چکیده

Optimising the output power of a photovoltaic panel improves the efficiency of a solar driven energy system. The maximum output power of a PV panel depends on atmospheric conditions, load profile and the tilt and orientation angles. In this study, an experimental analysis of maximizing output power of a PV panel is carried out, based on the use of existing equations of tilt and orientation angles derived from mathematical models and simulation packages. A data logger, DC-DC converter/maximum power point tracker, fixed load resistance and single PV panel is used. The PV panel is set to an orientation angle of 0 o with tilt angles of 16 o , 26 o and 36 o .

An Intelligent PV Panel Structure to Extract the Maximum Power in Mismatch Irradiance

a new intelligent photovoltaic (PV) panel structure to extract the maximum power in mismatch irradiance is proposed. In conventional structures, difference of irradiance between series panels can cause the deviation of maximum power point. In this condition tracking MPP becomes difficult and reduces efficiency. Improvements in power electronics and its effects in PV industrial technology, devel...

Increasing the Efficiency of Photovoltaic Systems by Using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)

Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...
