“…The solar panel power will be directly proportional to the intensity of the sun, as shown in Figure 1. Kaplanis et al [21], the change in the output power of the solar panel to the intensity of the sun has a slope graph close to 1. Therefore, the output power of the solar panel is very dependent on the intensity of the sun received as depicted in Figure 2.…”

The increase in energy needs to support sustainable development will trigger a large additional power supply. Unfortunately, a current energy source is mostly produced by fossil fuels. This condition can affect the increase of global warming and climate change. Nowadays, many countries including Indonesia are aware of the effect of the use of fossil fuels on environmental devastation. Therefore, the use of clean energy gets more attention from many countries since its energy source is unlimited and harvested from nature. One of the clean energy sources that are widely utilized over the world is photovoltaic (PV). PV is an appropriate clean energy technology to be utilized in Indonesia since this country lies on the equator line and gets solar irradiance over the year. This paper proposed the design of PV systems for a public-school building. These PV schemes proposed in this study are classified into off-grid, on-grid, and hybrid PV systems. From the simulation results, it is shown that the hybrid PV system with energy supplied by PT. PLN (State Electricity Company) results in the highest saving annual cost and provides an environmentally friendly energy source for public-school buildings.

Compared with other energy sources in near-space, solar energy is more renewable, stable and accessible, which makes solar cells the main source of energy for long-endurance near-space vehicles. However, due to the limited solar cells laying area and complex flight conditions, near-space vehicles are facing tense energy supply situation during flight. Therefore, fast and accurately online power prediction of the solar array, which has important significance for power management, efficient use and reliable operation of the energy system, is the key point to solving the situation at present. In this paper, a hybrid online power prediction method combined particle filter and power calculation model is proposed. Firstly, a comprehensive solar cell array power calculation model for the near-space vehicle is established. Then, the particle filter algorithm is used to estimate optimally the important parameters in the power calculation model with the flight data, to realize the dynamic, rapid and accurate prediction of the power generation of the vehicle during flight. Finally, the data obtained from flight tests of the stratospheric aerostat and high-altitude scientific balloon are verified and compared with the other four models. The results demonstrate that the generation power prediction method proposed in this paper has higher prediction accuracy, which will be a good guiding significance for the actual flight of different types of near-space vehicles.INDEX TERMS near-space vehicle, solar array, power prediction, particle filter (PF), high-altitude balloon, stratospheric aerostat NOMENCLATURE VARIABLES

“…An electro-dynamic screen (EDS) mounted on a solar PV panel can ensure automatic and continuous clearance of accumulated dry dust. 132 A high-voltage supply is used to create an electric field of a transparent screen, which assists in the removal of charged and uncharged dust particle from the PV panels by moving them over the panel's edge. This cleaning technique is helpful in dry, arid and desert areas and removes over 90% of dust in less than two minutes.…”

Conventional fossil fuel‐based power generation is one of the main contributors to global environmental pollutions. The rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves as well as their adverse environmental impact heighten the quest for cleaner and sustainable energy resources to generate electricity. Solar energy is an unlimited and immeasurable source of renewable energy that is used for direct electricity production through the solar PV cell. However, environmental conditions as well as operation and maintenance of the solar PV cell affect the optimum output and substantially impact the energy conversion efficiency, productivity and lifetime, thus affect the economy of power generation. In this study, an investigation about recent works regarding the effect of environmental and operational factors on the performance of solar PV cell is presented. It is found that dust allocation and soiling effect are crucial, along with the humidity and temperature that largely affect the performance of PV module. Additionally, the wind itself carries a significant amount of dust and sand particles, especially in the deserted areas. Deposition of dust in humid conditions forms adhesive, sticky mud on the PV cell and worsens the situation as it reduces the power generation up to 60–70%. This study discusses advanced approaches to mitigate the effects of these factors with their relative merits and challenges. Finally, a guideline is proposed to minimize the effect of different environmental and operational factors to optimize the performance of solar PV cell.
