Location specific weighted conversion efficiency coefficients for solar photovoltaic inverter using R

Abstract

Globally solar photovoltaic power generation business is increasing rapidly as it is a clean and green method for generating power. Solar photovoltaic inverter is main component of any solar photovoltaic power plant. Generated power and revenue is directly dependents upon the conversion ratio of DC to AC. whereas conversion ratio/efficiency further depends upon DC power level/Loading or solar irradiation and ambient temperature, which is different for all location. This paper deals with identifying new weighted coefficients for specific location for conversion efficiency calculation using R-language based model. Which will help in selecting suitable solar photovoltaic inverter leading to high annual generation and revenue.
