This system comprises key components such as a Fresnel lens concentrating system, gallium arsenide solar photovoltaic cells, a CPV cell cooling system, and a solar tracking system. Sunlight is focused by the lens system into a spot of the same area as the photovoltaic cells.
In conclusion, the integration of CPVS and LAES can enhance the solar energy utilization by leveraging the energy storage advantages and surplus refrigeration capacity of LAES units, prolonging the lifespan of CPV cells and improving the economic benefits of CPVS.
The research findings indicate: After integrating LAES cooling utilization into CPVS, the efficiency of the 4.15 MW photovoltaic module increased from 30 % to 37.33 %, representing a growth of 24.41 %.
Thus, the development of large-scale Concentrated Photovoltaic Systems (CPVS) has been propelled by the concentration of sunlight onto efficient CPV cells using low-cost reflectors or lenses .
However, the implementation of this solution requires a suitable energy storage method. Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) has emerged as a promising energy storage method due to its advantages of large-scale, long-duration energy storage, cleanliness, low carbon emissions, safety, and long lifespan.
In this context, Concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV) play a crucial role in renewable energy generation and carbon emission reduction as a highly efficient and clean power generation technology .
