A model to evaluate the effect of shading objects on the energy yield gain of bifacial modules
摘要： Bifacial modules become popular due to the backside yield gain, which can reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of photovoltaic system dramatically; the technical development of bifacial cell and double glass module technology are also important for the explosion of bifacial market. More and more people are attracted by the energy yield gain of bifacial modules; however, only little studies focus on the effect of backside shading objects on the module and system that would influence the energy yield gain. In this paper, an optic model is developed to evaluate the effect of the shading objects. The energy loss by the shading objects is also estimated by simulation and experiment. The result shows that when the shading objects are 40 mm vertical away from the modules, the shading effect could be greatly reduced. The frame height of bifacial modules should be smaller to reduce the shading effect by frames. It is better to remove the surface C of the frames to optimize the energy yield ability of bifacial modules.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Improvements to PVWatts for Fixed and One-Axis Tracking Systems
摘要： This work presents improvements to the widely used NREL PVWatts photovoltaic system energy model to improve modeling accuracy for typical ?xed and one axis system designs. The aim is to calculate losses in the PV system assuming typical modern system design practices, while maintaining simplicity by keeping the required set of input parameters small. These improvements allow users to more credibly and quickly evaluate competing system designs in early stage feasibility. Common submodels for module cover, spectral, snow, tracker, transformer, plant controller, and self-shading losses, in addition to a bifacial gain option, are incorporated into the PVWatts model, and are shown to improve PVWatts’ system performance prediction capabilities without major impact to ease of use. We anticipate including these improvements in a future release of NREL’s open source PVWatts code, and some of the features may become available in the System Advisor Model (SAM) desktop software as well as the popular PVWatts web application.
