Yıllık PV enerji üretiminin tahmini için sistem modeli ve programın tasarımı: karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma

Suitability evaluation of a location for power generation plant installation requires long-term measurements and calculations. Since the energy production values foreseen in the project process of the solar power plant directly affect the return period of the project cost, it is of great importance to make the calculations correctly. In this study, a model and program were designed to find the closest estimation values. Energy production values are estimated for 54 kWh solar power plant (SPP) in Balikesir using designed model. It is important that the SPP consists of two groups with different angles, directions and capacities in terms of comparing the accuracy of the calculation. The developed model used the hourly meteorological data and catalog values to Energy production calculations. The model allows making calculations for all the angles of the sun and the characteristic data of the system. The developed program was compared with energy production results of PVGIS (Photovoltaic Geographical Information System) programs. As a result of analysis, it has been observed that more realistic and closer results were produced by means of the designed program. The advantage of this program is that more parameters of the photovoltaic (PV) system can be monitored compared to the other programs.
