Power generation household solar photovoltaic power generation combined with intelligent shading technology make buildings more energy efficient

Polaris solar photovoltaic net news: the federal institute of technology in Zurich researchers develop the wall outside solar photovoltaic power generation combined with intelligent shading technology, implements the building's energy balance. Developed by professor ArnoSchluter construction system and its team of an adaptive solar curtain wall system, which can realize self-adjusting each room, make its produce more energy than the energy of the year. The latest research results published in the latest issue of Nature Energy journal. Innovative facade including installation in lightweight steel cable Internet mobile solar panel array. They can be controlled separately, and through the soft implement vertical and horizontal moving machine components. These soft machine actuators is the core of the system: its soft material by changing its shape under pressure and u-shaped joint rigidity, enabling them to lock in position against the bad weather and storm. The researchers tested the weatherability of the system, and using multiple prototypes in Hnggerberg campus were measured. They found that the sunny summer day, the energy of the portable solar panels than static solar panels installed on the building facade is about 50% more. The facade, however, not only can generate electricity, can also control how much light and heat through building palisade structure, adjusting the internal climate. Adaptive learning algorithm for the movement of the control panel, solar energy, so that the internal space heating and cooling to save cost to reduce the net energy demand. At the same time, the algorithm is also considering the current use of the building and adjust the climate. In order to determine in theory can reduce the energy consumption level of room, the researchers use prototype data simulation of several scenarios. They were calculated in Cairo, Zurich and Helsinki building with a portable solar energy saving potential of exterior wall of building. By doing so, solar equipment, office and residential space has carried on the simulation results show that the office of energy saving is often higher than the living space, warm and cold climate, temperate regions such as central Europe, in particular, its energy saving effect is more obvious. ArnoSchluter summarizes these findings: 'environmental conditions change, the greater the solar portal, the greater the benefits of adaptive facade. 'In a building constructed according to the latest standards, temperate regions ( In this case, the Zurich) You can see the best in office space simulation of energy balance. Within a year need under the condition of heating and cooling, adaptive wall for 115% of the energy required to produce a comfortable indoor environment of the electricity. Equally good results from 1920 years ago in Cairo building office space simulation, its need more shade and cool. In this case, the facade produced 114% of the annual energy demand. Solar portal, in other words, the study emphasized the old and new building energy-saving potential, but walls must always be combined with internal space and its use. 'We want to solve the user comfort and energy efficiency in buildings trade-off between,' said ArnoSchluter. 'In theory, the energy saving of space will be no Windows. As a result, solar panels, we are pleased to show you how the building intelligent interface between internal and external can provide the best user comfort and produce excess energy. 'Schluter professor team are studying adaptive solar stand face the impact of building physics: the system is the NEST Dubendorf research building on the top of the platform to build part of a futuristic' HiLo 'unit.
