基于秩-1矩阵摄动的递归主元分析算法

针对传统主元分析（PCA）算法仅适用于定常系统监测的不足,提出了一种基于秩-1矩阵摄动的递归主元分析（RPCA）算法以适应实际工业过程的时变特性.RPCA算法首先对初始化样本协方差矩阵进行特征值分解,得到特征向量矩阵与特征值矩阵;然后在各时刻采用秩-1矩阵摄动算法对这两个矩阵递归更新并对其各向量与各元素排序,同时以累计方差百分比（CPV）为标准选取主元数目,从而显著降低了运算复杂度,节省了存储量.青霉素间歇发酵过程在线监测的仿真结果表明,RPCA算法大大降低了系统的误警率,并及时监测出过程中存在的故障.     

Design and analysis of a CPV/T solar receiver with volumetric absorption combined spectral splitter

Spectral beam splitting is a promising technology to achieve the maximum electrical and thermal outputs from concentrating photovoltaic/thermal (CPV/T) systems simultaneously. In this article, a novel CPV/T receiver is proposed by incorporating a fluid based filter together with a solid absorptive filter. The geometry of the receiver is developed for a designed linear flat mirror concentrator. According to the optical transmittance of both fluid based filters and solid absorptive filters, as well as their corresponding merit functions, four fluid filters and two solid filters are determined to be the candidates of the combined filter for the silicon concentrator solar cell. Then, a complete solar radiation propagation process from concentrator to the designed CPV/T receiver is simulated using ray tracing software-LightTools. The results show that the surface illumination uniformity of the PV module filtered by each combined filter under the linear flat mirror concentrator is higher than 96%. Using 5 g/L CoSO₄ solution and HB650 as the combined filter, 33.67% of the concentrated light can be directed to the PV module with the remainder collected by the filter as thermal energy and the silicon CPV cells can convert 27.06% of this energy into electrical power. This contributes to the fact that 92.43% of the light striking the PV module is within 650-1100 nm, which is the spectral response range of the cell can work efficiently. The total efficiency of 49.88% can be achieved with such a filter and the electrical efficiency is 9.1% with respect to the total incident power on the receiver.     

Dense array connections for photovoltaic systems in concentration

Two new types of connections for photovoltaic cells in dense array are presented. These connections, making use of dc–dc converter modules, are shown to increase the power transfer to the load with respect to array realized with series o parallel connections for the same number of cells. The present connections are of particular interest in concentration photovoltaic (CPV) systems where the intensity of the incident light on each cell of the array can be very different causing the cells of the same array working with different current–voltage (I–V) curves. The two types of connection and the classical series and parallel connections are compared on a theoretical basis. Applications of the connections in real working scenarios are illustrated and discussed. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

YieldOpt,a model to predict the power output and energy yield for concentrating photovoltaic modules

In this work, we discuss three empirical models and introduce one more detailed model named YieldOpt. All models can be used to calculate the power output and energy yield of concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) modules under different ambient conditions. The YieldOpt model combines various modeling approaches: simple model of the atmospheric radiative transfer of sunshine for the spectral irradiance, a finite element method for thermal expansion, ray tracing for the optics, and a SPICE network model for the triple‐junction solar cell. YieldOpt uses a number of constant and variable input parameters, for example, the external quantum efficiency of the cells, the temperature‐dependent spectral optical efficiencies of the optics, the tracking accuracy, the direct normal irradiance, the aerosol optical depth, and the temperature of the lens and the solar cell. To verify the accuracy of the models, the I‐V characteristics of five CPV modules have been measured in a 10‐min interval over a period of 1 year in Freiburg, Germany. Four modules equipped with industrial‐standard lattice‐matched triple‐junction solar cells and one module equipped with metamorphic triple‐junction solar cells are investigated. The higher accuracy of YieldOpt compared with the three empirical models in predicting the power output of all five CPV modules during this period is demonstrated. The energy yield over a period of 1 year was predicted for all five CPV modules with a maximum deviation of 5% by the three empirical models and 3% by YieldOpt.

Analysis of perimeter recombination in the subcells of GaInP/GaAs/Ge triple‐junction solar cells

This paper studies the recombination at the perimeter in the subcells that constitute a GaInP/GaAs/Ge lattice‐matched triple‐junction solar cell. For that, diodes of different sizes and consequently different perimeter/area ratios have been manufactured in single‐junction solar cells resembling the subcells in a triple‐junction solar cell. It has been found that neither in GaInP nor in Ge solar cells the recombination at the perimeter is significant in devices as small as 500 μm × 500μm(2.5 ⋅ 10 ^{− 3} cm²) in GaInP and 250μm × 250μm (6.25 ⋅ 10 ^{− 4}cm²) in Ge. However, in GaAs, the recombination at the perimeter is not negligible at low voltages even in devices as large as 1cm², and it is the main limiting recombination factor in the open circuit voltage even at high concentrations in solar cells of 250 μm × 250μm (6.25 ⋅ 10 ^{− 4} cm²) or smaller. Therefore, the recombination at the perimeter in GaAs should be taken into account when optimizing triple‐junction solar cells. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
