Modeling the photovoltaic potential of a site

Modelling photovoltaic power

“…The model under validation has been presented in [3]. It is clear that the model can be improved if diffuse and beam solar irradiance data were separately available.…”

“…The model adopts the known linear dependence of photovoltaic power on solar irradiance and cell temperature ( [3] and references there in). The temperature coefficient of maximum power at STC conditions can be utilized from the manufacturer's data sheet or can be determined through actual measurements at high solar irradiances, e.g.…”

Fleet Management and Grid Integration of PV Generating Stations

“…In order to be able to estimate the daily PV generating capacity of a station, a model correlating the nominal power of the array under study, the temperature coefficient of the modules, the solar irradiance at the plane of the array, the air temperature and wind speed is implemented [25,26]. The results of the model for each station are then available to be grouped according to the power system structure and the calculation scope.…”

Meeting the Electrical Energy Needs of a Residential Building with a Wind-Photovoltaic Hybrid System

“…The component design and cost of a PV system to supply the desired energy and the payback period for the suggested stand-alone PV system have been evaluated [11]. Sizing algorithms have been developed for PV modules, wind generators and batteries [12]. The accumulation of energy obtained from renewable sources and stored as hydrogen, for satisfying the electrical supply of several islands, has been determined [13].…”
