IoT Based Framework: Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of Dust Impact on Solar Panels
摘要： The solar photovoltaic performance is governed by manifold parameters viz. temperature, irradiance, dust on solar module, photoactive material, panel orientation. Among these dust is a critical impediment, as its accumulation on panel surface degrades its productivity; while frequent cleaning sessions affect module's life and result into PV destruction. Accordingly, the need to know dust thickness responsible for deteriorating panel's capability and adequate cleaning time of solar panels to produce optimum yields is requisite. This paper aims to discern a right cleaning time, owing to a particular dust thickness so as to conserve the panel efficiency using internet of things (IoT). The mathematical correlations of PV efficiency and current with thickness of accumulated dust are derived using linear regression. Further, these equations are associated with an IoT-based platform which remotely monitors and records PV output current; thereafter dust thickness corresponding to a significant current reduction is estimated. For this, experimental data of 46 inverters with total 114,819.30 kWh productions in a month with an average of 4416.13 kWh/day is accessed and the results pertaining to mathematical analysis exhibit a decline in current by 1 A with 5.51 × 10^{-3} mm thickness of dust.

[IEEE 2018 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA) - Paris, France (2018.10.14-2018.10.17)] 2018 7th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA) - Calculation of Degradation Rates of Poly Crystalline Si and CIGS PV Module using Outdoor Linear Interpolation Method
摘要： We propose the method to calculate the degradation rate of PV modules by outdoor linear interpolation method (LIM). Since the reference I-V curves which are based on measured I-V curves and used to LIM are created in each season, transitions of expected I-V curves indicate how PV modules degrade. The degradation rates of not only the maximum power but also the other parameters such as short circuit current and open circuit voltage can be calculated from the expected I-V curves. In this paper, the outdoor degradation rates of poly crystalline Si and CIGS were calculated. As a result, in poly crystalline Si case, the degradation rate of maximum power was calculated as -0.4 %/year due to short circuit current reduction. In CIGS case, although the initial power generation performance was better than the datasheet value, the annual degradation rate of the maximum power was calculated as -2.1 %/year. The reason of maximum power reduction was the reduction of both short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage.

Mechanisms of adhesion degradation at the photovoltiac module's cell metallization-encapsulant interface
摘要： Adhesion measurements and chemical characterization of the encapsulant/silver metallization interface of a photovoltaic (PV) module through temperature, humidity, and voltage bias exposures were conducted. Results demonstrate two independent degradation mechanisms: (a) with voltage bias, the ionic conduction of Na+ ions through the encapsulant results in the formation of sodium silicate at the silver metallization surface, thereby weakening that interface and (b) with moisture ingress, dissociation of the silane bonding to silver in the silver oxide similarly weakens this interface resulting in significantly lower debond energies.

Solar hydrogen production via alkaline water electrolysis
摘要： Electricity generation via direct conversion of solar energy with zero carbon dioxide emission is essential from the aspect of energy supply security as well as from the aspect of environmental protection. Therefore, this paper presents a system for hydrogen production via water electrolysis using a 960 Wp solar power plant. The results obtained from the monitoring of photovoltaic modules mounted in pairs on a fixed, a single-axis and a dual-axis solar tracker were examined to determine if there is a possibility to couple them with an electrolyzer. Energy performance of each photovoltaic system was recorded and analyzed during a period of one year, and the data were monitored on an online software service. Estimated parameters, such as monthly solar irradiance, solar electricity production, optimal angle, monthly ambient temperature, and capacity factor were compared to the observed data. In order to get energy efficiency as high as possible, a novel alkaline electrolyzer of bipolar design was constructed. Its design and operating UI characteristic are described. The operating UI characteristics of photovoltaic modules were tuned to the electrolyzer operating UI characteristic to maximize production. The calculated hydrogen rate of production was 1.138 g per hour. During the study the system produced 1.234 MWh of energy, with calculated of 1.31 MWh, which could power 122 houses, and has offset 906 kg of carbon or an equivalent of 23 trees.

Effective solar power harnessing using a few novel solar tree designs and their performance assessment
摘要： Solar irradiance being considered as one of the most important alternative sources of energy can be harnessed in the form of electrical power using photovoltaic panels erected under the sun. Optimum conversion of power from solar panels can be obtained by using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), which involves continuously adjusting the angle of panels according to the change in the angle of falling irradiance. These trackers, however, use some amount of power for operation of MPPT equipment. Various techniques for arranging the solar panels in three dimensions have been suggested for optimizing the output power from them. The inspiration behind arranging the panels are often drawn from the natural trees where the branches and the leaves follow a particular pattern called phyllotaxy which is directly analogous to the Fibonacci number and Golden ratio. In this research work, the power output from two solar tree models based on 3/8 and 2/5 phyllotaxy pattern and solar conventional panel compared under similar irradiance conditions. There are so many phyllotaxy patterns like 1/3, 2/5, 3/8, etc. When the solar panels aligned in different phyllotaxies, then the orientation direction of solar panels are distinct. Each solar panel connected in solar trees is in a different direction, so that they received the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day as compared to conventional panels which is oriented unidirectional.

Performance enhancement of copper indium diselenide photovoltaic module using inorganic phase change material
摘要： The work presents the method to increase the electrical efficiency and power output of photovoltaic (PV) panel with the use of phase change material (PCM). CaCl2.6H2O–Fe3Cl2.6H2O eutectic has a suitable melting point and high latent heat for temperature regulation of PV panel. The work has been focused on the experimental setup and simulation heat extraction from the PV panel with the use of ANSYS software. A modification of copper indium diselenide (CIS) PV module from Solar Frontier (SF170-S) was made with a eutectic mixture (70:30) of calcium chloride hexahydrate (70%) and iron (III) chloride hexahydrate phase change material. The cell temperature of the PV panel with and without PCM was measured and compared for two typical days. The simulation of the PV-PCM systems comprising both PV panels was performed using ANSYS (fluent) software, followed by the comparison of the results actual experimental data. The experimental results show that the maximum temperature difference on the surface of PV panel without PCM was 9°C higher than that on the panel with PCM in a period of 1 day. Referring to experimental results, the calculation of the maximum and average increase of power gain was made for PV-PCM panel. Final results show that the electricity production of PV-PCM panel was higher for 96.55 Whr in a particular day of experimentation.

Shading, Dusting and Incorrect Positioning of Photovoltaic Modules as Important Factors in Performance Reduction
摘要： The amount of solar radiation reaching the front cover of a photovoltaic module is crucial for its performance. A number of factors must be taken into account at the design stage of the solar installation, which will ensure maximum utilization of the potential arising from the location. During the operation of a photovoltaic installation, it is necessary to limit the shading of the modules caused by both dust and shadowing by trees or other objects. The article presents an analysis of the impact of the radiation reaching the surface of the radiation module on the e?ciency obtained. Each of the analyzed aspects is important for obtaining the greatest amount of energy in speci?c geographical conditions. Modules contaminated by settling dust will be less e?cient than those without deposits. The results of experimental studies of this e?ect are presented, depending on the amount of impurities, including their origins and morphologies. In practice, it is impossible to completely eliminate shadowing caused by trees, uneven terrain, other buildings, chimneys, or satellite dishes, and so on, which limits the energy of solar radiation reaching the modules. An analysis of partial shading for the generated power was also carried out. An important way for maximizing the incoming radiation is the correct positioning of the modules relative to the sun. It is considered optimal to position the modules relative to the light source, that is, the sun, so that the rays fall perpendicular to the surfaces of the modules. Any deviation in the direction of the rays results in a loss in the form of a decrease in the available power of the module. The most bene?cial option would be to use sun-tracking systems, but they represent an additional investment cost, and their installations require additional space and maintenance. Therefore, the principle was adopted that stationary systems should be oriented to the south, using the optimal angle of inclination of the module surface appropriate for the location. This article presents the dependence of the decrease in obtained power on the angle of deviation from the optimal one.

A new approach for photovoltaic module cooling technique evaluation and comparison using the temperature dependent photovoltaic power ratio
摘要： Many photovoltaic module cooling techniques are available to reduce the solar cell temperature, resulting in enhanced e?ciency. Although the power of the photovoltaic module is usually reported as a measure for the performance of the cooling technique, the performance assessment and comparison among di?erent coolers become di?cult if di?erent photovoltaic module’s reference power is being utilized. The existing method requires calculations to be done repeatedly to obtain the photovoltaic module’s power, for any given value of the reference power. In order to compare the performance of the coolers, the use of the same reference power is needed, resulting in a lengthy process. Hence, a new assessment method is proposed, based on the temperature dependent photovoltaic module’s power ratio that is de?ned and derived. The new method identi?es the relevant parameters that are essential for measuring the performance of the cooler such as the power of a photovoltaic module with a cooler and the reference power at photovoltaic module’s standard test conditions. The outcome is that the calculation of the unknown power for di?erent reference power can be instantly obtained and the performance comparison among di?erent coolers become simple without going through the lengthy process as it is in the case of the existing method. It is shown that the proposed method has the same results as the existing method which is experimentally validated. This is evidence to support the new method which may have potential to be applied by photovoltaic module cooling techniques designers.
