Dynamic Performance Comparison of the Different PV Modules with Real Data

Abstract

Nowadays, photovoltaic panels are an important source of electricity production and one of the preferable renewable resources. Many companies have started to produce because of increasing PV panel demand. It is a fact that the performance of PV panels under real environmental conditions in the application area will affect the benefit to be obtained from the application and the investment to be made. In this study, MATLAB/Simulink models of the PV panels are used for performance comparison with measured weather data in Istanbul, Turkey. The parameters of five different PV panels in the market are used for analysing the total energy generation performances under different weather conditions. Thus, the effects of using dynamic analysis to be obtained from more detailed simulation studies have been revealed instead of feasibility calculations to be made using only the data specified in the technical document.
