The impacts of climate change on photovoltaic (PV) output in the fifteen countries Economic Community West African States (ECOWAS) was analyzed this paper. Using a set eight models, trends solar radiation and temperature between 2006–2100 were examined. Assuming lifetime 40 years, future changes energy for tilted plane receptor compared to 2006–2015 computed whole region. results show that irradiation are negative except Irish Centre High-End Computing model which predicts positive trend...
This manuscript is about a theoretical modelling of conversion efficiency improvement typical polycrystalline Si solar cell in 1D assumptions. The brought by the increase collection minority carriers charge excess. consequence influence an electric field provided use open circuit photovoltage another silicon cell. We assume that it integrated two cells to system. first provides which connected aluminum planar armatures creating capacitor. second placed under uniform created between...
This paper deals with the climatology of aerosols in West Africa based on satellite and situ measurements between 2001 2016 covers four sites Sahelian zone. There are indeed Banizoumbou (13.541°N, 02.665°E), Cinzana (13.278°N, 05.934°W), Dakar (14.394°N, 16.959°W) Ouagadougou (12.20°N, 1.40°W) located respectively Niger, Mali, Senegal Burkina Faso. Thus, an intercomparison observations shows a good correlation MODIS AERONET coefficient R = 0.86 at Cinzana, 0.85 Banizounbou, 0.84 low 0.66...
This work focuses on analysis of climate change effects Photovoltaic (PV) power output in the Eastern and Northeastern Burundi. Monthly temperature data from meteorological stations solar irradiance provided by SoDa database were considered as observed dataset for historical period 1981-2010. Projection eight Regional Climate Models CORDEX Africa used over near future 2021-2050. The analyzed these changes assessed to show their impacts PV potential. results indicated increasing trends about...
In this work, we proceed to an optical and microphysical analysis of the observations reversed by MODIS, SeaWiFS, MISR OMI sensors with aim proposing best-adapted airborne sensor for better monitoring aerosols in Burkina Faso. To end, a comparison AOD between satellite situ measurements at Ouagadougou site reveals underestimation AERONET except which overestimates them. Also, inter-comparison done based on linear regression line representation shows correlation aerosol models incorporated...
The present work analyzes the energy production of three 50kWp photovoltaic (PV) power plants which are placed in climate zones. Sudano-Sahelian and Sudanian climates have lower average temperatures than Sahelian environment. climate, next zone, finally region, best performance for PV plants. silicon cells may suffer due to temperature. climatic zone experiences its highest levels output between April October longer sunshine hours a reduction sand dust. In is at peak May October. generation...
In this research paper, a computational program called MCMRDF-3D, is developed and validated by comparison with reference software. MCMRDF-3D formulated on Multi-Ray Monte Carlo Method for the determination of distribution solar irradiation along receiver any solar- concentrating system that withstand translational or rotational symmetries. This code incorporate an advantageous approach consist in estimating overall large scale systems basis consistent sample, then saving computation time,...
The study presented in this paper analyzes the role that photovoltaic energy can play enhancing self-sufficiency each of fifteen Economic Community West African States (ECOWAS) countries. For purpose, satellite CM-SAF database, Global Land Cover data and land slope computed from Digital Elevation Model data, was used to compute area suitable lands, potential energy, coefficient variation solar irradiation. results show 31.76% total ECOWAS country has shelter system generators. Except...
