Parabolic Dish (PD) Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) generation has appeared as one of Renewable Energy (RE) that is efficient and trustworthy. As technology moves into commercialization, it is necessary to study the performance of PD system at various locations. Current literature on PD especially for tropical environment such as Malaysia and locations with Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) lower than 1500 kWh/m2/year is still scarce and scattered. Most of the studies are focusing on the performance at location with DNI higher than 2100 kWh/m2/year. Therefore, this paper presents the performance of PD in tropical environment of Malaysia and four other locations such as; Thailand, Korea, Australia and United States of America (USA). System Advisor Model (SAM) was used to analyze the performance of PD for the selection countries. The simulation result shows that the annual energy production for George Town in Malaysia is 21,845 kWh, and shows areas of high DNI have high power output such as Pheonix, USA 184,189kWh; Canberra, Australia 121,536 kWh; Bangkok, Thailand is 48,736 kWh and Inch’on, Korea 45,450 kWh.

“…Although they are various PV models available, we found that there is limited literature on the modelling of concentrating PV (CPV) to characterise the output of the CPV design. Kaddour and Benyocef [40] simulated and modelled a parabolic concentrator, however, their work only showed the effect of meteorological parameters (i.e., direct solar isolation, ambient temperature, air density, sun elevation angel and the wind speed) on the energy output. Benrhouma et al [41] used MATLAB to compare the performance of a CPV module with and without cooling system.…”

Mathematical Modelling of a Static Concentrating Photovoltaic: Simulation and Experimental Validation

For the past twenty years, there has been increasing interest and investment in solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. One particular area of interest is the development of concentrating PV (CPV), especially for use in building integration. Many CPV designs have been developed and investigated. This paper aims at producing a mathematical modelling using MATLAB programme to predict the current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics of a static CPV. The MATLAB programme could also simulate the angular response of the CPV designs-which has never been explored in the previous literature. In this paper, a CPV known as the rotationally asymmetrical dielectric totally internally reflecting concentrator (RADTIRC) was analysed. A specific RADTIRC design that has an acceptance angle of ±40° was investigated in this paper. A mathematical modelling was used to simulate the angular characteristics of the RADTIRC from −50° to 50° with an increment 5°. For any CPV, we propose that the value of opto-electronic gain, Copto-e needs to be included in the mathematical model, which were obtained from experiments. The range of incident angle (±50°) was selected to demonstrate that the RADTIRC is capable of capturing the sun rays within its acceptance angle of ±40°. In each simulation, the I-V and P-V characteristics were produced, and the short circuit current (Isc), the open-circuit voltage (Voc), the maximum power (Pmax), the fill factor (FF) and the opto-electronic gain (Copto-e) were determined and recorded. The results from the simulations were validated via experiments. It was found that the simulation model is able to predict the I-V and P-V characteristics of the RADTIRC as well as its angular response, with the highest error recorded for the Isc, Voc, Pmax, FF and Copto-e was 2.1229%, 5.3913%, 9.9681%, 4.4231% and 0.0000% respectively when compared with the experiment.
