“…According to these data and PVGIS software calculations, the average value of the annual radiation per m 2 optimal inclined panel at fixed solar PV systems of 1 MW power is in the range from 1.390 Wh/m 2 to 1.670 Wh/m 2 . For different cities, depending on location and type of PV module, as well as different types of systems, there are different values of global radiation [16]. The increase of the solar radiation induces increase of the ambient and PV modules temperature which leds to PV plant efficiency decreases.…”

Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI170531123M Solar radiation in Serbia is for about a third higher than in Middle Europe, which represents a very favorable energy potential. Southeast Serbia is a leading area in this aspect, since the annual average of daily global radiation on a horizontal surface exceeds 4.2 kWh/m 2 . This paper compares four photovoltaic power plants installed in southeastern Serbia. Analyzes are done based on results from two years of power plant exploitation. The power plants are not located in the same areathere are differences between topography and altitude of their locations, which is also taken into account during analyzes. Photovoltaic modules have different orientation and inclination toward horizontal surface, and their capacity varies from 30-40 kW. The conclusion provides recommendations for improvement of production where it is actually possible.RES. This goal was laid out through obligatory national sub-goals, which took into account different starting points of the member states [2]. Regarding solar energy, the White book of the EU from 1997, set a goal that by 2010 the total capacity of installed photovoltaic (PV) systems should reach 3 GW [3]. The predicted PV solar system capacity was reached earlier than planned and already by the end of 2008, the total capacity was 9.5 GW [4,5]. More than half of European PV power plants were installed in Germany, approximately 5.3 GW and about 1/3 in Spain. Since 2005, solar PV electricity generation capacity has increased from 1.9 GW in 2005 to 80.7 GW by the end of 2013, and the 2020 National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) target of 84.4 GW was exceeded, fig. 1, by the end of 2014, reaching about 88.4 GW [6]. Energy Law of the Republic of Serbia set the legal framework and the ability to use incentives in the production of electricity from renewable sources.

“…Electric power supply to remoter households or villages is substantially application of PVs for many incoming years. Over the past two decades, installed off-grid and/or ongrid PV systems have shown their great potential (Pavlović et al, 2013). Number of installed PV systems has rapidly increased.…”

Elementary description and information on a grid-connected photovoltaic solar power plant (PV plant) of 2 kW p installed in Niš and the influence of meteorological parameters on its operation are given in this paper. Besides, experimental results of the calculation of the energy efficiency, electrical energy generated and output power of this PV plant operating in the real climate conditions in 2017 are presented. The results regarding climate parameters and characteristic performance parameter of 2 kW p PV plant in Niš in 2017 are discussed and it was found that in 2017 annual energy efficiency of this PV plant was 10.63% and it decreased with the ambient temperature increasing.

Summary This paper presents a techno‐economic analysis of photovoltaic mini‐grid systems (PMs), using a group of remote houses in 3 locations in Nigeria, as case studies. It uses a worst‐case users' load demand approach for the design and analysis of the proposed energy system, according to international technical standards. It presents detailed capacity, yield and losses, battery state of charge (SoC), reliability, users' load demand increase (Ldi), and life cycle economic analyses by using the Hybrid Optimisation for Electric Renewables (HOMER) simulation tool. The effect of 25% Ldi is also considered in the paper. The study can be used to develop a practical energy model to address the poor energy situation in those locations when they are implemented. Results indicate that PMs of 68, 76, and 61 kW can meet the users' demand of ~63 500 kWh/year with an availability of 99.2% for the locations, respectively. By including a 30‐kVA diesel generator to the PMs' model, an availability of 100% was obtained, demonstrating that the issue of loss of energy supply for several days in the year due to users' Ldi and the cloudy days is being addressed. The results further show that although the hybrid energy systems have relatively higher initial capital, total life cycle and replacement costs, and the cost of energy, they achieve a higher reliability compared with the proposed PMs. The research can be useful for planning solar PV infrastructure for remote locations around the world.
