Full textA photovoltaic field is typically composed by series-connected panels, thus composing strings, which are then connected in parallel. By this way, the current and the voltage values of the photovoltaic generator are adapted to operating range of the power electronics systems that transform the generated energy, conveying it to the load and to the electrical grid. The performance of the photovoltaic systems are reduced when a partial shading of the field occurs. In this case, the modules could work under very different conditions from each other, so that the system components may not be able to maximize the generated energy and/or the operating constraints of power electronics systems are not respected. The reconfiguration of the electrical connections among the panels leads to maximize the performance of the photovoltaic systems but it requires additional hardware and it causes further energy consumptions that have to be minimized by executing the reconfiguration procedure only when the shading phenomena occur. The choice of the electrical configuration of the panels is determined by an appropriate algorithm and then it is actuated by a matrix of relays... [edited by author]

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project investigated the feasibility of incorporating photovoltaic cells into plastic roof tiles using injection moulding. Such tiles have the potential to provide robust and distributed electricity contained within the building envelope. Current-voltage curves of amorphous silicon modules were measured under illumination using the PVPM 2540C power measuring instrument, both before and after moulding. The efficiency after moulding was reduced by 53% to 88%, with modules that were heated for longer being degraded more. Thus the duration of exposure to high temperatures affected the extent of performance reduction during moulding. This suggested that faster moulding at a lower temperature or faster cooling could solve the problem. Economic feasibility was examined by calculating the levellised cost of electricity provided by the tiles. A large-scale development in the Western Cape was simulated using a typical meteorological year of weather data and using the anisotropic diffuse irradiance model of Perez et al. (1988). Avoided costs due to replaced roofing, avoided costs due to electricity distribution infrastructure, and Clean Development Mechanism credits were accounted for. The cost of energy calculated was R11/kWh in 2010 rands, which did not compete with the price of conventional grid-based electricity at R1.8/kWh. The importance of the cost of balance-of-system components, such as the inverter, and not only of the photovoltaic modules, was highlighted for future cost reductions. Several clear guidelines for manufacturing photovoltaic roof tiles were discovered. The most important of these was that many bypass diodes make the system more robust.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie projek het die haalbaarheid van die integrasie van fotovoltaïse selle in plastiek dakteëls deur spuitvorming ondersoek. Sulke dakteëls het die vermoë om robuuste en verspreide elektrisiteit te lewer, sonder om die gebou se vorm te verander. Stroom-spanning kurwes van struktuurlose silikon eenhede is onder verligting gemeet met die PVPM 2540C kragmeet instrument, voor en na spuitvorming. Die doeltreffendheid na spuitvorming is met 53% tot 88% verminder, met groter vermindering in die eenhede wat langer warm was. Dus het die duur van blootstelling aan hoë temperature die mate van vermindering van doeltreffendheid beïnvloed. Dit het suggereer dat óf vinniger spuitvorming by laer temperature óf vinniger verkoeling die probleem kan oplos. Ekonomiese haalbaarheid is ondersoek deur die koste van die elektrisiteit wat deur die dakteëls gelewer is te bereken. ’n Groot behuisingsontwikkeling in die Wes-Kaap is gesimuleer deur ’n tipiese weerkundige jaar van weerdata en die anisotroop model vir verspreide ligstraling van Perez et al. (1988) te gebruik. Vermyde kostes van vervangde dakteëls, vermyde kostes van elektrisiteit distribusie infrastruktuur en krediete van die Meganisme vir Skoonontwikkeling is in ag geneem. Die elektrisiteitskoste was R11/kWh in 2010 se randwaarde, wat nie mededingend met die R1.8/kWh koste van gewone netwerk elektrisiteit was nie. Die belang van die kostes van die res van die installasieonderdele, soos die wisselrigter, en nie net die fotovoltaïse eenhede nie, is beklemtoon vir kostevermindering in die toekoms. Verskeie duidelike riglyne vir die vervaardiging van fotovoltaïse dakteëls is voorgestel. Die belangrikste van hierdie was dat meer omloopdiodes die installasie meer robuust maak.

Full textAn important consideration when installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) array for residential, commercial, or agricultural operations is determining the suitability of the site. A roof-top location for a residential application may have fewer options due to limited space (roof size), type of roofing material (such as a sloped shingle, or a flat roof), the orientation (south, east, or west), and roof-mounted structures such as vent pipe, chimney, heating & cooling units. A location with open space may utilize a ground-mount system or pole-mount system.

Full textSyftet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur effektivt det är att implementera styrning av en solpanel i en eller två axlar. För att kunna avgöra nyttan så togs det hänsyn till drivsystemet och hur mycket energi det gick åt för styrningen. Även praktiska tillämpningar kontrollerades och vilka fördelar och nackdelar som skulle erhållas. För att svara på frågeställningarna, tillverkades en prototyp som testades i en kontrollerad miljö. Genom att rotera panelen runt en axel ökar energiupptaget 26 % och för det tvåaxliga systemet 56 % jämfört med en stationär panel. Användningen av stegmotorer visade sig inte vara speciellt effektiv då det krävdes kontinuerlig strömmatning för att erhålla det motormoment som krävdes för att hålla panelen på plats.
