Abstract

Abstract High growth of human population and dynamic socio-economic development have contributed to mounting demand for electric energy. Currently, electric energy is mainly generated from mined and combusted fossil fuels and by the nuclear power plants. The current geopolitical crisis forces mankind to reflect upon the search for alternative energy sources. In this paper analyses of the potential solar radiation volume for 12 months and annual total have been made and visualized on the maps. Additionally, the energy volume gained by the photovoltaic systems in a 12-month period and the annual total as well as underutilised solar radiation energy were calculated. It was found that the tested sites had a solar potential in the range from 113 kWh·m−2 to 1314 kWh·m−2. For process reasons, only 18 to 203 kWh·m−2 could be converted into electric energy, which accounts approximately for 1/5 of the total radiation. The results can be useful to show the best investment site for commercial plants and households in the mountainous area. Surplus energy output should be stored or sold to the power grid. Moreover, the energy source from photovoltaic panels in these areas is only one of the options for green energy generation.
受保护山脉包围的光伏电池板的空间太阳能潜力
摘要人口的高速增长和充满活力的社会经济发展促使对电能的需求不断增加。目前,电能主要来自开采和燃烧的化石燃料以及核电站。当前的地缘政治危机迫使人类反思寻找替代能源的问题。本文对12个月的潜在太阳辐射量和年总辐射量进行了分析,并在地图上进行了可视化。此外,还计算了光伏系统在12个月内获得的电量、年度总量以及未充分利用的太阳辐射能。研究发现,测试地点的太阳能电势在113千瓦时·m−2至1314千瓦时·米−2之间。由于工艺原因,只有18至203 kWh·m−2可以转换为电能,约占总辐射的1/5。研究结果可用于显示山区商业工厂和家庭的最佳投资地点。剩余的能源输出应储存或出售给电网。此外,这些地区的光伏电池板能源只是绿色能源发电的选择之一。
