“…Neste caso, com relação aos dispositivos de rastreamento solar, Hammoumi, et al (2022) citam ser uma das melhores maneiras de aumentar a produção de energia elétrica, com um ganho em eficiência energética de 10% a 50% em relação aos sistemas solares fotovoltaicos tradicionais (base fixa). No entanto, esse ganho de eficiência energética depende, principalmente, da localização (latitude) e das condições climáticas da região em que se deseja realizar a instalação.…”

A energia solar é uma fonte de eletricidade renovavél que pode ser captada e convertidas por meio de painéis solares, se tornando uma interessante opção para abastecer locais geograficamente isolados. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma análise de mercado de sistemas solares fotovoltaicos para uso residencial e comercial, assim como levantar informações sobre a montagem tradicional (fixa) e móvel (rastreamento solar), com ênfase na melhor eficiência energética para uso em áreas rurais remotas no Brasil. Neste sentido, foi analisado o custo estimado e real para a montagem tradicional dos sistemas solares fotovoltaicos dos últimos 10 anos, assim como foi feita uma análise de implantação da montagem móvel em relação ao mercado atual através das metodologias PEST e SWOT. Foi apontado que um sistema solar fotovoltaico móvel com rastreamento solar tende a gerar mais eletricidade que um de montagem fixa, no entanto, seu custo é maior devido aos dispositivos elétricos necessários para realizar a movimentação. Neste caso, informações mais detalhadas sobre custos não foram encontradas na literatura. Foi apontado também que atualmente a implantação de um sistema solar fotovoltaico (montagem fixa) está em torno de R$ 4,88/Wp para uso residencial e R$ 3,88/Wp para uso comercial, com uma tendência de redução ao longo dos anos. Para futuros estudos propõem-se o levantamento de custos para a implantação de sistemas solares fotovoltaicos com rastreadores solares de eixo único e de duplo-eixo, no intuito de compreender se a melhor eficiência energética gerada é uma vantagem em relação a seu custo de montagem.

The awareness of the energy and climate crisis has accelerated the development of renewable energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants harvest clean solar energy and convert it to electricity, which will be one of the most promising alternatives to the power industry in the context of a low-carbon society. Due to its low power density, the traditional deployment of PV systems on land or inland rivers requires much space. Therefore, industries are increasingly interested in expanding offshore Floating PhotoVoltaics (FPV) to oceans, where FPV has less influence on the marine environment and does not occupy precious space for land resources and human activities. This study performs a hydrodynamics-based structural response analysis for a novel FPV system in OpenFOAM. The wave-proof FPV platform is newly designed for this work, which integrated breakwater technologies to sustain the system’s survivability in harsh ocean-wave environments. Firstly, the rational mooring types for FPVs installed close to the island are studied considering seabed effects. Subsequently, extensive parametric studies have been conducted to determine a rational design strategy for the mitigation of wave impact. Several potential effects of the proposed platforms on the hydrodynamics in a coastal sea are evaluated for the first time.

“…Considering the aforementioned studies in the literature. Figure 1 provides an overview of the techniques for enhancing the energy output of solar panels and their direct and indirect impacts on partial shadowing and dust buildup on the PV panel surface [43]. Ultimately, the framework aims to achieve an optimum solar panel arrangement for increased energy production under partial shade or in a dusty environment.…”

The irradiation intensity is the primary catalyst for energy production in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nevertheless, it alleviates partial shading (PS) by inhibiting power production, primarily in habitable metropolitan areas, owing to surrounding objects or high soiling rates, particularly in dry and semi-arid climates. Hence, the PV module's location, orientation, and tilt angle significantly affect its performance and shorten its durability. Thus, this study undertakes a benchmark analysis of the two distinct panel positions' performance using PSIM and MATLAB software simulations and an actual practical test. A visual inspection of a solar power plant in Morocco's Green Energy Park is the origin of the survey concept; it observes that the soil density consistently covers certain PV panel spots. In this context, the solar energy data of an intelligent home deployed in the earlier-mentioned research platform has been deployed to emulate the performance of future buildings challenged with various obstacles. Therefore, the roof-mounted PV system satisfied the home's energy demands. In the first scenario, the PV module is in portrait mode. In the second case, they are in landscape orientation. The findings of this investigation demonstrate that standard PV panels produce more power when arranged in a landscape configuration than in a portrait configuration, exhibiting a discrepancy of up to 1010 Wh for a modest PV system. Finally, this study suggests appropriate orientation and design recommendations for standard and advanced solar modules, mainly those deployed in arid and heavily populated urban regions featuring severe shading constraints.
