Investigation on Efficiency Improvement Methodologies for Solar Photovoltaic System for Renewable Energy Applications

Abstract

As their name suggests, renewable energy sources are ones that can be replenished through time; as a result, they are resources that will never run out. Some of the most common renewable energy sources are water, biomass, solar power, geothermal heat, and wind. As fossil fuel and oil stocks continue to be depleted, there is a significant need for renewable energy sources. In addition, the increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels caused by these nonrenewable resources pose a hazard to the ecosystem. According to many, solar power offers the most promise of any renewable energy source now in existence, making it an ideal replacement for more traditional energy sources. In the last 10 years, solar power has become increasingly popular throughout the globe. There have been a plethora of studies aimed at maximizing energy extraction in this most famous field. Solar power is becoming increasingly popular due to its many advantages, such as being cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and requiring little in the way of upkeep. For various manufacturing technologies and locations, this research aims to conduct the numerical model of a 1MWp and 100 kWp solar power plant. A model of the plant, studies of losses, and a demonstration of the planned power station were all made possible with the help of the PV-Syst programming tool. In order to conduct the techno-economic analysis of the system, several assembly techniques and unique guiding plans have been employed. Implementing a maximum power point tracking system enhanced with a solar photovoltaic system is another goal of the project. newlineAs part of this experiment, we also tested how cooling affected the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic system and how thermal instability affected its power production. A variety of cooling systems have been designed and studied to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of solar photovoltaic systems in terms of power production and operation. In order to improve the operational output of solar photovoltaic systems, this study has
