Abstract In this work we present a simulation of performance of curved thin-film modules for building and product integrated photovoltaic applications. Flexibility of design and possibility of achieving irregular shapes is important feature in these markets. The photovoltaic module model presented in this work is based on a coupled two-step model. The first 1D model describes the technology and outputs device current density in dependence of voltage, temperature, illumination, etc. The second 3D model uses this data as one of its inputs, and describes size, shape and interconnection of the individual cells within the curved flexible module. In this way power production of such photovoltaic system can be assessed in reasonable time and computing resources. Two study cases are presented: a dome shaped solar street lamp and a conic shaped active rooftop shading for a skylight.

用于建筑和产品集成光伏的柔性薄膜模块的建模

摘要 在这项工作中，我们展示了用于建筑和产品集成光伏应用的弯曲薄膜模块的性能模拟。设计的灵活性和实现不规则形状的可能性是这些市场的重要特征。这项工作中提出的光伏模块模型基于耦合的两步模型。第一个 1D 模型描述技术并输出与电压、温度、光照等相关的器件电流密度。第二个 3D 模型使用此数据作为其输入之一，并描述弯曲内单个电池的大小、形状和互连灵活的模块。通过这种方式，可以在合理的时间和计算资源内评估此类光伏系统的发电量。介绍了两个研究案例：
