Накратко на български
Слънчевите панели за сгради се изследват така, че да работят ефективно дори при частично засенчване от съседни обекти. Това помага за намаляване на загубите от енергия и ускорява прехода към източници с нулеви въглеродни емисии.

Smart Reconfigurable photovoltaic modules for Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic applications
One of the main limitations affecting the PhotoVoltaic (PV) energy production of a PV module is related to current mismatch. In applications such as Building Integrated PV (BIPV), the PV modules cannot always be placed under ideal circumstances due to restrictions arising from the building profile, so that both non-ideal orientation and inhomogeneous irradiation resulting from shadowing from obstacles will often create non-uniform illumination. This, in turn, creates current mismatch not only among different modules belonging to the same array, but also within each PV module. Unfortunately, performance of conventional PV modules is strongly degraded in conditions of partial shading, with dramatic losses even if only one cell is shaded. Thus, shade tolerant modules are needed to facilitate exploitation of PV in the urban environment. Such modules will thus enable net zero energy buildings, or even net positive energy buildings. As a consequence, shade-tolerant PV modules will also speed up the energy transition from fossil-based to zero-carbon, that is necessary to limit climate change. The main objective of this project is to design and demonstrate novel energy efficient, shade tolerant and cost-effective PV modules, with optimal performance in BIPV applications, thanks to the implementation of reconfiguration strategies

Цел на проекта
The use of PhotoVoltaic (PV) modules in the built environment has rapidly been growing during the last years, especially in Europe. Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic (BIPV) modules cannot always be placed under ideal circumstances due to restrictions arising from the building profile. Therefore, non-ideal orientation and inhomogeneous irradiation resulting from shadowing from obstacles will often create non-uniform illumination. This, in turn, creates current mismatch among the different PV modules as well as among the different cells each PV module is made of. This mismatch can cause a dramatic reduction of the overall PV module power. Since current PV module technologies, both standard and smart, are not able to efficiently and effectively face the mismatch issue in highly non-uniform applications such as BIPV, innovative PV module technologies are required. The aim of this proposal is to realize a first fully functional demonstrator of Reconfigurable Smart PV (RSPV) module, able to dynamically change the electrical interconnection between the PV cells in real-time as the PV module adapts to its environment, and to develop the integrated intelligence. Both hardware and software will be designed ad hoc in order to balance additional cost and energy harvesting in non-ideal conditions. Such a solution will increase the energy harvesting in BIPV applications, where non-uniform operating conditions often occur.
