Abstract

Performance, quality and reliability of technology are becoming more and more important for the emerging photovoltaic markets worldwide. In this experiment the monitoring of climatic factors like, solar radiation, Ambient Temperature, Module Temperature, Relative Humidity and Wind Speed was carried out on daily basis for six months, between 7:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. Data was measured with SCADA system. This analysis was carried out by monitoring the fluctuation in power output of the system with climatic factors. From the results, there is direct proportionality between the power output of the system and the climatic factors. The correlation between ambient air temperature, PV module temperature and CUF is strongly positive. The other climatic factor like wind speed is does not have much significant effect on CUF. The Relative humidity is negatively correlated with CUF. The correlation between solar radiation and the CUF is strongly positive.

Highlights

  • The sun provides a plentiful resource for generating clean and sustainable electricity without global warming emissions or toxic pollution

  • A device that converts solar energy into electricity is known as solar cell[1]

  • They produce electricity directly when sunlight penetrate on semiconductor is generate pairs of electrons (-) and protons (+) in the PV cells through photovoltaic effect

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The sun provides a plentiful resource for generating clean and sustainable electricity without global warming emissions or toxic pollution. A PV cell is typically made from crystalline silicon of 12 centimeters in diameter and 0.25 millimeters thickness In full sunlight, it generates 4 amperes of (DC) direct current at 0.5 volts or 2 watts of electrical power[3]. Solar cells cannot generate electricity at a constant rate and the power delivered at a certain instant is still very much a function of weather factors[4]. Temperature, relative humidity and wind speed are factors that affect the output performance of solar photovoltaic system[5]. The functioning of PV modules at any time depends on various ambient variables including majorly temperature, humidity, light intensity, wind velocity, and other factors[12]. The aim of present study is to determine the temporal variation of capacity utilization factor (CUF) of PV Based Solar Power Plant with Respect to Climatic Condition
