Experimental and simulation study of electrical characteristics of triple-junction GaAs high-concentration photovoltaic cells
A set of reflective high-power concentrating photovoltaic system was built,the mathemati-cal model of the equivalent circuit of single diode of InGaP/InGaAs/Ge triple junction gallium arse-nide battery was established,and the influence mechanism of concentrating ratio,radiation intensity and cell temperature on the electrical characteristics of concentrating photovoltaic modules,such as open-circuit voltage,short-circuit current and peak power,was studied,and the experimental results were compared with the simulated values.The results show that when the direct radiation intensity is 700 W/m2 and the cell temperature is 328 K,as the concentrating ratio increases from 650 X to 800 X,the short-circuit current,open-circuit voltage and peak power of the three-junction gallium arsenide concentrating photovoltaic module increase by 19.8%,1.2%and 16.6%,respectively,the root mean square error of the experimental and simulated values is 3.17%,3.31%and 12.1%,respectively,while the fill factor and conversion efficiency decrease by 3.8%and 5.4%,respectively.The root mean square errors of experimental and simulated values were 6.34%and 12.1%,respectively.When the concentrating factor is 700 X,the battery temperature increases from 315 K to 328 K as the direct radiation intensity increases from 419 W/m2 to 700 W/m2,and the experimental values of short-circuit current,open-circuit voltage and fill factor increase from 0.588 A to 1.01 A,from 11.24 V to 10.96 V,and from 82.49%to 80.96%,respectively,and the root mean square errors of the experimental and simulated value theory are 1.97%,2.45%,and 6.15%,respectively.
