Modeling of Photovoltaic Panel and Examining Effects of Temperature in Matlab/Simulink
Abstract
This study proposes general and specific modeling and simulation for Lorentz LA30-12S photovoltaic panel. This panel has monocrystalline cell technology. The panel power parameters are examined under observing different panel temperatures. It is created a special function for this system by Matlab/Simulink programmer. Also, the different solar radiation values are taken into account. The model for the proposed range of irradiance and temperature as model inputs, with the corresponding values of voltages, currents, and power as outputs is presented. Simulation results are compared by doing power calculations. The simulation results show that a photovoltaic panel output power reduces as module temperature increases. This situation is showed with Matlab/Simulink graphics.

In this paper, the thermal effects of solar panels are investigated experimentally and computationally on the efficiency of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) in laminar and turbulent flows. At first, the impact of temperature on output power and efficiency of an eFlex 30 Wp solar panel is studied. Then, the surface temperature and output voltage of two different types of solar panels, a flexible and a solid panel, are measured under a heat lamp. The heat lamp provides the radiation and raises the temperature of the solar panels. A thermal camera and laser thermometer are used to measure the surface temperature of the solar panels. Considering a tilt-rotor UAV as a case study, an energy balance is modeled for the wing of UAV, which is assumed as a flat plate. Applying the Blasius boundary layer for laminar flow and 1/5 power law for turbulent flow, it is shown that there is skin friction drag changes on the top surface of the solar panel due to its dark blue color. In order to validate the results of the proposed model, a thermal-fluid study is carried out on the NACA 2412 airfoil through COMSOL to see whether changing the surface temperature on the solar panel relates to skin drag reduction. The results indicate that an increase in the surface temperature of the solar panel will decrease the output power and efficiency to a maximum of 8%; while this increase in temperature reduces drag by up to 10% in laminar flow. This research shows that despite the reduction of efficiency and generated power by solar panels with increasing the surface temperature on top of a UAV, the aerodynamic efficiency can be improved with drag reduction in laminar flow.

This paper presents the influence of physical and environmental parameters on the one of the major renewable energy source PV cell/Array and its mathematical modeling using MATLAB/Simulink which can work same as the actual PV module available in Simulink/ MATLAB. The PV Module can be converted to PV array just by considering either in series or in parallel configuration to enhance the power generation which can satisfy consumer load which is not possible by a single PV module. This can facilitate the dynamics of PV power system to be easily simulated, analyzed, and optimized. The mathematical modeling of PV module/Array in electrical system is required for design consideration, as PV Source generates the electricity from the solar irradiations which is unpredictable and sudden changes in weather conditions can be considered in the mathematical model to analyze the effects of random natural environmental parameters on PV source. Generalized PV array can be analyzed easily for a maximum power point so that the effect of radiation and temperature can be reduced and performance can be optimized in terms of maximum power and current using mathematical modeling.

Photovoltaic (PV) cells are semiconductor materials that convert sunlight coming on their surfaces directly into electrical energy. Solar panels can be converted into electrical energy with efficiency between 5% and 20% depending on the structure of the solar cells. There are many factors which affect the PV cells' generation of electrical energy. These factors are such as efficiency of the solar cells, sunshine duration, humidity, dust, solar radiation and temperature.

The quick exhausting of traditional energy sources and the present consistently expanding energy request with regards to ecological issues have supported concentrated research on solar energy innovation. Apprehending most extreme energy from the sun by utilizing solar PV technology is impenetrable. A few features that influence the solar energy yield of this technology comprise the material of the photovoltaic, solar irradiances topographical area, the orientation of the panel, the angle of sun and surrounding climate. This present work reviews the ideologies and contrivances of solar PV tracking systems to decide the greatest solar panel tilt-angle, both isotopic and ant isotopic solar models and uses of numerous procedures for outlining solar panel tilt- angle by means of dissimilar optimization techniques. The work displays that sun-tracking systems are quite expensive than the opposing fixed mounted variety. This is mostly due to having motor-powered and moving portions. More also, having all these moving and mechanical parts means that there will be some amount of regular inspection, adjustments or even replacements required which leads way to another disadvantage. For greatest energy harvest, the optimum tilt angle for solar PV systems must be resolved definitely for every territory as it is basic for most extreme power generation by the system.

This paper discusses the potential for photovoltaic systems to compensate the grid harmonics pollution by using the instantaneous power method. The objective is to develop an optimal algorithm of the control allowing both the active power transfer to the electrical grid and an optimal compensation of the harmonic pollution resulting from unbalanced non-linear loads as well as the compensation of the reactive energy involved. The studied system includes a photovoltaic generator (PV), a DC-DC converter that steps up the PV output to the DC link voltage level with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control and an inverter that links the system to the grid with a variety of non-linear loads. This method consists in extracting the AC components of the active and reactive instantaneous powers which are related to the harmonics and to optimize the algorithm of the inverter control in order to compensate the disturbing currents caused by these powers. The study was realized according to different regimes that are related to both: the harmonic rate caused by the non-linear charges and the level of solar power received. The obtained results show the benefits of such optimization of the active filter compensation method, in order to improve the quality of the energy (THD ≤2.02%), while limiting the repercussions of the filter on the photovoltaic station and by automatically adapting to the variation of the solar irradiation and the unbalanced load without risk of resonance with the impedance of the grid that can be caused by the passives filters.

This research aims to improve thermal performance and compare the performance of two common crystalline PV panel types (Mono and poly). Modules with a back-cooling system were designed and numerically analyzed with SolidWorks and ANSYS-Fluent-2021-R2 for the simulation under Baghdad weather at noon.

Solar panels have a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic, with a distinct maximum power point (MPP), which depends on the environmental factors, such as temperature and irradiation. In order to continuously harvest maximum power from the solar panels, they have to operate at their MPP despite the inevitable changes in the environment. This is why the controllers of all solar power electronic converters employ some method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). This paper presents a comparative study between two most popular algorithms techniques which are incremental conductance (INC) and perturb and observe (P&O) in order to optimize the efficiency of the solar generator. The MPPT techniques will be compared, by using Matlab tool Simulink.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new method of photovoltaic (PV) panel cooling by direct heat exchange between the panel and the coolant without any mediator. This experimental study evaluates the cooling efficiency of a novel system using a direct water-cooling technique for the backside surface of the PV panel. Methods: The system was designed through the preparation of a coolant channel by closing the backside of the PV panel. The control system is the fundamental part of the system that allows water to flow through the channel or to be stored in the channel based on the standard conditions established by the researchers. The control system also ensures a good inlet water cooling temperature to achieve promising heat exchange between the PV panel and water. Results: The results of the present study were compared with those of a non-cooled PV panel from different aspects: the impact degree of environmental factors on each module, the operating temperatures, and the electrical performance. The maximum average temperature of the photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) module and PV panel was 51.8˚C and 59.4˚C at 12pm, respectively. Power output measurement was conducted for 10 days from 3rd to 13th October 2020. The maximum output power for the PV-T module was 68.9W and 63.9W for non-cooling PV panel respectively for the latitude of Zarqa, Jordan (32.0608°N, 36.0942°E). Meanwhile, the maximum efficiency percentage of the PV-T module and PV panel was 13.5% at 9am and 12.5% at 11am, respectively. Conclusion: The overall results showed higher electrical performance of the new PV-T module system versus the non-cooling PV panel system.

Due to the temperature, solar radiation, and load impedance dependence of a photovoltaic (PV) system's output characteristic, the maximum power point is still not steady. Each situation has a limit on the amount of MPP that a photovoltaic module may generate. As a result, an MPP tracking technique is essential to ensure that the solar panel gets the most significant amount of energy possible. The article compares two MPPT algorithms, Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), that are used in photovoltaic (PV) systems running in ERBIL's mild climate. To assess the work, we apply the suggested PSO MPPT to a DC-DC boost converter and compare its tracker speed, precision, and performance to the P&O technique using the MATLAB application Simulink. The simulation result demonstrates that the proposed strategy is more straightforward and practical than P&O and other established methods.

Finding the equivalent circuit parameters for photovoltaic (PV) cells is crucial as they are used in the modeling and analysis of PV arrays. PV cells are made of silicon. These materials have a nonlinear characteristic. This distorts the sinusoidal waveform of the current and voltage. As a result, harmonic components are formed in the system. The PV cell is the smallest building block of the PV system and produces voltages between 0.5 V and 0.7 V. It serves as a source of current. The amount of radiation hitting the cell determines how much current it produces. In an ideal case, a diode and a parallel current source make up the equivalent circuit of the PV cell. In practice, the addition of a series and parallel resistor is made to the ideal equivalent circuit. There are many equivalent circuits in the literature on modeling the equivalent circuit of a PV cell. The PV cell single–diode model is the most used model due to its ease of analysis. In this study, the iterative method by Newton–Raphson was used to find the equivalent circuit parameters of a PV cell. This method is one of the most widely used methods for determining the roots of nonlinear equations in numerical analysis. In this study, five unknown parameters (Iph, Io, Rs, Rsh and m) of the PV cell equivalent circuit were quickly discovered with the software program prepared based on the Newton–Raphson method in MATLAB.

Renewable energy sources are becoming more and more popular, regarding the pollution and non-sustainability of common energy sources. Photovoltaic is the most direct way to convert solar radiation into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. This technology generates direct current (DC) electrical power from semiconductors when they are illuminated by photons. This paper presents a mathematical model in CFD that simulates the thermal presentation of a solar thermal photovoltaic panel equipped with circler, square and elliptic pin fin cooling module. The effect of cooling water velocity on photovoltaic panel average temperature and average cooling water temperature has been studied and the effect of cooling water velocity on photovoltaic panel average temperature and average cooling water temperature. The results show that velocity contours for water flows in circular, elliptic and square pin fin cooling module with inlet water velocities (0.0002, 0.0004 and 0.001 m/s). It is noticed that for square pin fin, the velocity between the pins is higher than the other types of pins, which leads to more circulation of water and more cooling.

This technique makes it possible to enhance the effectiveness of the photovoltaic system studied because it makes it possible to minimize the loss of power in the case of non-homogeneous irradiation conditions.

The emission of greenhouse gasses from transportation vehicles is one of the most alarming environmental threats and the emission of these gases is mounting at a distressing pace. Limited fossil fuel resources are also a threat to the automobile industry. This work aims to describe the solar-powered electric vehicle (SPEV) as the key to solving the downside of fuel and pollution. A battery is used in an electric vehicle (EV) which is charged from both external power supply and also from photovoltaic (PV) panels which absorb radiation from the sunlight and generate electrical power. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controller is employed to track the utmost power. A buck-Boost converter is utilized to amplify the DC voltage procured from the photovoltaic module and then the boosted output is transmitted to a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). VSI is used to transform the solar DC voltage to AC voltage and feeds the brushless direct current (BLDC) motor which controls vehicle applications.

High communication speed and sufficient energy supply are the directions of technological development. Energy and information available anywhere and anytime has always been people's good wishes. On this basis, resonant beam system (RBS) has demonstrated its unique superiority in meeting the needs for energy and communication. The previous work has mostly focused on the analysis of charging performance of RBS and its steady-state characteristics. In order to analyze the communication performance of RBS more thoroughly, we propose a resonant beam charging and communication (RBCC) system and use the equivalent circuit analysis method to conduct transient analysis on it. The equivalent circuit reveals the dynamic establishment process of the resonant beam from scratch, which facilitates the analysis of the relaxation oscillation process and a deeper understanding of the energy transmission and communication performance. In addition, we explore the energy transmission and communication performance of the RBCC under different energy allocation strategies.

Özetçe-Güneş ışınlarından elektrik üreten fotovoltaik panellerin verimliliği en optimum koşullarda bile yüzde on altı seviyelerindedir.

Abstract-Photovoltaic (PV) panels, generating electricity from sunlight usually have efficiency around sixteen percent under the most optimum conditions. This efficiency rate decreases even more due to the effects of temperature, radiation, dusting, weather conditions etc. In addition, micron-level fractures may occur in PV panel cells due to mechanical factors and temperature changes over time, which further reduces the panel efficiencies. In this study, performance characteristics of twenty panel modules, each having rated power of two hundred seventy five watts, were examined with respect to various parameters including shading effect, temperature, and radiation analysed comparatively. In addition, it was detected that there were micron level fractures in a few panels. The system performance was observed before and after the cracked panels were replaced, and the findings were discussed comparatively.

GİRİŞ Konvansiyonel elektrik üretiminin çevreye son derece zararlı olmasından dolayı yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir enerji kaynaklarına olan talep hızla artmaktadır. PV sistemler ile elektrik enerjisine dönüşümü, artık sıklıkla karşılaşılan elektrik enerjisi üretim yöntemlerinin başında gelmektedir. Bu enerji üretim yönteminin geleneksel enerji üretim yöntemlerine göre hammadde ihtiyacı bulunmamakta ve teorik olarak tükenmesi mümkün gözükmemektedir [1]. Güneş enerjisi, karmaşık ara elemanlara ihtiyaç duyulmadan PV sistemler ile doğru akım elektrik enerjisine dönüştürülür. PV sistemlerin ölçeklenme ko-laylığı sayesinde, birkaç watt gücündeki yükleri beslemekten, elektrik şebekesine enerji sağlayan yüzlerce megawatt güce sahip PV santrallere kadar çok geniş bir güç aralığında uygula-malar geliştirilmesine olanak sağlayabilmektedir [2]. PV sistemlerin üstünlüklerinin yanında literatürde iki önemli soruna vurgu yapılmaktadır. Bu sorunlardan ilki, PV sistem-lerin ilk kurulumda, hammaddeye bağlı standart enerji üretim yöntemlerine göre oldukça yüksek maliyete sahip olduğu şeklindedir. Bir diğer sorun ise güneş ışığından enerji üretimi için panel verimliliği %14-%19 değerleri arasında sınırlı kalması olduğudur [3]. Belirtilen sorunlara ek olarak PV'lerden elde edilebilecek güç miktarı; ışınım, sıcaklık, gölgelenme etkisi ve hava şartlarına göre doğrusal olmayan değişiklikler gösterebilmektedir. PV panel yüzeyinde mevsime bağlı olarak zamanla; toz, hayvan artıkları veya kar tabakası ile kaplanması, ısı gibi çevresel etmenler üretilen gücün azalmasına neden olmaktadır [4]. Güneş panellerinin güç-üretim verimini belirleyen en önemli faktörlerden birisi gölgeleme etkisidir. Literatürde, güç kaybı-nın, PV panelin gölgelenme etkisine maruz kalan alanına ve gölgeleme etkisinin türüne bağlı olduğu bildirilmektedir [5]. Bulutların hareketi, ağaç, bina ve benzeri büyük boyuttaki diğer nesnelerin gölgesi PV panelde güneşin konumuna göre zaman içerisinde kısmi gölgeleme etkisine neden olabilmektedir [6]. Kısmi gölgeleme koşulları PV panellerin, hücrede sıcak nokta olayı gibi etkilere neden olmaktadır. Bu etki nedeniyle gölge-lenme etkisinin olduğu PV paneller diğer gölgelenme etkisinin olmadığı PV paneller tarafından üretilen gücü tüketmektedir. Ayrıca seri bağlı PV panellerin akımını, gölgelenme etkisinin yaşandığı panelin akımıyla sınırlamaktadır. Akım sınırlanma-sının üstesinden gelebilmek amacıyla her bir PV panele paralel olarak bypass diyotlar bağlanmaktadır. Normal çalışma şartla-978-1-6654-3649-6/21/$31.00 ©2021 IEEE

Several set theories are considered in literature as tools for dealing with
uncertainities and vagueness. In 1999, Molodtsov [18] introduced the notion
of soft set theory as a new mathematical approach to deal with uncertain
objects. Theoretical and applied studies of soft sets have been studied by
various authors in [5, 6, 7, 10, 4]. In 2003, the basic set-theoretic process and
properties of the soft sets are given by Maji et al. [16]. These operations and
properties of the soft set have expanded in more detail by Ali et al. [3] and
Maji et al. [17]. In the continuation of this study, Aygünoğlu and Aygün in
[8], Cagman et al. in [9] and then Georgiou et al. in [11] made important
contributions to the development of the notion of soft topological spaces. Pei
and Miao [35] defined some special soft sets and discussed their relationship
with information systems where he examined that a soft set can be
represented by Boolean-valued information system. Aktas and Cagman [2]
and Acar et al. [1] introduced the concept of soft group and soft ring
respectively and examined their related features.
In 2002, Pawlak and Peters [25] developed the near set theory as a
generalization of approximated sets which is a generalization of rough set
theory. Later, Peters conducted research on the topological applications via
near sets in [19], computer applications in [28, 30, 31, 32, 33] and especially
on image analysis in [12, 13, 14, 15, 29]. In the studies Peters carried out in
2007 [26, 27], the problem dealt with was the approximate determination of
the perceptual objects that were qualitatively near to each other. The
qualitatively near term means the proximity of the descriptions or the
distinguishing properties of objects. The solution to this problem was
inspired in the early 1980s by Pawlak’s work on the classification of objects through the attributes [24].
Many new set definitions have been introduced through soft sets. One of
these is the near soft set defined by Tasbozan et al. [34] in 2017, who studied
the basic properties of near soft sets and the concept of near soft topological
space. Basic definitions and properties such as point, interior, closure, and
continuity in near soft sets were studied by Ozkan in 2019, and the theoretical
studies of near soft sets were continued [20]. In 2020, Ozkan et al. defined
connectivity in near soft topological spaces via near soft sets and examined
their basic properties [21].
In this study, we present the concepts of near soft separation axioms and
near soft compactness by means of near soft sets in near soft topological
spaces. In section 2, we recall the basic concept related to nearness
approximation space and near soft set theory. Section 3 begins by introducing
separation axioms namely near soft 𝑛𝑇𝑖
-spaces with examples and discuss
their relationships with each other. Some properties of these axioms are also
discussed. Later, we define the concept of near soft regular and near soft
normal spaces and discuss their characterizations. In section 4, we define the
notion of near soft compact spaces and some basic results based on near soft

The present study used MATLAB programing to implement five-parameter single-diode model (SDM) photovoltaic (PV) modules in the MATLAB/Simulink using the manufacturer's datasheet information. In this proposed algorithm, all the five unknown parameters of the SDM are evaluated without assuming an arbitrary constant value of the diode ideality factor, while computing the series and shunt resistances simultaneously. MATLAB_R2020a version was used for the implementation. The modules were implemented through the I-V equation parameters estimation of the SDM from the manufacturer's datasheet. The performance of different PV module technologies implemented was evaluated at standard test conditions (STC). The I-V and P-V curves characteristics of the developed models were analyzed. The models were further analyzed under various test conditions. Models validation was performed by comparing the results obtained with that of selected in-built PV models. Different factors affecting the modules' performance were also evaluated. Finally, a Simulink model of the PV module was also developed for easy to use with any circuit simulator. The proposed modeling technique meets the key features of minimal differences between the modeled and actual measurements data, most especially at the maximum power points, while exhibiting a fast convergence with good precision. It also proved to have improved the results obtained in previous studies, which employed similar approaches but with many initial guess values.

This research presents a method to improve data accuracy for the more efficient data management of the studied applications. The data accuracy was improved using the preciseness function learning model (PFL model). It contains a database in which the amount of data is more or less dependent on all of the possible behavior of the studied application. The proposed model improves data with functions obtained by optimizing curves to represent the data at each point, which estimate the database’s diffusion behavior, and functions can be built around all of the various forms of databases. The proposed model always updates its database after processing. It has been learning to optimize the processing precision. In order to verify the precision of the proposed model through its application to a PV system simulation model, the process’s database should contain at least one year. This is because the overall behavior of the PV power output in Thailand depends on the seasonal weather; Thailand has three seasons in a period of one year. The testing was performed by comparing the PV power output. The simulation results with the actual measurement data (12 MW PV system) can be divided into two conditions: the daily comparison and the seasonal PV power output. As a result, the proposed model can accurately simulate the PV power output despite the sudden daily climate change. The average nRMSE (normalized RMSE) of the proposed model is very low (1.23%), and ranges from 0.30% to 2.26%. Therefore, it has been proven that this model is very accurate.

Les systèmes photovoltaïques (PV) peuvent être exploités dans différents lieux. L'exposition extérieure des panneaux PV mets en jeu une combinaison complexe de facteurs (le vent, la pluie, la neige, la chaleur, la foudre, ombrage, …) qui provoquent leurs dégradations au cours du temps et réduit leurs rendement. Le diagnostic est parmi les solutions intéressantes en vue de faire fonctionner des panneaux PV à leur puissance optimale et afin de maximiser l'efficacité de la conversion PV dans le but de réduire les coûts de maintenance. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous intéressons uniquement au diagnostic des générateurs PV. L'objectif de cette thèse est de proposer des outils de traitement de signal permettant de détecter et de localiser des défauts conduisant à une baisse de rendement. Pour mener ce travail, nous faisons tout d'abord un état de l'art sur les panneaux photovoltaïques de l'aspect microscopique (cellule) à l'aspect macroscopique (champs). Pour commencer, nous présentons le principe de fonctionnement d'une cellule photovoltaïque. Parallèlement à cela, nous décrivons les différents types de défauts et présentons un panorama des méthodes de leur détection. La seconde partie, consacrée aux outils théoriques. On rappelle la définition de la cyclostationnarité et des outils associés à la cyclostationnarité à l'ordre 1 (moyenne synchrone) et l'ordre 2 (corrélation spectrale). Les performances des panneaux PV dépendant principalement des conditions météorologiques (irradiance, température), ces conditions présentent des propriétés cyclostationnaires (CS) et permettent de décomposer les signaux en un motif cyclique (CSI) et un motif aléatoire cyclostationnaire à l'ordre 2 (CS2). La CS2 est associée à des phénomènes météorologiques comme les passages nuageux. À l'aide d'exemples, nous montrons que les outils classiques (Moyenne Synchrone,Cepstre) utilisés dans le domaine de la CS ne permettent pas une bonne séparation de la composante cyclique et la partie aléatoire pour le signal d'ensoleillement à cause de la variation d'amplitude d'un cycle à un autre engendré par l'effet de la saisonnalité. C'est pourquoi nous introduisons dans ce travail une méthode originale appelée ATSA adapté à ce type de signaux. Une troisième partie traitant de la modélisation de défauts indique comment construire une base de données de signaux électriques par simulation. De nombreux modèles électriques sont utilisés dans la littérature pour comprendre le fonctionnement des panneaux PV. Le modèle de Bishop a été retenu dans cette étude, car il représente bien la caractéristique courant tension (1-V) du fonctionnement des cellules PV dans régime direct ainsi que dans le régime inverse dans le cas où une cellule est occultée. Les signaux électriques des indicateurs (puissance maximale, courant court circuit et tension circuit ouvert) sont ensuite calculés à partir de la caractéristique I-V du panneau PV obtenue pour des conditions spécifiques (irradiance, température, défaut de mismatch, défaut de diode de bypass) L'originalité de notre travail est de simuler les signaux en utilisant des caractéristiques d'ensoleillement réelles obtenu par mesure satellite. Nous introduisons ainsi la notion de saisonnalité dans la caractéristique I-V qui dépend alors du temps. La fonction d'autocorrélation cyclique est appliquée sur les parties aléatoires des signaux afin de travailler sur la CS à l'ordre2 (CS2). Dans la quatrième partie, on montre comment combiner les outils tels que l'ATSA pour faire du diagnostic sur les signaux que nous avons simulés. Dans cette étude, la CS2 des signaux a donné de bons résultats pour faire du diagnostic en comparant par l'analyse temporelle et fréquentielle

Design and development of a thermoelectric module and in its use in real application require an accurate simulation tool, which provides electrical and thermal characterizations as a function of temperature. The problem of correctly solving the basic thermoelectric equations originates from the fact that junctions temperatures are unknown and normally cannot be measured, whereas only external temperatures are available in testing and real applications. Due to thermal losses in passive layers, the internal temperatures can be significantly different.
At the same time all the equations contains temperature dependent parameters. Many approximations are usually introduced to achieve results. Here we propose a simple iterative method to obtain the temperature losses and calculate all thermoelectric performances with corrected temperatures. The method, developed in Matlab language, takes into account temperature dependent material
properties, thermal and electrical resistance of passive elements (electrodes, ceramics, interfaces, contact pad, etc.). Joule heating, Peltier and Thomson effects are considered in determine the temperatures. The effectiveness of the proposed procedure and
the differences between approximated methods are investigated. The accuracy is proved with two commercial modules: the deviation were found to be within 4% and 3%. The code demonstrates to converge in few iterations in both cases. Moreover, the robustness has been investigated as a function of different parameters confirming
that the code is suitable also for parametric simulations.
Yield and loss prediction plays an important role in the planning and operation of solar PV systems. The performance of a solar PV system depends on the location, system design, field of view, and the orientation of the solar panels in a given system. Some design and simulation tools are designed by professionals to connect to efficient planning and grid operations as well as stand-alone solar photovoltaic systems. PV SYST is recognized globally as being too fuzzy and assessing the performance of solar PV systems. In this paper, we design model of a 100 kW solar PV system in Jaipur and simulate a model developed using PV SYST. The type of module varies with polysilicon to monocrystalline and thin film-based solar photovoltaic modules. The observations and results of the proposed work are important to understand the effect of module type and tilt angle optimization on the performance parameters of the system.
Almost everywhere, organizations or individuals can adopt technologies that can be supportive to make decisions and get insight from data: artificial intelligence (AI) is an advanced new technology which is used to aid organizations in their business procedures, organizational factors, and human resources management. Employees are the nucleus of the organization. When employees leave an institution of their own volition, the company suffers greatly from various dimensions. Nowadays, we have seen a huge change in companies due to COVID-19; employees are getting fired or resigning voluntarily. It is a big issue to keep the productivity constant of a company or individual as human resources (HR) has to spend a lot of time, from the selection process to the training process. In these circumstances, minimizing the attrition rate is one of the primary concerns of the Human Resource department, which deals with staffing, development, and compensation. From this point of view, more research projects have been done through statistical analysis and applying various types of machine learning (ML) and data mining techniques such as Extreme Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, decision trees, etc. In this paper, a state-of-the-art boosting method, CatBoost, and a feature engineering process have been applied for detecting and analyzing employee attrition. Our detection system shows the utmost performance compared to the other existing systems and sorts out the significant reasons behind the attrition.

Finding the equivalent circuit parameters for photovoltaic (PV) cells is crucial as they are used in the modeling and analysis of PV arrays. PV cells are made of silicon semiconductor materials. These materials have a nonlinear characteristic. This distorts the sinusoidal waveform of the current and voltage. As a result, harmonic components are formed in the solar system. The PV cell is the smallest building block of the PV system and produces voltages between 0.5V and 0.7V. It serves as a source of current in the solar system. The amount of radiation hitting the cell determines how much current it produces. In an ideal case, a diode and a parallel current source make up the equivalent circuit of the PV cell. In practice, the addition of a series and parallel resistor is made to the ideal equivalent circuit. There are many equivalent circuits in the literature on modeling the equivalent circuit of a PV cell. The PV cell single diode model is the most used model due to its ease of analysis. In this study, the iterative method by Newton-Raphson was used to find the equivalent circuit parameters of a PV cell. This method is one of the most widely used methods for determining the roots of nonlinear equations in numerical analysis. In this study, five unknown parameters (Iph, Io, Rs, Rsh, m) of the PV cell equivalent circuit were quickly discovered with the software program prepared based on the Newton-Raphson method in Matlab.
Abstract: Solar energy, which is an inexhaustible, clean and easily accessible energy source, can be converted into electrical energy with the help of photovoltaic (PV) panels. Environmental factors such as dust and dirt cause pollution of PV panels and decrease the efficiency of energy conversion. One of the methods used to reduce the negative effect of dirt on panel efficiency is to coat the surface of the panels with photocatalytic materials. Oxygen and nanoparticles are formed on photocatalytic surfaces with the help of ultraviolet rays in sunlight. These particles form a chemical reaction between the coating and the surface, breaking down and destroying the dirt on the surface. In this study, the effect of titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a photocatalytic material on the efficiency of solar panels was investigated. Experimental studies were carried out in Bingöl city using two 285 W polycrystalline solar panels. One of the panel surfaces is coated with TiO2 and no treatment has been applied to the surface of the other panel. When the measured data were analyzed, it was seen that while the powers of the two panels were almost the same at the beginning, with the contamination of the panels, the power obtained from the TiO2 coated panel was up to 19% higher. In addition, it was observed that the
High communication speed and sufficient energy supply are the directions of technological development. Energy and information available anywhere and anytime has always been people’s good wishes. On this basis, resonant beam system (RBS) has demonstrated its unique superiority in meeting the needs for energy and communication. The previous work has mostly focused on the analysis of charging performance of RBS and its steady-state characteristics. In order to analyze the communication performance of RBS more thoroughly, we propose a resonant beam charging and communication (RBCC) system and use the equivalent circuit analysis method to conduct transient analysis on it. The equivalent circuit reveals the dynamic establishment process of the resonant beam from scratch, which facilitates the analysis of the relaxation oscillation process and a deeper understanding of the energy transmission and communication performance. In addition, we explore the energy transmission and communication performance of the RBCC under different energy allocation strategies.

This paper focuses on four parameter single-diode model applied to a heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer module. Matlab software was used to carry out the simulations of current-voltage (I–V) characteristic curves under varying irradiance and temperature conditions. Accuracy of the model was verified by outdoor measurements at different irradiance and temperature values. Series resistance as well as diode ideality factor were extracted from the modeling results. Relative errors were calculated for three main points of I–V characteristic curve: open circuit voltage, short circuit current and maximum power point. Root mean square errors of I–V curves were also computed. Analysis shows high accuracy of the model at considered conditions in case of open circuit voltage with up to 0.27% of maximum relative error and short circuit current with about 0.5% of relative error. Good agreement between simulated and measured values of maximum power points was also noticed at irradiance levels from 600 W/m ² to 1000 W/m ² (about 1% of relative errors). Calculated RMSE value of about 0.6% at high irradiances confirms high level of accuracy of presented model in application to a heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer module.

The photovoltaic power systems are becoming important in the power production market with each succeeding year what can be determined by the skyrocketing development of cumulative installed power of the PV installations in the EU countries and worldwide. In this paper results of researches for minimization of the total current and voltage harmonics' distortion of the PV system are presented. Researches were performed by means of MATLAB/SIMULINK programme and "Powerqui" unit. Method for minimization of electromagnetic disturbances generated by the small scale PV system is based on the selection of the proper shape and parameters of the modulation voltage. Two shapes of the modulation voltage are proposed: the curve of sine voltages of first and third harmonics and the curve of the sine voltage involutes in the n power. Dependences of the total harmonic disturbances of the inverted current and voltage on the parameters of proposed forms of modulation voltage were determined by means of simulation. Evident extreme values of the total harmonic disturbances (minimums) at certain varied parameters were found in both cases. According to the results of researches the curve of sine voltages of first and third harmonics proved itself as giving twice less total harmonic disturbances of inverted current. Total harmonic disturbances of the inverted voltage show that its dependence of the on the form and parameters of modulation voltage is not so sensitive.
An effective way of improving efficiency and reducing the rate of thermal degradation of a photovoltaic (PV) module is by reducing the operating temperature of its surface. This can be achieved by cooling the module and reducing the heat stored inside the PV cells during operation. In this paper, long-term performance modeling of a proposed solar-water pumping system is carried out. The system, which is used for irrigation purposes, consists of a PV module cooled by water, a submersible water pump, and a water storage tank. Cooling of the PV panel is achieved by introducing water trickling configuration on the upper surface of the panel. An experimental rig is developed to investigate and evaluate PV module performance with the proposed cooling technique. The experimental results indicated that due to the heat loss by convection between water and the PV panel's upper surface, an increase of about 15% in system output is achieved at peak radiation conditions. Long-term performance of the system is estimated by integrating test results in a commercial transient simulation package using site radiation and ambient temperature data. The simulation results of the system's annual performance indicated that an increase of 5% in delivered energy from the PV module can be achieved during dry and warm seasons.

This paper presents how the efficiency of solar cell can be increased with the design of compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) and the implementation of sun tracking system. Sun tracking systems is an application of the machine vision (MV) and collaboration with data acquisition (DAQ) to systems by using a webcamera as a sensor and sound card as an output channel to drive a motor. The motors will react as the mechanism of the camera to make sure it always focuses on the target of sun. By using a MatLab software programming environment, closes loop control is implemented to provide interaction between camera and sound card as a device to control the motor to track the sun. Sun tracking system with webcamera will be an effective tool to increase the efficiency of the solar cells. Camera is the sensor of the system, be an eye of the human to take care and observe the sun. As soon the sun can be tracked with the CPC, the voltage, current and power received will always be at the maximum of the efficiency. This research could provide significant improvement in alternative energy.
Renewable energy sources and technologies have potential to provide solutions to the long-standing energy problems being faced by the developing countries. The renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, biomass energy and fuel cell technology can be used to overcome energy shortage in India. To meet the energy requirement for such a fast growing economy, India will require an assured supply of 3–4 times more energy than the total energy consumed today. The renewable energy is one of the options to meet this requirement. Today, renewable account for about 33% of India's primary energy consumptions. India is increasingly adopting responsible renewable energy techniques and taking positive steps towards carbon emissions, cleaning the air and ensuring a more sustainable future. In India, from the last two and half decades there has been a vigorous pursuit of activities relating to research, development, demonstration, production and application of a variety of renewable energy technologies for use in different sectors. In this paper, efforts have been made to summarize the availability, current status, major achievements and future potentials of renewable energy options in India. This paper also assesses specific policy interventions for overcoming the barriers and enhancing deployment of renewables for the future.

Presented the model based on the clear sky standard, which allows calculation of solar insolation values at each location in Lithuania. Model is associated with geographical coordinates of Lithuania and local time of every day of the year. It is made for modeling electronic systems for management of solar panels and solar thermal collectors. Model was tested by calculating solar insolation at 313 369 locations of Lithuania. It is shown that the lowest insolation in territory of Lithuania on noon of June 21 is 375 W/m2 and the highest is - 439 W/m2. Deviation of solar insolation values from average is ± 8%. In addition, it is shown that the changes in solar insolation are caused by zenith or altitude angle variations. Model is suitable for calculation of optimal angles of solar panels and solar thermal collectors in any location of Lithuania.
This paper proposes general and specific modeling and simulation for Schott ASE-300-DGF PV panel for Smart Grid applications. This is done, with the aid of MATLAB environment and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). First modeling of PV cell module at nominal conditions at 25°C, and 1KW/m2 with I-V curves at (0°C, 25°C, 50°C, 75°C), also power and irradiance. Then, we propose general modeling and simulation at more probable situations for variable values of temperature and irradiance. The simulation results at each irradiance value with various temperature values and corresponding characteristics are well depicted in 3-D figures. Later, the ANN model for the proposed range of irradiance and temperature as model inputs, with the corresponding values of voltages, currents, and power as outputs is presented. Finally, algebraic equations for the ANN model are deduced.
The models for photovoltaic (PV) systems currently in ESP-r prove very useful in estimating the electrical and thermal impact of building-integrated photovoltaics. However, while they represent well the impact of photovoltaics on the building's thermal energy balance, they may lack in accuracy in the prediction of the system's energy production. To achieve both goals at once it is suggested to improve the PV models in ESP-r, taking into account all phenomena affecting the power output of PV modules: solar radiation intensity, cell temperature, angle of incidence, spectral distribution, uncertainty in manufacturer's ratings, ageing, mismatch, soil and dirt, snow, partial shading, diodes and wiring. This would provide a more realistic estimate of the probable output of the PV system over its lifetime. It is suggested to implement three models: a simple model based on constant efficiency, a one-diode equivalent model with explicit temperature dependency of the parameters, and the Sandia model for cases when detailed modeling is required.
Recent years have seen increasing public interest in issues related to energy saving and concern for the environment. It is important to highlight the work of public institutions in this respect. This was the motive that led the University of Valencia to finance a pilot project with the objective of studying useful initiatives for optimising energy consumption in accordance with the institution’s needs as well as the incorporation of innovative and more efficient technologies. The approach was to consider various aspects ranging from the analysis of the current energy consumption and the state of the installations, through the substitution of some energy inefficient components, to the study of the possible installation of a photovoltaic solar powered electricity generation station connected to the network. Also purely technical questions on economic efficiency should not be forgotten as this could lead to a reduction in energy consumption and the optimisation of the current energy consuming equipment, since generally, it is this question that limits the possible energy saving actions.
Four 3 kW grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation systems have been installed and monitored at the Field Demonstration Test Center in Korea since October 2002. To observe the overall effect of meteorological conditions on their operation characteristics by field test, the monitoring system has been constructed for measuring and analyzing the performance of PV systems and components in November 2002. In this paper, the performance of PV systems is evaluated and analyzed not only for component perspective but also for global perspective by reviewing one year of monitoring results and loss factors of PV systems. On the basis of these monitoring results, the performance of PV systems is compared to the measured performance of PV systems with the estimated performance by simulation. These results will indicate that it is highly imperative to develop evaluation, analysis and application technology for PV systems.

The feasibility of using low-cost solar collection and storage technology to provide energy for residential units is investigated. Different construction strategies were compared including traditional housing practice against newly innovative ideas such as low radiant heating system, desiccant dehumidification, integrated low-cost solar collection, and phase-change material (PCM) storage. The selected building, located in Blacksburg, VA, integrated a solar thermal roof collection system consisting of a low-temperature flat-plate collector integrated within a concrete building envelope linked to a PCM storage tank. For the considered location and weather conditions (Blacksburg, VA), the proposed collection and storage solar system can supply 88% of the building's space heating and hot water needs averaged throughout the year saving the homeowner approximately 61.5% of the annual heating bills. However, the use of a storage system is not economical for the considered conditions. The paper also shows a month-by-month demand and supply distributions for the modeled building's heating and hot water needs.
The near-exponential rise in tourist numbers and accelerating economic growth have challenged Tibetan energy supply and threaten its peculiar environment and valuable ecosystem. Exploitation of pollution free solar power may medicate this demand for energy. Here we shall provide a review of solar power development in Tibet. This region has a near inexhaustible source of solar energy due to its average annual radiation intensity of 6000–8000 MJ/m2, ranking it first in China and second after the Sahara worldwide. Currently, Tibet has 400 photovoltaic power stations with a total capacity of nearly 9 MW. In addition, 260,000 solar energy stoves, passive solar house heating covering 3 million square meters, and 400,000 m2 of passive solar water heaters are currently in use in Tibet. Although Tibet places first in applying solar energy in China, solar energy faces big challenges from hydroelectric power and the absence of local know-how. The new power generation capacity in Tibet's “11th Five-Year (2006–2010)” Plan focuses primarily on hydropower, PV power stations being relegated to a secondary role as supplementary to hydropower. Here it will be argued that this emphasis is incorrect and that solar energy should take first place in Tibet's energy development, as it is crucial in striving for a balance between economic development, booming tourism, and environmental protection.
