Optimization of a photovoltaic system: a case study Kosovo

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is optimization of existing PV system and by making the optimization to reach the heights energy performance from the system. Design/methodology/approach The methodology used in this work is analytical as well as software using PV*SOL premium software. Both methods are used to achieve a more realistic analysis of the results achieved at the end of the work. Findings After analyzing the optimization of the PV system in terms of certain atmospheric conditions, it is clear that the optimization of the system is necessary. Through the optimization of the systems, a better performance of the system is achieved, as well as in the case in question, it affects the increase of the energy generated annually up to 500 kWh. Originality/value This work is the original work of the author, which represents a part of the topic of the doctorate.

Data quality processing for photovoltaic system measurements

“…The irradiance limits can be based on extraterrestrial irradiance values and the clear sky index [20]. The PVS power level depends on the irradiance level, then the solar position can be obtained from meteorological information and can be used to estimate the available power, also commercial software process data for power production [21], [22]. Similarly, the linear relationship between power and irradiance allows the identification of outlier measurements [2], [23].…”
