This work is devoted to modeling, analysis and simulation of a small-scale stand-alone wind/PV hybrid power generation system. Wind turbine is modelled and many parameters are taken into account, such as pitch angle, rotor diameter, wind speed, etc. The PV module is then modelled under nominal conditions such as cell temperature, solar radiation, etc. A MATLAB computer programs is developed to solve the mathematical model for small scale horizontal axis wind turbine and PV system. The experimental study has been conducted using a small scale wind turbine based on 500 W permanent magnet synchronous generator. A PV panel used has 36 monocrystalline silicon cells connected together in series having the ability to generate 50 W of rated power. Results show that the load consumes power from both systems but there is an excess and lack of power supply in some operating conditions, such as variation of solar radiation and wind speed.
Modern research focuses on the renewable energy sources such as solar energy. This paper presents the modeling and performance of a photovoltaic (PV) cell. A simulation code is built using MATLAB. Results show that the increase of solar radiation and of ideality factor of diode lead to an increase in the output power of PV module, while the increease of cell temperature and of the dark saturation current lead to a decrease of the power. Curves of I-V and P -V dependencies are presented for module having 50 branches connected in parallel, with each branch having 50 cells connected in series. Data for certain Iraqi governorates are taken and applied for proposed module.
In this paper, the hybrid PVT double pass system with a mixed-mode solar dryer type under forced convection has been designed, fabricated and installed for drying crops. The dryer was tried by drying 300 grams of banana slices in the air temperature of dryer range from 43.2 to 60.2°C. The initial moisture rate of banana was about 78% and the most dropped in moisture content was from 78% to 33% after 8 hours of the drying process. The banana slices are distributed in two identical trays and it was noticed that the most and least decreasing in weight of banana samples was from 150 to 48 gram and from 150 to 55 gram in lower and upper tray respectively, when the mass flow rate as 0.031 and 0.017 kg/s, which means that the high reduction was 68% of weight banana at a high mass flow rate of airflow. The critical parameter such as temperature distribution of the PVT with dryer room, useful heat gain, and thermal efficiency are computed by using the MATLAB 2015b program built for this purpose. The optimum useful heat gain and thermal efficiency were reached 423.7 and 52.98% respectively when the solar radiation 1190 and the mass flow rate of 0.031 kg/s.
In this work, the influence of colors of filters upon the photovoltaic panels rising temperature and electrical performance was studied under Baghdad Meteorological Condition. Basing on the energy analysis of a photovoltaic solar system and by using the photonic theory, the available energy on the PV plane system has been evaluated. Seven colored filters each with (85W) PV modules were used in this case study, to reveal the impact of colored filters upon the electrical productivity of PV panel with the variation in the temperature caused by these filters. There is the main issue of this work is to show how the performance of PV module by imposing colored filter and hence how and to how much improve it by reducing the cell temperature in hot climate. Outcomes showed that the PV technology is affected by the color filters. In other words, red filter gives light have least photons energy, and violet filter gives light have the most photons energy and green is between the two. So, red colors filter gives highest PV panel temperature comparative with others filters, while violet color filter was the lowest. PV module with the lowest temperature colored filter gives the best electrical performance than others.
