The impact of long range Saharan dust transport, arising from one event in February and other March 2017, on the performance photovoltaic flat panels is reported as a case study soiling. Through satellite images, coming north Africa was detected, while using Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory, specific origin locations were found. Dust accumulated glass coupons deployed Southern Portugal, Évora Alter do Chão, analysed by Scanning Electron Microscopy Energy Dispersive...
This paper is on the five-parameter modeling for photovoltaic systems. Normally, technical information panels too restricted to identify five parameters. So, an undemanding heuristic method adopted in this paper, requiring only open circuit, maximum power point and short circuit conditions. The I-V P-V curves a series connected monocrystalline system obtained from parameters identification using validated by comparison with experimental curves. Also, simulation partial shading presented...
By the addition of suitable reflectors concentration a lens can be increased to thermodynamic limit, which is equivalent an f-number one half. Such lens-mirror combinations are useful whenever rather than image formation important, for example, in radiation detectors and solar energy collectors. The design with maximal described. To approximation that has sharp focal points at off-axis incidence, solution reflector readily found compound hyperbolic. With proper choice hyperbolic reduces...
Soiling is a problem for solar energy harvesting technologies, such as in photovoltaic modules technologies. This paper describes not only one complete year of Ratioindex and rates measured rural environment Southern Europe, but also focuses on the seasonal variation type soiling, mainly spring summer. The Ratio index calculated based maximum power output short circuit current two (PV) panels, along with Scanning Electron Microscopy Energy Dispersive X-Ray glass samples to provide visual...
In the residential sector, energy micro-generation and its intelligent management have been creating novel market models, considering new concepts of usage distribution, in which prosumer has an active role generation self-consumption. The configuration a solar photovoltaic system integrating storage Portugal is yet unclear technical, energetic economic point view. jointly with battery operation great influence configuration's profitability value. present work evaluates different...
