EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF PHOTOVOLTAICS SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS IN URBAN AREA
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 28
Abstract
Nowadays, photovoltaic systems installed in urban areas have to be an essential part of distributed generation systems, and lead to improve energy efficiency of buildings. The paper describes the operation aspects of the 7,5 kWp photovoltaic installation located on the roof of the didactic building of AGH University of Science and Technology. The significant part of the roof Is occupied by HVAC installation, so the periodic shading is occurring. It makes, that a level of energy generated in the PV system is lower than expected. The first part of the test was focused on the validating model of the installation and determine its impact on the CO2 emissions. Then, modifications in the arrangement of the panels were considered (redirecting of additional light stream). Moreover, an economic and environmental analysis of proposed improvements were conducted.<br/><br/>
