Abstract

Today, energy consumption have increased significantly because of developed technology. Therefore, using of fossil fuels have increased step by step. All of these have caused increasing of renewable energy sources and sustainable energy researches. In this study, the effect of cooling channel geometry and panel position on the temperature of photovoltaic cells are investigated at cooling of the photovoltaic solar panel that has fins on its bottom surface, with liquid immersion cooling method, numerically. Numerical analyses are carried out for parameters of channel outlet width, axial and radial position of the panel. Also, additional pressure losses that occurred with variation of parameter values are calculated and energy requirement is introduced for cooling. In consequence of analyses, it is observed that more effective cooling is provided in the case of narrowing of the channel outlet and panel position is close to channel outlet. Findings obtained during the numerical study are presented as graphics that include temperature, variation of pressure, and velocity contours in detail.

Özet

Güneş enerjisinden elektrik enerjisi üreten sistemlerde fotovoltaik hücrelerin soğutulması sistem verimini artırmaktadır. Bu hücrelerin soğutulması için birçok yöntem ve parametre mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada alt yüzeyinde kanatçıklar bulunan fotovoltaik güneş panelinin dielektrik sıvıya daldırma yöntemi ile soğutulmasında soğutma kanalı geometrisi ve panel konumunun fotovoltaik hücre sıcaklıklarına etkisi sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Sayısal analizler kanal çıkış genişliği, panelin eksenel ve radyal yöndeki konumu parametreleri için gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, parametre değerlerinin değişimi ile oluşan ek basınç kayıpları hesaplanarak soğutma için gerekli enerji gereksinimi ortaya konulmuştur. Analizler sonucunda kanal çıkışının daraltılması ve panelin eksenel konumunun kanal çıkışına yakın olması durumunda fotovoltaik hücreler için daha etkin soğutma sağlandığı gözlemlenmiştir. Sayısal çalışma sırasında elde edilen bulgular sıcaklık, basınç değişimi, hız ve sıcaklık kontörlerini içeren grafikler halinde ayrıntılı olarak sunulmuştur
