Intro
The angle of incidence of solar rays is different at different latitudes. Therefore, using the same angle of inclination for concentrators will not help in acquiring best solar energy capture. What we aim to do in this project is obtain the optimal positioning of concentrators for 6 cases of latitude ranging from 10-60 degrees with an increment of 10 degrees. For each of the latitude cases, we will consider 9 inclination angles of the PV panels ranging from 0-90 degrees with an increment of 15 degrees and test the position of concentrators aiming to obtain best energy yield. We will simulate 6 angles for the concentrators ranging from 10-60 degrees with 10 degrees increment to find the optimal solution. We ultimately want to generate a thumb of rule from this experiment.
Literature Review
The papers reviewed for the completion of this project has been listed below, with a brief summary, in chronological order of publication.
Modeling daylight availability and irradiance components from direct and global irradiance - 1990[1]
- Presented improved models for predicting relevant quantities like solar energy in short intervals and availability of light - can be used for specific user needs.
- The first model relates the irradiance value to the light from sun/sky as comprehended by the human eye.
- The second model approximates the illuminance and irradiance received by any horizontally surface tilted.
- Third one uses the angular distribution of light instead of the diffuse values.
