Orientation-Optimization Simulation for Solar Photovoltaic Plant of Cairo International Airport

Solar energy is a prompt creating source of worldwide. Airports are typically large and shade-free structures, which offer the idealistic platform for installing surfaces photovoltaic panels generating more than 20 GW/yr. Optimization key factor to promote power conversion efficiency. Solar-radiation amount depends on an essential factor, orientation modules. The azimuth tilt angles affect receiving solar radiation, accordingly have major influence system performance. PVsyst software important simulation design system. This study provides proposal plant in Cairo International Airport. Moreover, gives several cases get optimum yearly maximize annual yield. also improves generation by carrying out optimization obtain dual-seasonal optimal summer winter. orientation-optimization were done software. results indicated that angle 0°, 30°, generated around 35 GWh/yr. 10° 50° winter maximized be about 36.5 contributes effectively increase production using panel-orientation, as well being able save 50% Cairo-International-Airport Terminal-Building 3 electrical consumption.
