Tóm tắt

Tóm tắt Lần đầu tiên, in 3-D giá rẻ và mã nguồn mở cung cấp khả năng sản xuất phân tán ở quy mô hộ gia đình cho các sản phẩm tùy chỉnh, có giá trị cao và phức tạp. Để khám phá tiềm năng của loại hình sản xuất cực kỳ phân tán này, đã được chứng minh là giảm thiểu tác động môi trường so với sản xuất truyền thống, bài báo này trình bày một nghiên cứu trường hợp về thiết kế tham số có thể in 3-D cho hệ thống khung năng lượng mặt trời (PV) cho xe nhà lưu động (RV). Thiết kế là một thiết bị gắn góc bốn, có khả năng tùy chỉnh góc nghiêng và chiều cao của khoảng cách. Điều này cho phép tối ưu hóa hiệu suất của hệ thống PV cho một vĩ độ nhất định, vĩ độ có thể thay đổi vì RV có thể di chuyển trên nhiều địa bàn khác nhau. Các thiết kế in 3-D mã nguồn mở được chế tạo và phân tích về thời gian in, mức tiêu thụ điện năng khi in, tính chất cơ học và chi phí kinh tế. Kết quả ban đầu cho thấy sản xuất phân tán của sản phẩm trong nghiên cứu trường hợp này dẫn đến việc giảm thiểu chi phí kinh tế ở một cấp độ đáng kể cho các sản phẩm tương đương. Thêm vào đó, những tiết kiệm chi phí này vẫn được duy trì trong khi cải thiện chức năng của hệ thống khung. Sản lượng điện bổ sung cho một hệ thống PV của RV trong nghiên cứu trường hợp với chức năng góc nghiêng cải thiện ở ba vị trí đại diện tại Mỹ được phát hiện là trung bình cao hơn 20% so với hệ thống khung được sản xuất hàng loạt thông thường. Kết quả ban đầu làm rõ rằng sản xuất phân tán - ngay cả ở cấp độ hộ gia đình - với các máy in 3-D mã nguồn mở là khả thi về mặt kỹ thuật và có lợi về mặt kinh tế. Nghiên cứu thêm là cần thiết để mở rộng kết quả của nghiên cứu ban đầu này cho các loại sản phẩm khác.
