In this paper, an attempt of performance evaluation of semitransparent and opaque photovoltaic (PV) modules of different generation solar cells, having the maximum efficiencies reported in the literature at standard test conditions (STC), has been carried out particularly for the months of January and June. The outdoor performance is also evaluated for the commercially available semitransparent and opaque PV modules. Annual electrical energy, capitalized cost, annualized uniform cost (unacost), and cost per unit electrical energy for both types of solar modules, namely, semitransparent and opaque have also been computed along with their characteristics curves. Semitransparent PV modules have shown higher efficiencies compared to the opaque ones. Calculations show that for the PV modules made in laboratory, CdTe exhibits the maximum annual electrical energy generation resulting into minimum cost per unit electrical energy, whereas a-Si/nc-Si possesses the maximum annual electrical energy generation giving minimum cost per unit electrical energy when commercially available solar modules are concerned. CIGS has shown the lowest capitalized cost over all other PV technologies.

“…Hourly solar irradiation on horizontal plane is taken from meteorological databases which are used to calculate the solar irradiation on tilted SPV panel using an anisotropic model. Durish model [16] is used to calculate the efficiency of SPV panels on hourly basis considering, solar irradiation, air mass and cell temperature. The number of SPV panels and the type of SPV panel are optimized using the optimization algorithm.…”

Abstract-Grid connected renewable energy systems are becoming popular due to reasons such as rapid escalation of energy prices, depletion of fossil fuel resources and pollutant emitted by conventional energy sources. Therefore, technologies for incorporating renewable energy technologies into the existing electricity grid needs to be researched more considering the changes in grid architecture. This study presents a novel method for optimum design and control of an Electric-Hub (EH) which consist of Solar PV panels, wind turbines, battery bank operating in a grid (low voltage) integrated mode. This study reports the simulation based optimization algorithm developed to obtain optimum system configuration and operation strategy considering two conflicting objectives; i.e. Levelized Energy Cost (LEC) and Leveliyed CO2 emission (LCO2). A detail energy flow model is developed to evaluate energy flow through wind turbines and SPV panels on hourly basis. Interaction with the battery bank and the Low-Voltage Grid (LVG) is determined using an expert system. Operating state of the system is determined based on renewable energy generation, Cost of Electricity (COE) in the LVG, state of charge of the battery bank. Subsequently, operating states of the expert system and configuration of the EH; i.e. type and capacity of SPV panels, wind turbines and battery bank is optimized using steady state ε-multi objective optimization technique. Seven Pareto solutions are selected at the end and analyzed the system configuration and control strategy.
