Simulação de perdas de desempenho em um sistema de geração fotovoltaica

Abstract

With the growing demand for energy year after year, there is a need in the search for renewable energy sources seeking sustainability and less environmental impacts. Solar energy is one of the renewable sources with a high potential for energy capture. Photovoltaic systems have a high reliability in long-term performance, and this reliability depends on the performance and useful life of the modules, directly related to the return on the high investment and cost of energy generation. In Brazil, there is a growing number of photovoltaic systems, with a large number of residential projects being installed, and with that, the need arises to study the generation losses derived from effects of bad project conditions. This work aims to analyze the generation losses, through simulations conditioned to some effects (shading, temperature, dirt, orientation and inclination) and compare with a system in the best installation conditions. And with that, to provide better analyzes for the best project elaboration, aiming at the best installation conditions, in order to have the best efficiency in energy generation.
