Abstract

Turkiye is a country rich in renewable energy resources, one of which is its tremendous potential, especially in solar energy. Investments in photovoltaic systems are increasing day by day in order to evaluate this potential The simulations of these systems, which will be established while making investment plans, are very important in terms of investment return times. In this study, information and data were obtained from a working rooftop photovoltaic system and simulations were carried out using PVsyst and system advisor model (SAM) software. The simulation data was compared with the power plant's electricity generation data using statistical analysis methods of deviation, Root Mean Square Error (RMSD), and Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). When all these analysis methods were evaluated, it was seen that the error and deviation values of the SAM software were lower on an annual basis. On the other hand, it has been determined that the error and deviation values of the PVsyst software are lower on a monthly basis.

Bir Çatı Üstü Fotovoltaik Sistem için SAM ve PVsyst Simülasyonlarının Karşılaştırmalı Analizi

Abstract

Türkiye, yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları açısından zengin bir ülkedir ve bunlardan biri de özellikle güneş enerjisi olmak üzere muazzam potansiyelidir. Bu potansiyeli değerlendirmek adına fotovoltaik sistemlere yapılan yatırımlar her geçen gün artmaktadır. Yatırım planları yapılırken kurulacak bu sistemlerin simülasyonları yatırımın geri dönüş süreleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, çalışan bir çatı fotovoltaik sisteminden bilgi ve veriler elde edilmiş ve PVsyst ve sistem danışman modeli (SAM) yazılımı kullanılarak simülasyonlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Simülasyon verileri, istatistiksel sapma, Kök Ortalama Kare Hata (RMSD) ve Ortalama Mutlak Sapma (MAD) analiz yöntemleri kullanılarak santralin elektrik üretim verileriyle karşılaştırıldı. Tüm bu analiz yöntemleri değerlendirildiğinde SAM yazılımının hata ve sapma değerlerinin yıllık bazda daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan PVsyst yazılımının hata ve sapma değerlerinin aylık bazda daha düşük olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
