This paper presents a simplified mathematical model to estimate the energy produced by photovoltaic systems considering irradiance over the module surface, module temperature, and the wind speed of photovoltaic modules. This analysis is compared with the more usual analysis of energy production of a photovoltaic system using the monthly average irradiation data. Simulation results are presented to compare and validate the proposed analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
