Abstract

In order to explore the dust deposition characteristics on the surface of photovoltaic(PV) modules. For the dust accumulation problem of ground-mounted photovoltaic, the deposition characteristics of dust particles with different particle sizes were investigated from two factors, namely, tilt angle and wind speed, by using CFD numerical simulation method. The results show that as the tilt angle of the PV module increases, the deposition rate of dust on the surface of the PV module gradually decreases, in addition, it is found that when the PV module is facing the wind, the rate of dust deposition increases with the increase of wind speed, and the maximum particle size of dust deposition will become larger with the increase of wind speed. At the same time, with the increase of particle size, the deposition of dust on the surface of the PV module is the first to increase and then decrease. The study is of great significance in solving the problem of dust accumulation in photovoltaic power plants.
