Estimation of solar radiation on PV panel surface with optimum tilt angle using vortex search algorithm

Abstract: The amount of solar energy incidence on a photovoltaic (PV) panel depends on the PV tilt angles with respect to the horizon. It is thus crucial to investigate the optimum tilt angles to maximise the efficiency of PV panels and at the same time to increase the performance of solar energy systems. The objective of this study is to estimate the optimum tilt angle for PV panels in order to collect the maximum solar radiation for the city of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia. A newly developed optimisation algorithm called t… Show more

“…Therefore, solar energy is recognized as one of the most potential energy for large-scale development and utilization in this century. It is proposed in document [3][4][5] that increasing the development and utilization of solar energy resources can not only alleviate the pressure of economic growth on the environment and ecology to a great extent but also slow down the high-speed consumption of fossil energy, which is of far-reaching significance for the clean and sustainable development of energy [6,7]; the research on solar energy utilization technology began in the 1960s; after decades of development, photovoltaic and photothermal application technologies have matured and are now in the stage of commercial application [8]. Among them, the commercial solar water heater is widely used, with an effi-ciency of 60-70%.…”

“…Horizontal tilt data (ie direct, scattered and global solar radiation) are used to estimate the optimum tilt angle. The results show that the solar radiation estimated using the optimum tilt angle is maximized compared to that predicted on a horizontal surface [12].…”

“…This method uses either indirect or direct forecasting. Indirect prediction [1][2][3] predicts future irradiance using historical irradiance data and other weather variables, and uses a conversion formula to convert irradiance into PV power output. The curves for irradiance and PV power output are quite similar, thus this method usually accurately estimates PV power output if the irradiance prediction is accurate.…”
