SIMULATION AND COMPARATIVE PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A STAND-ALONE PV POWER SYSTEM IN GÖKÇEADA
Abstract :
This study simulates and analyzes the practical performance of a 2 kW stand-alone PV power system located in Gökçeada/Turkey. System performance was calculated both by simulation and real life measurements. Although the total system efficiency and the performance ratio is simulated 5 % and 41 %, these values are calculated averagely during the real-life monitoring period as 4 % and % 32.4 respectively. The results were reported using the international evaluation parameters. The main reasons of the difference between the simulated and practical calculated values are the partial shadow effects and the limited energy generation due to the low load demand.
