A qualitative examination of performance and energy yield of photovoltaic modules in southern Norway
2010
Three different, commercially available photovoltaic modules have been monitored outdoors in the town of Grimstad, Norway. The present paper describes the experimental setup that was implemented, in particular details of the low-cost electronic loads. Results compare measured performance with manufacturer's data, and temperature measurements enable a comparison with performance at standard test condition temperature. Overall, the monocrystalline module performed best both regarding maximum efficiency and overall energy production, whereas the module based on triple junction amorphous silicon technology had the worst performance considering these criteria. The gross numbers of energy yield c…
Technical and Economic Aspects of Photovoltaic Conversion of Southern Poland
2014
Abstract The article presents the results of a 13-year tests and analysis of performance and energy and electrical charge yield for typical photovoltaic modules made of different absorbers. Modules were installed on the south wall of Opole University building (at kard. B. Kominka Street). Registered in this period (2001-2013) values energy and charge of tested modules are presented in reference to 1 Wp their nominal power and to 1 m2 of PV modules. Their annual and monthly distributions, with particular emphasis on the seasonal changes of its parameters and phenomena of aging and degradation of the PV modules structure were shown. In the final part of the article was presented an economic a…
Bone rigidity to neuromuscular performance ratio in young and elderly men.
2009
Given the adaptation of bone to prevalent loading, bone loss should follow, but lag behind, the decline in physical performance during aging. Furthermore, bone responsiveness to load-induced strains is believed to decrease with aging. However, the relationship between bone and lean body ( approximately muscle) mass appears to remain rather constant throughout adulthood. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between age and bone to neuromuscular performance ratio. Young (N=20, age 24 SD+/-2 years, body mass 77+/-11 kg, height 178+/-6 cm) and elderly (N=25, 72+/-4 years, 75+/-9 kg, 172+/-5 cm) men served as subjects. Bone structural traits were measured at the right distal …
Performance assessment of field deployed multi-crystalline PV modules in Nordic conditions
2019
This paper presents an investigation of data monitoring quality and evaluation of performance degradation of four different multi-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) photovoltaic (PV) modules installed in the higher latitude conditions in southern Norway. Degradation of each module has been investigated in terms of degradation of short-circuit current (I SC ), open-circuit voltage (V OC ), fill factor (FF) and maximum power (P MPP ). The analysis for the period of monitoring data from 2014 to 2018 show no considerable module degradation compared to the standard degradation rate of all parameters. The statistical analysis of I SC shows an average degradation of 0.17% for all modules. Spectral correc…
Smart Micro-Grid Performance using Renewable Energy
2020
The aim of this research is to determine the performance of PV panels, wind turbines, battery storage and power imported from the grid to the system which will ensure a reliable energy supply, as well as the technical feasibility of a smart microgrid system. Indonesia’s renewable energy potential for electricity reaches 443 GW, where solar energy is the largest potential, namely 4.8 KWh m–2 or equivalent to 112 000 GWp, but only 10 MWp has been utilized. The most basic problem in this system, namely, the uncertainty of wind energy and solar energy, one of the most vital factors in the optimal size of a renewable energy-based smart microgrid system is the reliability of the system being buil…
Technical and economic aspects of photovoltaic conversion of southern Poland
2014
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki 13-letniej analizy testowania sprawności oraz uzysku energii i ładunku elektrycznego typowych modułów fotowoltaicznych wykonanych z różnych absorberów, zainstalowanych na południowej ścianie budynku Uniwersytetu Opolskiego przy ulicy kard. B. Kominka. Zarejestrowane w tym okresie (2001-2013) wartości kumulacji energii i ładunku testowanych modułów przedstawiono zarówno w odniesieniu do 1 Wp ich mocy nominalnej, jak i do 1 m2 powierzchni modułów PV. Przedstawiono ich roczne i miesięczne rozkłady ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem sezonowości zmian ich parametrów oraz zjawiska starzenia i degradacji struktury modułów PV. W końcowej części artykułu zaprezentowano eko…
