This paper investigates the optimization of crystalline silicon solar array layout and finds that altering the size and layout of solar modules can significantly improve energy capture efficiency. Larger solar modules should be used in mid-low latitude regions, while smaller modules should be used in high latitude regions.
The energy of solar airships comes from solar array, and the amount of solar radiation received by solar array determines airship endurance. Many studies optimize the solar array layout to receive more solar radiation. However, most of them are for flexible thin-film array. The influence of the size of the currently commonly used crystalline silicon panels on received energy is not considered. This paper establishes a solar irradiation model and a receiving energy model suitable for crystalline silicon arrays. The effects of array shape, array location, and module size on the energy received by crystalline silicon solar arrays are analyzed at different flight latitudes. Then, an improved genetic algorithm is designed to optimize the array geometric parameters. The results show that altering the size and layout of solar modules significantly influences energy capture, with opposing trends between regions of mid-low latitudes and high latitudes. Airships flying at mid-low latitudes should adopt larger solar modules, while airships flying at high latitudes should adopt smaller ones. After the optimization using the proposed algorithm, the received energy of solar array is further enhanced. The optimization resulted in a 2% improvement at mid-low latitudes and an 18% improvement at high latitudes over conventional optimization.
