研究目的
To analyze performance of a recently installed roof-mounted stand-alone solar photovoltaic system on a residential building, equipped with an internet-based online performance monitoring platform, and to establish benchmarks for performance in the region.
研究成果
The online performance monitoring platform is a potentially advantageous feature for both system integrators and users, providing a useful basis for performance comparison and prediction. The platform can also be used for routine performance monitoring and as a diagnostic tool for remotely located SPV systems. Incorporating web-cameras could further enhance the system by enabling streaming of panel images for inspection.
研究不足
The main disadvantage of the online monitoring system is that if internet connectivity is down, data recorded during that interval is not transferred to the monitoring station and is not displayed on the dashboard. Additionally, the system's performance can be affected by soiling of panel surfaces, bird-droppings, and shadowing of SPV panels.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves monitoring a 3.75 kWp stand-alone solar photovoltaic system installed on a residential building in Goa, India, using an online performance monitoring platform. Data is acquired at 10-minute intervals over one year.
2:75 kWp stand-alone solar photovoltaic system installed on a residential building in Goa, India, using an online performance monitoring platform. Data is acquired at 10-minute intervals over one year.
Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The system is located at Margoa, Goa, with PV arrays mounted on the roof facing south at a 21° inclination. Data includes energy yield from PV array, energy supplied by battery-energy storage, energy demand by connected load, and energy drawn from the main grid.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The system includes WAAREE Make PV panels, Schneider Conext MPPT 60 150 charge controller, Schneider Electric XW + 7048 E inverter, EXIDE SOLA-TUBULAR battery bank, Xantrex XW System smart controller, and ConextTM ComBox for data logging.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The system operates in stand-alone mode, with energy primarily supplied from the battery until a pre-set grid support voltage is reached, after which energy is drawn from the grid. Data is logged every 10 minutes and can be accessed remotely via the Conext Insight platform.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance is analyzed in terms of energy yield, performance ratio, and energy exchange with the battery and grid, following IEC 61427 standards.
