Abstract

In the present study, a photoelectric coupling model is established for the photovoltaic system with compound parabolic concentrator （PV-CPC）, and the solar irradiance distribution on the surface of PV arrays under different concentrating ratios is simulated. In addition, the applicability and accuracy of three different grid circuit models are compared. The results show that the discrete grid illumination method owns the highest accuracy. The PV-CPC system improves the electricity power generation but decreases the power generation efficiency to some degree. When the concentration ratio increases, the average irradiance value and non-uniformity on the surface of PV arrays increase, and the irradiance uniformity at the best focus position is superior to the outlet position of CPC. The electricity power generation and efficiency of the PV arrays are positively correlated with the total solar irradiance and negatively correlated with the scattering ratio.
