Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system converts sunlight to electricity and referred as one of promising system for production of a renewable energy resources. Tilt angle and orientation have important effect on PV output. Positioning of PV system using tilt angle and orientation, therefore, according to path of radiation of sunlight is very critical to obtain more efficient energy conversion from PV panels. In this study, determination of optimum tilt angle and orientation studied for a grid-connected hybrid wind-PV-battery system. Firstly, general calculations of PV completed using a numerical method as follow: annual solar radiation (Wh/m2), annual energy production using radiation and temperature (Wh/m2), energy production using radiation, temperature and wind speed (Wh/m2). Secondly, cost of electricity for a grid-connected wind-PV-battery hybrid systems ($/year) depending on solar radiation, weather conditions and electricity market data were obtained using numerical method. It founded that optimum tilt angle varied between 26° - 27° for first three scenario and for the last case is 9°. As for orientation, it changed from south to west for all cases. Moreover, it seems that results of this study might be a reference and preliminary study for scientist and researcher/engineers to simplify designing and evaluating PV system.

Abstract

Fotovoltaik (PV) güneş enerji sistemleri, yenilenebilir enerji sistemleri arasında güneşe en bağımlı kaynaktır ve güneş ışınımı olduğunda enerji üretmektedir. PV sistemlerin tasarım ve analizlerinde en önemli gereksinim maksimum ışınımın PV panel yüzeyine düştüğü eğim ve azimut açısıdır. Bu çalışmada farklı durumlar için PV panellerin optimum eğim ve azimut açılarının hesaplanması için matematiksel bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmadaki analizler ile optimum eğim ve azimut açılarının tespit edilmesinde; (1) eğimli yüzeydeki yıllık toplam ışınım (Wh/m2), (2) ışınım ve sıcaklığı temel alan yıllık enerji üretimi (Wh/m2), (3) ışınım, sıcaklı ve rüzgâr hızını temel alan yıllık enerji üretimi (Wh/m2), ve (4) şebekeye bağlı rüzgâr-PV-batarya-yük sisteminin yıllık toplam elektrik maliyetinin ($/yıl) güneş ışınımı, hava verileri ve elektrik piyasası verileri ile hesaplanması dikkate alınmıştır. Bu çalışmadaki farklı durumlar için sonuçlar değişkenlik göstermektedir. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlar geleneksel olarak güneye doğru olan yönlendirme durumu ile farklılık göstermektedir. Optimum eğim açısı ilk üç durum için 26° - 27° civarında iken son durum için 9° olarak elde edilmiştir. Optimum azimut açısı ise tüm durumlar için güneyden batıya doğru kaymıştır. Bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar, PV sistem tasarımı veya analizi yapacak mühendisler için faydalı olacaktır.
