thermal management of high concentrator solar Cell using new designs of stepwise varying width microchannel cooling scheme
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2020Co-Authors: Essam M Abozahhad, Shinichi Ookawara, Mohamed F C Esmail, A H Elshazly, M F Elkady, Ali RadwanAbstract:Abstract High concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) system are generally exposed to high solar concentration ratios and reach high Temperatures. An advanced cooling technique is compulsory to attain the highest net output power along with the safe operation of the system components. Different designs of stepwise varying width microchannel heat sink are investigated in this study. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the channel geometry of longitudinal rectangular internal fins and different water inlet mass flow rates on the performance of an HCPV system. A three-dimensional thermal model is developed and used to compare the performance of four different designs of stepwise varying width microchannel heat sinks. These designs are compared with the conventional multichannel heat sink design. The results show that the heat sink design and the coolant mass flow rate have a significant impact on the Cell Temperature, electrical Cell efficiency, system thermal efficiency, electrical exergy efficiency, thermal exergy efficiency, total exergy efficiency and thermal resistance of the heat sinks. For instance, using one of the proposed stepwise varying width microchannel heat sink at solar concentration ratio of 1000 suns and increasing the coolant flowrate from 25 to 1000 g/min decreased the solar Cell Temperature from around 71.7° C to 40° C with solar Cell Temperature non-uniformity decreased from 15.5 °C to 9 °C respectively.

performance limits and thermal stress analysis of high concentrator multijunction solar Cell under passive cooling conditions
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2020Co-Authors: Ali Radwan, Essam M Abozahhad, Shinichi Ookawara, A H Elshazly, M F Elkady, Mohamed F C EsmailAbstract:Abstract Concentration of solar radiation onto the surface of triple-junction solar Cells causes high Cell Temperature and system failure. Recently, several cooling methods were proposed for these systems. However, quantitative evaluation of the essential heat transfer coefficients to maintain stable operation of these systems at different meteorological and operating conditions is not found in the literature. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive three-dimensional coupled thermal and structural model is proposed for the latest triple-junction AZUR SPACE solar Cell. The model is used to investigate the performance of an HCPV system under different solar concentration ratios (CRs), ambient Temperature, direct solar irradiance, wind speed, backside heat transfer coefficient, and copper-II substrate area ratios. In addition, a new structure of the solar Cell is proposed by modifying the typical solar Cell assembly by changing the area of the rear copper layer. The results indicate that by increasing the ambient Temperature, CR and direct solar irradiance significantly increase the predicted Cell Temperature at the same backside heat transfer coefficient. In addition, increasing copper-II substrate area ratios significantly reduces the average Cell Temperature at the same backside heat transfer coefficient and CR. At the highest backside heat transfer coefficient, when the copper-II substrate area increased, the Cell Temperature decreased to a certain limit and subsequently remained constant. Critical values of the highest backside heat transfer coefficient were about 200, 600, 1000, and 1600 W/m2 K at CRs of 50, 500, 1000, and 1500 Suns, respectively. In addition, at the highest backside heat transfer coefficient of 1600 W/m2 K, the critical area ratio values were about 2, 3, 4, and 6 at CRs of 50, 500, 1000, and 1500 Suns, respectively.

Applied Energy, 2019Co-Authors: Ali Radwan, Essam M Abozahhad, Shinichi Ookawara, A H Elshazly, M F ElkadyAbstract:Abstract An efficient cooling arrangement is mandatory to achieve a higher net output power from the high concentrator photovoltaic structures in addition to extending their lifetime. In the current study, five new heat sink designs for a jet impingement/microchannel hybrid cooling scheme were investigated and compared with a conventional jet impingement cooling scheme. These designs consisted of an arrangement of rectangular fins at the streamwise length of the heat sink. This resulted in a stepwise decrease in the corresponding channel width and hydraulic diameter. A comprehensive three-dimensional thermal and structure model was developed to investigate the capability of the proposed designs in terms of reduction of the Cell Temperature besides enhancement of the Temperature uniformity. Based on the results, the hybrid cooling scheme exhibited promising cooling ability compared to the conventional jet impingement scheme. The results of the present study show that the hybrid cooling scheme is effective cooling system and it achieved the utmost possible reduction of solar Cell Temperature, under high solar concentration ratio of 1000 suns where the solar Cell Temperature reduces to 55 °C. When the inlet mass flow rate was increased to 50 g/min under the same conditions, a corresponding reduction in the Cell Temperature from 67.3 to 55 °C was observed for Case 4 of the hybrid scheme designs. In addition, there was a decrease from 82.3 to 63.2° C for Case 1 of the conventional jet impingement heat sink (HS). Under the hybrid cooling scheme, the electrical efficiency of the Cell improved to 39.7% when the inlet mass flow rate was equal to 50 g/min for Case 4. Exergy analysis revealed that the hybrid scheme achieved an overall exergy efficiency of 53.5% at inlet mass flow rate of 25 g/min.

Cell integrated multi junction thermocouple array for solid oxide fuel Cell Temperature sensing n 1 architecture
Journal of Power Sources, 2016Co-Authors: Manoj Prasanna Ranaweera, Jungsik KimAbstract:Abstract Understanding the Cell Temperature distribution of solid oxide fuel Cell (SOFC) stacks during normal operation has multifaceted advantages in performance and degradation studies. Present efforts on measuring Temperature from operating SOFCs measure only the gas channel Temperature and do not reveal the Cell level Temperature distribution, which is more important for understanding a Cell's performance and its Temperature-related degradation. The authors propose a Cell-integrated, multi-junction thermocouple array for in-situ Cell surface Temperature monitoring of an operational SOFC. The proposed thermocouple array requires far fewer numbers of thermoelements than that required by sets of thermocouples for the same number of Temperature sensing points. Hence, the proposed array causes lower disturbance to Cell performance than thermocouples. The thermoelement array was sputter deposited on the cathode of a commercial SOFC using alumel (Ni:Al:Mn:Si – 95:2:2:1 by wt.) and chromel (Ni:Cr – 90:10 by wt.). The thermocouple array was tested in a furnace over the entire operating Temperature range of a typical SOFC. The individual sensing points of the array were shown to measure Temperature independently from each other with equivalent accuracy to a thermocouple. Thus, the concept of multi-junction thermocouples is experimentally validated and its stability on a porous SOFC cathode is confirmed.

thermal analysis of a multi layer microchannel heat sink for cooling concentrator photovoltaic cpv Cells
13th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems (CPV-13), 2017Co-Authors: Idris Al Siyabi, Tapas K Mallick, Katie Shanks, Senthilarasu SundaramAbstract:Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) technology is increasingly being considered as an alternative option for solar electricity generation. However, increasing the light concentration ratio could decrease the system output power due to the increase in the Temperature of the Cells. The performance of a multi-layer microchannel heat sink configuration was evaluated using numerical analysis. In this analysis, three dimensional incompressible laminar steady flow model was solved numerically. An electrical and thermal solar Cell model was coupled for solar Cell Temperature and efficiency calculations. Thermal resistance, solar Cell Temperature and pumping power were used for the system efficiency evaluation. An increase in the number of microchannel layers exhibited the best overall performance in terms of the thermal resistance, solar Cell Temperature uniformity and pressure drop. The channel height and width has no effect on the solar Cell maximum Temperature. However, increasing channel height leads to a reducti...

high concentrator photovoltaic module simulation by neuronal networks using spectrally corrected direct normal irradiance and Cell Temperature
Energy, 2015Co-Authors: Florencia Almonacid, Eduardo F. Fernández, Tapas K Mallick, P PerezhiguerasAbstract:The electrical modelling of HCPV (high concentrator photovoltaic) modules is a key issue for systems design and energy prediction. However, the electrical modelling of HCPV modules shows a significantly level of complexity than conventional photovoltaic technology because of the use of multi-junction solar Cells and optical devices. In this paper, a method for the simulation of the I–V curves of a HCPV module at any operating condition is introduced. The method is based on three different ANN (artificial neural networks)-based models: one to spectrally correct the direct normal irradiance, one to predict the Cell Temperature and one to generate the I–V curve of the HCPV module. The method has the advantage that is fully based on atmospheric parameter and outdoor measurements. The analysis of results shows that the method accurately predicts the I–V curve of a HCPV module for a wide range of atmospheric operating conditions with a RMSE (root mean square error) ranging from 0.19% to 1.66% and a MBE (mean bias error) ranging from −0.38% to 0.40%.

effects of nonuniform incident illumination on the thermal performance of a concentrating triple junction solar Cell
International Journal of Photoenergy, 2014Co-Authors: Fahad Alamri, Tapas K MallickAbstract:A numerical heat transfer model was developed to investigate the Temperature of a triple junction solar Cell and the thermal characteristics of the airflow in a channel behind the solar Cell assembly using nonuniform incident illumination. The effects of nonuniformity parameters, emissivity of the two channel walls, and Reynolds number were studied. The maximum solar Cell Temperature sharply increased in the presence of nonuniform light profiles, causing a drastic reduction in overall efficiency. This resulted in two possible solutions for solar Cells to operate in optimum efficiency level: (i) adding new receiver plate with higher surface area or (ii) using forced cooling techniques to reduce the solar Cell Temperature. Thus, surface radiation exchanges inside the duct and Re significantly reduced the maximum solar Cell Temperature, but a conventional plain channel cooling system was inefficient for cooling the solar Cell at medium concentrations when the system was subjected to a nonuniform light distribution. Nonuniformity of the incident light and surface radiation in the duct had negligible effects on the collected thermal energy.

alleviating operating Temperature of concentration solar Cell by air active cooling and surface radiation
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2013Co-Authors: Fahad Alamri, Tapas K MallickAbstract:Abstract In the present paper, a heat transfer model for a multi-junction concentrating solar Cell system has been developed. The model presented in this work includes the GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple-junction solar Cell with a ventilation system in which air is forced to flow within a duct behind the solar Cell assembly and its holders and accessories (anti-reflective glass cover, adhesive material, and aluminum back plate). A mathematical model for the entire system is presented and the finite difference technique has been used to solve the governing equations. Results showed that the interaction of surface radiation and air convection could adequately cool the solar Cell at medium concentration ratios. For high concentration ratios, the channel width would need to be narrowed to micro-meter values to maintain the required efficiency of cooling. The conjugation effect has been shown to be significant and has a noticeable effect on the maximum solar Cell Temperature. Furthermore, the air inlet velocity and channel width were also found to have major effects on the Cell Temperature.

numerical investigations of solar Cell Temperature for photovoltaic concentrator system with and without passive cooling arrangements
International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Sendhil Kumar Natarajan, Tapas K Mallick, Matty Katz, Simon WeingaertnerAbstract:Abstract The numerical study of solar Cell Temperature for concentrating PV with concentration ratio of 10× is presented in this paper. A two dimensional thermal model has been developed to predict the Temperature for PV concentrator system (solar Cell and lens) with and without passive cooling arrangements. Based on a thermal model, the result shows that maximum of four numbers of uniform fins of 5 mm height and 1 mm thickness can be effectively used to reduce the solar Cell Temperature. In addition to that, the effects of ambient Temperature and solar radiation intensity on the solar Cell Temperature have also been investigated for the system with and without cooling fins. Based on the influencing parameters of ambient Temperature and solar radiation, two separate solar Cell Temperature correlations has been proposed for systems with and without cooling fins to predict the Cell Temperature for the range of given parameters. In our previous studies, the present 2-D model was extensively validated with a comprehensive unified model [8] , [9] , [10] .

influence of varying the ethylene vinyl acetate layer thicknesses on the performance of a polycrystalline silicon solar Cell integrated with a microchannel heat sink
Solar Energy, 2020Co-Authors: Abd Elmoneim A Harb, Ali Radwan, Khairy Elsayed, Momtaz Sedrak, Mahmoud AhmedAbstract:Abstract Modifying the polycrystalline silicon solar Cell by reducing the thermal resistance of the ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) layer is essential to enhance the thermal management process. This modification will improve the heat dissipation process from the silicon wafer especially at a higher solar concentration ratio (CR) and in return enhance the solar Cell performance and output power. Thus, a modified design of a solar Cell integrated with a microchannel heat sink is developed. In this new design, variations of the Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) upper- and lower-layer thickness along with the interval width between the two consecutive silicon layers are investigated. To determine the effect of varying the design parameters on the Cell Temperature at various solar concentration ratios and coolant mass rates, a three-dimensional comprehensive model for the solar Cell integrated with a heat sink is developed. The model is simulated and validated with numerical results and measurements. Results indicate that reducing the EVA lower layer thickness has a remarkable effect on the solar Cell Temperature. At a solar concentration ratio of 20, varying the EVA lower layer thickness from 1.0 mm to 0.2 mm results in decreasing the maximum Cell Temperature from 102.3 °C to 69.3 °C. With further increase of the concentration ratio up to 30, the maximum Cell Temperature reduces from 138.3 °C to 87.4 °C. It is found that at a coolant rate of 2000 gm/min, and a concentration ratio of 20, maximum Temperature in the modified and conventional solar Cell with a lower EVA thickness of 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm, reaches 69.3 °C and 81.5 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the conventional Cell efficiency is about 8.90%, while the modified one achieves 9.6%. At a CR = 30, the maximum Temperature of the modified Cell is 87.4 °C, while it is beyond the permissible Temperature for the conventional Cell. However, the solar Cell Temperature was not affected by varying the EVA upper layer and the interval width between the silicon layers. The finding of the current results provides another direction for researchers to utilize a higher concentration ratio with polycrystalline silicon solar Cells.
