Scientists in China have outlined a new system architecture for vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain walls. They claim the new design can reduce building energy consumption and yield more surplus power generation electricity.
In summary, partitioned design method of the VPV curtain wall can improve the performance of the conventional VPV curtain wall with the same overall PV coverage. Fig. 17. Comparison of VPV windows with different PV cells distributions of coverage of 40%. 3.3.2. The optimal case obtained using TOPSIS
“For the first time, a multi-function partitioned design method for PV curtain walls was proposed, which aims at reconciling the competing demand of different functions of PV curtain walls such as daylight, view, and power generation,” the research's lead author, Jinqing Peng, told pv magazine.
However, there is a lack of in-depth, performance-driven optimal design that considers the mutually constraining functions of the VPV curtain wall. To address this issue, this study proposed a multi-function partitioned design method for VPV curtain walls aimed at reconciling the competing demand of different functions.
When compared to the conventional VPV curtain wall with 40% PV coverage, the glare index reduced by 34.5%, the UDI and RNEH increased by 4.9% and 5.2%, and the surplus electricity increased by 112.59 kWh.
By contrast. VPV curtain walls with low PV coverage may have overheating issues, but may help the building require less energy for lighting and heating. “Thus, the single-objective optimal design of the VPV curtain walls is unable to balance its restrictive and even contradictory functions,” they stated.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years.
