Abstract
A generalized model for predicting the relative efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels responsive to weather dynamics is developed in this article. The mathematical framework is derived using correlation analysis of experimental testbed measurements. The testbed included a mono and a custom-built bifacial panel with single-axis tracking. The bifacial panel was made using two mono-facials with a gap between the front and back surfaces, making the panel highly sensitive to the dynamics of weather variations. The proposed bifacial as well as commercial PVs are modeled based on the developed mathematical framework. PV systems with the proposed and commercial panels are investigated. Simulation results show that the developed model accurately portrays the values achieved in the experimental testbed for the proposed panel. Performance study of the proposed panel-based PV system produced the highest energy with space consideration in contrast to commercial panels while being economically effective.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics is a peer-reviewed, archival publication reporting original and significant research results that advance the field of photovoltaics (PV). The PV field is diverse in its science base ranging from semiconductor and PV device physics to optics and the materials sciences. The journal publishes articles that connect this science base to PV science and technology. The intent is to publish original research results that are of primary interest to the photovoltaic specialist. The scope of the IEEE J. Photovoltaics incorporates: fundamentals and new concepts of PV conversion, including those based on nanostructured materials, low-dimensional physics, multiple charge generation, up/down converters, thermophotovoltaics, hot-carrier effects, plasmonics, metamorphic materials, luminescent concentrators, and rectennas; Si-based PV, including new cell designs, crystalline and non-crystalline Si, passivation, characterization and Si crystal growth; polycrystalline, amorphous and crystalline thin-film solar cell materials, including PV structures and solar cells based on II-VI, chalcopyrite, Si and other thin film absorbers; III-V PV materials, heterostructures, multijunction devices and concentrator PV; optics for light trapping, reflection control and concentration; organic PV including polymer, hybrid and dye sensitized solar cells; space PV including cell materials and PV devices, defects and reliability, environmental effects and protective materials; PV modeling and characterization methods; and other aspects of PV, including modules, power conditioning, inverters, balance-of-systems components, monitoring, analyses and simulations, and supporting PV module standards and measurements. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are also published and occasionally special issues are published to treat particular areas in more depth and breadth.
