考虑实际系统中存在的多种传热损失,本文建立一类不可逆光子增强热离子发射太阳能电池与温差热电发电器组合而成的混发电系统模型.基于太阳能电池与温差热电发电器之间的能量平衡方程,导出该混合系统输出功率和效率的表达式.通过数值计算,详细分析了光增热离子太阳能电池的面积、阴极半导体材料的禁带宽度、电子亲和势以及温差热电发电器的无量纲电流对混合系统优化性能的影响,确定混合发电系统运行于最大效率下光子增强热离子太阳能电池阴极材料的禁带宽度,电子亲和势,电池面积和温差热电发电器的无量纲电流的优化值.结果表明,采用混合发电系统,太阳能转换效率与工作于相同条件下的单一光增热离子太阳能电池的效率相比可提高约10%,而光增热离子太阳能电池阴极半导体材料禁带宽度在最大效率下的优化值则比单一光增热离子太阳能电池的小.本文所得结果可为实际光子增强热离子太阳能电池混合发电系统的设计和优化运行提供理论依据.A class of an irreversible thermodynamic model of the hybrid power system consisting of a photon-enhanced thermiomic emission solar cell(PETSC) and a thermoelectric generator(TEG) is established, in which some main irreversible losses existing real hybrid systems are taken into account. Based on equations of the energy balance between the solar cell and thermoelectric generator,expressions for the power output and efficiency of the hybrid system are derived. By using the numerical calculation, influences of the cell area, the energy band gap and electron affinity of the cathode semiconductor materials, and the dimensionless current of the generator on the optimal performance of the hybrid system are analyzed in detail. Under the operating condition of maximum efficiency, the optimal values of some important performance parameters of the hybrid system, such as the energy band gap, electron affinity, area and dimensionless current, are given. The results obtained in this paper show that by using the hybrid system, the solar energy conversion efficiency can be increased by about 10% and the optimal value of the energy band gap for the PESTC of the hybrid system at maximum efficiency is smaller than that of the energy band gap for alone operating PESTC. All the results obtained in this article will provide some theoretical basis for the design and optimal operation of practical PETSC hybrid system.国家自然科学基金(批准号:11175148,11305064);; 福建省自然科学基金(批准号:2011J01012);; 华侨大学引进人才科研启动资金(编号:09BS510)资助项
