Abstract

With the implementation of energy saving and carbon reduction, the quantitative analysis of solar energy spectral characteristics has been paid more and more attention. Currently, the international test standards provide a spectral distribution with a large span between different wavebands, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of special spectral wavebands. In this paper, based on the principle of spectral splitting, the spectral distribution of solar radiation models (SDSR models) is proposed, and the differences in the spectral distributions of natural outdoor and artificial indoor light sources are evaluated. Firstly, the differences in PV module output power between the outdoor light sources and indoor artificial light sources are assessed in terms of inclination angle and solar radiation, respectively. Secondly, based on that difference, the influencing factors of the spectral distribution of solar radiation are investigated, and the SDSR models of different wavelengths is established based on spectral analysis results. Finally, based on the established SDSR models, the spectral distribution modified models (SDM models) for different inclination angles under artificial light sources is proposed. By comparing the calculated values of the SDM models with the measured data, the calculated values of the model are close to the measured data at different incidence angles. The SDM models proposed in this paper shortens the gap between the spectral distribution of the artificial light source and the outdoor natural light source, and reveal the influence mechanism of the difference in the output power of indoor and outdoor PV modules from the perspective of the spectral distribution. The results can provide guidance for the spectral distribution of solar radiation and the quantitative modification of the artificial light source.
