Piecewise linear parabolic trough collector (PLPTC) is designed and developed to concentrate solar radiation on monocrystalline silicon based photovoltaic module. A theoretical model is used to perform electrical energy and exergy analysis of low-concentration photovoltaic (LCPV) system working under actual test conditions (ATC). The exergy efficiency of LCPV system is in the range from 5.1% to 4.82% with increasing rate of input exergy rate from 30.81 W to 96.12 W, when concentration ratio changes from 1.85 to 5.17 Sun. Short-circuit current shows increasing trend with increasing input exergy rate of≈0.011 A/W. Power conversion efficiency decreases from 7.07 to 5.66%, and open-circuit voltage decreases from 9.86 to 8.24 V with temperature coefficient of voltage≈-0.021 V/K under ATC. The results confirm that the commercially available silicon solar PV module performs satisfactorily under low concentration.

Pv Module

A Solar panel is rated such that it can yield optimum output under Standard Testing Conditions (STC). But due to different environmental factors the efficiency of the panel is reduced gradually after installation. Accumulation of dust on solar PV panel is one such natural phenomenon. When dust accumulates on the PV panel, the temperature of the cells increases which subsequently decreases the open circuit voltage. The short circuit current is also reduced as deposition of dust causes shading on the panel surface. As a result, the output power of the module decreases. In this paper, the effect of dust on the performance of the photovoltaic module has been studied. The increase in temperature due to dust accumulation has been visualized through the thermal camera and the reduction in power has been analyzed through PSpice simulation and experimental data for the different amount of dust accumulated.

This paper discusses an attempt to compares the electrical characteristics of two solar modules of the same type and size in which one of the solar modules at the bottom is mounted a copper pipe for circulating water (as call photovoltaic thermal). The research was steered to observe water cooling effect to electrical characteristics of PV module. This system serves as a heat absorption on the bottom of the solar module. The experiment is conducted at the same time, place, and sunlight intensity conditions for both solar modules. The characteristics of short-circuit current, open circuit voltage, upper and lower temperature and the irradiation of sunlight from the two solar modules are observed. The test results show that photovoltaic thermal generate greater electrical power than solar modules not equipped with heat absorption

Dye Sensitized

The dye-sensitized solar cell performances influenced by radiant intensity and illuminated area in concentrating photovoltaic system are investigated experimentally and discussed theoretically. The results show that, under the same irradiated cells area, the short-circuit current is linearly increasing with the radiant intensity and the open-circuit voltage follows a logarithmic function of the radiant intensity. And, it is turned out that the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage are obviously enhanced by increasing the illuminated cells surface area at the same radiant intensity. However, that growth trends will decline with an increase of the illuminated area. The reason is more defects involved in the process of increasing illumination area. All results can be interpreted using an equivalent circuit of a single diode model. A good agreement can be observed from the fitting curves. It is of great significance for current photovoltaic research.

Energy And Exergy Analysis

The solar photovoltaic system generates both thermal energy and electrical energy by utilizing solar energy. In this paper an experimental attempt has made for calculating energy output as well as exergy output of solar PV panel installed at R.L.J.I.T. Bangalore. Energy and exergy analysis was performed by using first and second law of thermodynamics to evaluate energy and exergy. The framework involved in this process are ambient temperature, overall heat transfer, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, solar radiations etc. It is predicted that temperature of pv solar module has most effect on the efficiencies. By the help of water or air the heat can be removed to improve both energy and exergy efficiencies.

This paper explains the need for renewable energies for “green revival” of the economy. First, we will analyze the overall context of the double crisis. Then we will focus on “green recovery” as a solution for these two crises. Finally, we will study the example of the photovoltaic system as a source of renewable energy by presenting and comparing four types of MPPT commands such as: Perturb and Observe, Incremental Conductance, Fractional Open-Circuit Voltage (FOV) and Fractional Short-Circuit Current (FCC). The Matlab-Simulink environment will be used to analyze and interpret the simulation results of these algorithms and therefore we show the performance and limits of each algorithm.

For Photovoltaic systems designers and manufacturers, it is very important to develop suitable models to closely emulate the characteristics of PV cells, predict their behavior and evaluate their efficiency. So the main contribution of this chapter is to propose an improved and accurate method for identifying and determining the equivalent circuit elements values of photovoltaic module using only exact analytical equations and four manufacture's data reference, i.e., the open-circuit voltage (VOC), the short-circuit current (ISC), the current and the voltage at the maximum power point (IM, VM). In order to extract the five-parameter Single or Double-Diode models of photovoltaic module, the authors try initially to determine analytically all parameters according to RS (the value of the series resistance). Thus, all these parameters are calculated once RS is determined. Rapid and iterative algorithm is then designed to solve a strongly nonlinear equation in order to extract the value of RS in a precise manner and without any mathematical simplification used usually by many other authors.

AbstractThe multijunction solar cells performances study is essential for the design of the high-concentration photovoltaic. These cells can operate over a wide range of the incident radiation flux and a large temperature range. These two parameters (concentration and temperature) degrade the cell and require a cooling system. In this article, we have studied numerically the cooling temperature of InGaP/lnGaAs/Ge subcells under the concentrated illumination. For this, we have presented the performance of each subcell as a function of the temperature and concentration sunlight. The different high concentrations ratios (1, 10, 100, and 1000 sun) have been conducted according to the dish-style concentration photovoltaic system for three temperature values T = 300, 500, and 800 K. The results show that under high concentrated light intensity conversion, the performances of these three subcells (efficiency, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor) were decreased with increasing the temperature. The main objective of this study is to find the limit temperature of each subcell in order to introduce the cooling system. Thus, we can avoid the degradation of the tandem solar cell under the concentrated illumination.
