Estimation Of Output Enhancement Of A Partially Shaded Bipv Array By The Use Of Ac Modules And The Economics Of Bipv Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The possible enhancement of the output from a partially shaded PV array by the use of AC modules has been determined for the PV facade at the University of Northumbria. The system currently has an annual shading loss of about 25% and the study has shown that the use of AC modules would increase the output by approximately 8%. The calculation method is described, and the implications for the design of partially shaded BIPV systems discussed. The effect of soiling, due to atmospheric pollution, on the output of the array and the economics of BIPV systems in Australia and the UK will also be discussed.
