Comparison and assessment of electricity generation capacity for different types of PV solar plants of 1MW in Soko banja, Serbia

Abstract

This paper gives the results of the electricity generated by the fixed, one-axis and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant of 1 MW with flat PV panels made of monocrystalline silicon which is to be built in the area of Soko banja (spa in Serbia). Further on follows a description of the functioning of the fixed and one-axis and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant. For the calculation of the electricity generated by these plants PVGIS program from the Internet was used. Calculations have shown that fixed PV solar plant power of 1 MW, solar modules of monocrystalline silicon yield 1130000 kWh power output, one-axis tracking PV solar plant yields 1420000 kWh, and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant yields 1450000 kWh of electricity. Electricity generated by the fixed PV solar plant could satisfy 86% of the annual needs for the electricity of the „Zdravljak“ hotel and the special „Novi stacionar“ hospital in Soko banja

Educational PV system at the “Politehnica” University of Timişoara

“…The annual measured energy efficiency has been 1267.5 kWh/kW p . This compares favorably with the value of 1140 kWh/kW p estimated by the PVGIS system for solar panels inclined by 45 deg [13] and with the value of 1130 kWh/kW p estimated for systems installed at a place in a neighboring region (43 o 39'N, 21 o 52E) [14]. However, the last figure has been estimated for a large system -1 MW.…”

Assessment and potential use of concentrating solar power plants in Serbia and Republic of Srpska

“…SOLAREC is an internally funded project on PV solar energy for the 7 th Framework Programme. PVGIS provides data for the analysis of the technical, environmental and socio-economic factors of solar PV electricity generation in Europe and supports systems for EU countries solar energy decision-makings [24].…”

“…These data are very important when doing calculations of the profitability of PV solar plants and CSP plants equipment [24]. Table 2 shows characteristics of the locations in Europe with some active CSP plants and some CSP plants that are still being constructed.…”

ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF BUILDING INTEGRATED PV SYSTEMS OF 1 kW ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN BANJA LUKA

“…The paper [9] claims that the advantage of integrated photovoltaics over more common nonintegrated systems is that the initial cost can be offset by reducing normal construction costs of building materials and labor for parts of the building replaced by BIPV modules. These advantages make BIPV one of the fastest growing segments of the photovoltaic industry [12].…”

“…Efficiency of the commercial monocrystalline silicon solar cells is 15%, of polycrystalline silicon is around 12%, of amorphous silicon is around 5% and from CdTe and CIS is around 8%. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar modules are more suitable for the areas with predominantly direct sun radiation, while solar modules of thin film are more suitable for the areas with predominantly diffuse sun radiation [7], [9], [12−14].…”
