Thermal Monitoring of Photovoltaic module using Optical Fiber Sensors
| Resumo: | Abstract This paper proposes the use of fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) in thermal monitoring of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Results acquired from FBG sensors were compared with two commonly used temperature sensing techniques in PV modules: PT100 sensors and infrared cameras. The experiments were performed using a PV module in actual operating conditions (varying ambient temperature and wind speed). Temperature changes in PV module were monitored with 27 FBG sensors installed on its front surface. During the experiments the ambient temperature, intensity of solar radiation and wind velocity were also monitored. The acquired results showed that FBG sensing technology has a potential for the proposed application. |
