研究目的
Comparing the performance of dual axis bifacial PV systems installed on grass and grey concrete reflective surfaces to determine the effect of surface type on energy production.
研究成果
The study found no significant difference in energy production between the PV systems installed on grass and grey concrete surfaces. The results align with existing literature, suggesting that the type of reflective surface does not significantly affect the performance of dual axis bifacial PV systems under the tested conditions. Further research is recommended to explore the effects of lighter reflective surfaces.
研究不足
The study only compared grass and grey concrete surfaces. Further studies are recommended to include lighter surfaces (e.g., white concrete) to fully understand the impact of surface reflectivity on PV system performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study compared two dual axis bifacial PV tracker systems installed on different reflective surfaces (grass and grey concrete) at the CSIR Pretoria campus. Data on energy production was collected and analyzed over a period of 12 months.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two PV tracker systems of 11.34 KWp were selected from a total installation of 17 tracker systems at CSIR. Data was collected from these systems.
3:34 KWp were selected from a total installation of 17 tracker systems at CSIR. Data was collected from these systems.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Dual axis bifacial PV tracker systems, grass field surface, grey concrete surface.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Energy production data was collected from both PV systems over 12 months. The data was then compared to assess the impact of the reflective surface on energy production.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The collected data was analyzed to compare the energy output from the two systems. The performance ratio was calculated, and a cost-benefit analysis was considered.
