Abstract
Solar Systems has more than 10 years experience with grid-connected CPV systems using large reflective optics. Over the last 7 years, Solar Systems has deployed 47 dish units, of which 23 are with multijunction solar cells, in five different commercial CPV power plants and two testing facilities, for a total installed capacity of 1.5 MWp. Recently, Solar Systems has designed and built a 140kWp Heliostat Concentrator PV (HCPV) system at its new Testing and Training Facility in Bridgewater, Victoria. The demonstration of the performance of the HCPV system met all the specification targets. The system reached a power output of 140kW with a DC efficiency of 24% to 26% and an optical efficiency of 84%, measured on two different days, four months apart, around solar noon. This is the first utility-scale Heliostat CPV system ever built. It is also for Solar Systems the first demonstration of a new technology to be deployed in a large 154-MWp power plant in Northern Victoria.
Solar Systems在使用大型反射光学元件的并网CPV系统方面拥有超过10年的经验。在过去的7年里,Solar Systems已经在5个不同的商业CPV发电厂和2个测试设施中部署了47个碟形装置,其中23个是多结太阳能电池,总装机容量为1.5兆瓦。最近,Solar Systems在其位于维多利亚州布里奇沃特的新测试和培训设施中设计并建造了一个140kWp定日镜聚光器PV (HCPV)系统。HCPV系统的性能验证达到了所有的规范指标。该系统的输出功率为140kW,直流效率为24%至26%,光学效率为84%,测量时间为两个不同的日子,间隔四个月,大约在太阳正午。这是有史以来第一个公用事业规模定日镜CPV系统。这也是太阳能系统公司首次在维多利亚北部的一座154兆瓦的大型发电厂展示一项新技术。
