Postępy w fotowoltanice w Polsce i na świecie = Progress in photovoltaics in Poland and the world
2015
W artykule przedstawiono postęp w zakresie uzyskiwanych sprawności przez ogniwa i moduły fotowoltaiczne (PV) wykonane z różnych materiałów i za pomocą różnych technologii. Zawarto w nim szczegółowe zestawienia tabelaryczne sprawności oraz ich parametrów technicznych. Zwrócono uwagę na nowe obiecujące technologie, które jeszcze nie mają rekordowych sprawności, ale z uwagi na proces ich wytwarzania rokują nadzieje na uzyskanie bardzo dużych sprawności albo tanich wielkopowierzchniowych modułów do komercyjnego zastosowania. Ponadto, omówiono ekonomiczne skutki wdrożenia nowo zawartych zapisów w uchwalonej w lutym 2015 r. Ustawie o Odnawialnych Źródłach Energii (OZE) dla rozwoju rozproszonych i…

A novel implicit correlation for the operative temperature of a PV panel
2012
Abstract The operating temperature of a commercial PV panel strongly affects the electric power output of the devices. The prediction of the operating temperature therefore plays a central role in the economic and energy assessment of PV systems. The authors propose a new implicit correlation that takes into account the standard weather variables but also the regimen of PV panel in terms of the proximity to the maximum power points. Data coming from an experimental setup were processed by using the least squares technique. To validate the reliability of the correlation, a comparison between expected values and data from other common correlations were done. The results show that the regimen …
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Non Destructive Diagnostics
2018
The paper proposes a cloud platform for analyzing the radiometric infrared videos uploaded by drones which patrol large photovoltaic plants. Thanks to artificial vision algorithms, it does not require any human support to select and associate the framed PV modules to the corresponding ones in the topology of the photovoltaic plant. The algorithm implements an innovative diagnostic protocol, which evaluates the thermal state of the photovoltaic module, whichever the environmental conditions are. The data automatically computed and collected in a multimedia database provide the O&M technicians with significant information to monitor the ageing of each module of the photovoltaic plant. The pro…
Impact of the Solar Irradiation Angle on the Work of Modules with Spherical Cells - Simulation
2018
The main purpose of all PV modules is to convert solar energy into electricity, but in the era of building integrated photovoltaics, there are additional opportunities to use them. The use of them as a composite of architectural structures in the form of facade cladding, roofing, stained glass windows or noise barriers on highways, in addition to generating electricity embellish also the aesthetic value of the facilities. However, these atypical their use, cause that the modules should have quite different properties then in the traditional application, which is related to their unusual way of positioning. Particularly for structures such as the modules made of spherical cells with the two …
The use of two-diode substitute model in predicting the efficiency of PV conversion in low solar conditions
2017
The article presents theoretical foundations of a two-diode equivalent model of a photovoltaic cell/module (PV), together with calculation procedures. A physical interpretation of individual components of an equivalent model was presented. Its practical application in predicting efficiency of operation of various PV cells and modules in low insulation conditions was demonstrated. The obtained predictions were verified with the actual results of their operation in open space (outdoor). The practical suitability of the “model” in early detection of ageing phenomena, such as, for example, absorber degradation taking place in PV modules, was demonstrated. The article was prepared on the basis o…

The article presents theoretical foundations of application of the reduced I-V Blaesser’s characteristics in predicting a photovoltaic cell/module (PV) efficiency, together with calculation procedures. A detailed analysis of the error of this transformation method of characteristics was carried out. Its practical application in predicting efficiency of operation of various PV cells and modules in medium and high insulation conditions was demonstrated. The practical suitability of the presented method in early detection of ageing phenomena, such as, for example, absorber degradation taking place in PV modules, was demonstrated. The article was prepared on the basis of the results of testing …
A comparison of different one-diode models for the representation of I–V characteristic of a PV cell
2014
Predictive performance tools are an important factor in the success of any new technology because they permit demonstration of whether a system will be efficient and economically feasible. A reliable predictive tool should allow the designer to optimise system performance and to maximise the cost effectiveness of a system prior to installation. This article discusses the five main parametric models for photovoltaic (PV) systems available in the literature. The current–voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic module can be reproduced modelling the PV panel as an equivalent electrical circuit made of linear and non-linear components. The parameters describing such components are directly rel…
