“…As for solar radiation, we can observe maximum values of irradiation in March-June and minimum in August. The minimum values observed in August are mainly due to prevailing cloudy conditions [13,14]. Finally, the time series of daily wind speed depicts also seasonal variation with maximum values recorded in June and minimum in November.…”

In this paper, we applied the Wavelet Transform Coherence (WTC) and phase analysis to analyze the relationship between the daily electricity demand (DED) and weather variables such as temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and radiation. The DED data presents both seasonal fluctuations and increasing trend while the weather variables depict only seasonal variation. The results obtained from the WTC and phase analysis permit us to detect the period of time when the DED significantly correlates with the weather variables. We found a strong seasonal interdependence between the air temperature and DED for a periodicity of 256-512 days and 128-256 days. The relationship between the humidity and DED also shows a significant interdependence for a periodicity of 256-512 days with average coherence equal to 0.8. Regarding the radiation and wind speed, the correlation is low with average coherence less than 0.5. These results provide an insight into the properties of the impacts of weather variables on electricity demand on the basis of which power planners can rely to improve their forecasting and planning of electricity demand.

“…The air temperature affects the efficiency of PV systems, where under a lower temperature, silicon PV modules convert solar irradiance into electricity at higher efficiency [43]. Thus, the effects of climate and system parameters on solar electricity have been proven to be significant, especially on the performance of PV plants [44][45][46].…”

This chapter will introduce the energy situation in Indonesia as well as the main factors that influence it. Being one of the world's largest archipelagos, Indonesia has a unique and highly distributed power supply system. The population size is the main factor which causes a significant demand for energy. The growing economy of Indonesia brings optimism, including on the subject of renewable energy development. Across Indonesia's area, high levels of solar energy are available the whole year through. However, the present role of the central government in energy development is still very big, which causes inefficiency. This demands a more significant role of local entities, especially governments and the private sector. In our discussions, we mainly refer to statistics from 2017 in combination with older data. An Archipelago with a Unique Power Supply SystemIndonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagos. The country has a total area of 8.3 million km 2 , comprising 77% water surface and 17,504 islands [1]. Around 111 of its outer islands share borders with neighboring countries. As shown in Fig. 1.1, Indonesia stretches over 5,000 km from the East to the West, across South-East Asia and Oceania and two oceans, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Most of the citizens live on five major islands, namely Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Yet, around 6,000 other islands were inhabited in 2014 [2].

“…In 2017, a study by Abdellatif examined the effect of dust accumulation, ambient temperature, relative humidity and cloud cover on the performance of monocrystalline silicon solar modules in the Niamey region of Niger. The results showed that the collected dust was one of the most contributing factors in the low performance of solar modules, followed by the effect of temperature and then relative humidity and clouds [6]. In addition to the effect of solar radiation, temperature, humidity, and wind speed each of altitude and atmospheric air pressure were restudied by researchers Manoj Lakhan in 2017 [7], and Manas Rangan Das in 2019 [8], and the results showed that some of these factors reduce the performance of the solar module and others enhance its performance.…”

The country of Iraq tops the list of countries in solar activity and therefore has the most important renewable energy sources, which we desperately need to fill the acute shortage of electrical energy. The availability of this source coincides with a significant rise in temperature in most of its regions and a wide range of days of the year. Where temperatures play a key role in wind activity and the provocation of dust storms, which urgently requires a field study to find out the impact of these factors on the performance of photovoltaic solar modules. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the performance of the solar module under the influence of dust accumulation, temperature and wind speed. A group symmetric of monocrystalline silicon solar modules have been experimented to see how these factors affect the performance of the modules. The results showed that there is a clear impact by the heat factor and dust accumulation on the performance of solar modules, but the wind factor is the least influential and what can be concluded is that Iraq, especially the city of Baghdad, is an ideal place to invest solar energy in the production of electrical energy.
