Energy, exergy, sustainability, and economic analyses of a grid-connected solar power plant consisting of bifacial PV modules with solar tracking system on a single axis

This study presents the energy, exergy, sustainability and exergoeconomic analysis of a grid-connected solar power plant with capacity 226.4 MWe single axis tracking system consisting monocrystalline bifacial panels manufactured half-cut technology. is located in Karapınar district Konya province Türkiye, between 37°45 37°47 north latitudes 33°33 33°35 east longitudes. Based on first second laws thermodynamics, 6-month average values energy efficiency, maximum electrical conversion exergy index, thermoeconomic, parameters were evaluated detail. As result analyses, electricity efficiency found to be 75.50%, 36.42%, 22.34%, 21.98%, respectively. The index 1.29. Thermoeconomic parameter calculated as 2.43 W/$ 2.32 W/$, respectively, using EXCEM method.
