World view on photovoltaic power production: potential electricity generation from a typical PV power plant with c-Si fixed-mounted modules optimally tilted towards the Equator
Summary
[edit]DescriptionGlobal-Solar-Atlas World PVOUT Solargis.png |
English: Global Solar Atlas (GSA 2.2) Photovoltaic Power Potential: This map provides a summary of estimated solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential. It represents the average daily/yearly totals of electricity production from a 1 kW-peak grid-connected solar PV power plant, calculated for a period from 1994/1999/2007 (depending on the region) to 2018. The PV system configuration consists of ground-based, free-standing structures with crystalline-silicon PV modules mounted at a fixed position, with optimum tilt towards the equator to maximize yearly energy yield. Use of high efficiency inverters is assumed. The solar electricity calculation is based on high-resolution solar resource data and PV modeling software provided by Solargis. The calculation takes into account solar radiation, air temperature, and terrain, to simulate the energy conversion and losses in the PV modules and other components of a PV power plant. In the simulation, losses due to dirt and soiling was estimated to be 3.5%. The cumulative effect of other conversion losses (inter-row shading, mismatch, inverters, cables, transformer, etc.) is assumed to be 7.5%. The power plant availability is considered to be 100%. The underlying solar resource database is calculated from atmospheric and satellite data with a 10/15/30-minute time step, and a nominal spatial resolution of 1 km. |
