How to optimize a photovoltaic plant?

The optimization process is considered to maximize the amount of energy absorbed by the photovoltaic plant using a packing algorithm (in Mathematica™ software). This packing algorithm calculates the shading between photovoltaic modules. This methodology can be applied to any photovoltaic plant.

What is a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure?

In order to respond to the national goal of “carbon neutralization” and make more rational and effective use of photovoltaic resources, combined with the actual photovoltaic substation project, a fixed adjustable photovoltaic support structure design is designed.

What rack configurations are used in photovoltaic plants?

The most used rack configurations in photovoltaic plants are the 2 V × 12 configuration (2 vertically modules in each row and 12 modules per row) and the 3 V × 8 configuration (3 vertically consecutive modules in each row and 8 modules per row). Codes and standards have been used for the structural analysis of these rack configurations.

Does a 3 v 8 photovoltaic plant have a tilt angle?

The results show that the 3 V × 8 configuration with a tilt angle of 14 (°) increases the amount of energy captured by up to 32.45% in relation to the current configuration of Sigena I photovoltaic plant with a levelized cost of the produced electricity efficiency of 1.10.

What affects the optimum tilt angle of a photovoltaic module?

(vi) The tilt angle that maximizes the total photovoltaic modules area has a great influence on the optimum tilt angle that maximizes the energy.

Which data should be used to design a solar power system?

It is noting that the design should be done on meteoro-logical data, solar irradiance, and the exact load prole of consumers over long periods .
