Voltage Fluctuation and Photovoltaic Power Generation

Abstract

The weather station is the primary tool used to conduct the experiment in this research. One of the key renewable energy sources that is quickly becoming a viable substitute for fossil fuels is the solar cell. The purpose of a weather station is to harvest solar energy. Vantage Pro software is then utilized to obtain energy data from weather stations.. A solar radiation sensor was used to measure the amount of solar radiation. As an outdoor unit, it is designed with a diffuser element and housing that have an appropriate cosine response. Two pieces of housing reduced the radiation heating, allowed the sensor to cool, and stopped dust and water from accumulating. Measurements and solar radiation are provided indoors via the display console. This display console will serve as both a display device and a receiver, sending information to the CPU for raw external data.. The information was gathered and moved to the vantage pro2. Following that, the vantage pro2 connects to a computer to store the data and analyze it in order to determine the best PV module location. For the sake of explanation, the data was gathered, documented, and plotted on a graph over a thirty-one-day period. The PV generation findings indicate that the highest solar energy was generated on January 29 at 632.5 (watt/m^2), while the lowest solar energy was generated on January 14 at 341.8 (watt/m^2). Therefore, the number of days with sun energy below 400 watts per square meter is smaller than the number of days with solar energy above 400 watts per square meter. Thus, solar radiation and ambient temperature are the variables that influence the variation of solar energy. Thus, the results displayed in the above table demonstrate that the location is appropriate for the PV panel installation.
