation de ce type de cellules de façon à les rendre industrialisables. Dans un premier temps nous étudierons la réalisation de tranchées dans le silicium via deux lasers (vert & IR). Les paramètres de ces tranchées seront comparées pour sélectionner l

Abstract:

La production d'énergie photovoltaïque est une option d'avenir pour répondre au développement économique de notre société tout en réduisant notre impact sur l'environnement. Mais pour devenir compétitive, cette filière doit améliorer le rendement des cellules solaires. Une technologie d'avenir consiste à combiner différents matériaux via une croissance par épitaxie et l'usage du collage direct. Cette thèse, financée par SOITEC, vise au développement du collage d'arseniure de gallium (GaAs) sur le phosphure d'indium (InP) pour la cellule SmartCell. L'objectif est d'optimiser son comportement él

Abstract:

Dans un but d’amélioration des performances d’une installation photovoltaïque (PV), une approche complémentaire à l’amélioration du rendement des modules PV est l’augmentation de la collecte des photons par faible concentration du flux solaire sur les modules. Les réflecteurs plans sont une solution a priori simple et économique. Ils permettent d’augmenter la production électrique sans surcoût important. Cependant, l’estimation de ce gain demande une prise en compte fine de l’éclairement non uniforme apporté par ces réflecteurs. L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est de tester le potentiel d’un

Abstract:

Les dispositifs photovoltaïques, dominés par les panneaux en silicium, ont su évoluer pour proposer aujourd’hui des coûts d’électricité concurrentiels aux sources fossiles. Parmi les technologies émergentes, le photovoltaïque à concentration (CPV pour Concentrator Photovoltaics) repose sur l’utilisation de systèmes optiques (miroirs ou lentilles) qui concentrent la lumière sur des cellules de faibles dimensions (< cm2) mais très efficaces (> 40%). Malgré les performances élevées des modules CPV, cette technologie n’a pas su s’imposer en raison d’un coût élevé découlant de limitations tec

Abstract:

Les performances électriques des cellules photovoltaïques à base de silicium sont fortement dégradées lorsque leur température augmente. Cette problématique, pourtant bien connue, n’est pas suffisamment prise en considération dans l’industrie du photovoltaïque. Pour parer à cette dégradation, deux voies d’améliorations peuvent être explorées : diminuer la température de fonctionnement des cellules ou réduire leurs coefficients de dégradation en température. Cette étude est d’autant plus importante pour les applications sous concentrations, un éclairement élevé favorisant l’échauffement des cel

Objective of master’s thesis theoretical part is especially to illustrate influence of operation conditions, such as solar radiation, temperature or pollution of photovoltaic generator active area, on load and power characteristics of photovoltaic generator, or more precisely on photovoltaic conversion efficiency. Possible variants of increasing effectivity of using photovoltaic generator are explored, such as solar radiation concentration, photovoltaic generator active area cooling or aplication of optimalization circuit. Pivotal part of master‘s thesis is focused on experimental device pract

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This work deals with the analysis applied to the main methodologies found in literature for estimating the properties related to the physical phenomena in photovoltaic devices (parametrization), as well as the most important mathematical models used in the calculation of operating electrical characteristics of these devices (characterization). These devices are related to the mono and multi-junction technologies, when they are exposed to a condition where the temperature and solar radiation vary. Therefore, four parametrization met

Abstract:

La limite théorique de rendement des cellules photovoltaïques simple-jonction est de l’ordre de 33% d’après le modèle de Shockley-Queisser, ce qui reste éloigné de la limite de Carnot, prédisant une limite maximale de conversion énergie solaire → électricité de 93%. L’écart important entre ces deux limites découle des pertes intrinsèques, essentiellement liées à la conversion inefficace du spectre solaire et à la disparité entre les angles solides d’absorption et d’émission. Pour surmonter ces pertes et se rapprocher de la limite de Carnot, trois stratégies sont envisagées dans cette thèse : l
