Simulação de três tecnologias de painéis fotovoltaicos com diferentes arranjos para a operação de um inversor projetado

Abstract

This study performs a comparative analysis of three photovoltaic module technologies 4 heterojunction with intrinsic layer (HiT, model CS6R-420H-AG), copper, indium, gallium (CIGS, model CIGS-3600A1) and monocrystalline half-cell (model CS3W-455MS) 4 configured in different arrangements and subjected to irradiance and temperature conditions in the Medianeira3PR region. The evaluation was conducted through computational simulation in the PVsyst software, using as parameters the days of maximum and minimum monthly solar irradiation, totaling 24 representative days. The current-voltage (I3V) and power-voltage (P3V) curves were generated in the MATLAB environment, and the results were compared with the minimum operational limits (190 V and 1 A) of a previously designed inverter. The HiT module required two more panels than the other two types of modules due to the lower nominal power provided by the manufacturer. The HiT remained in operation throughout the simulated daily interval, providing the highest power among the three technologies considered. The CIGS module with five panels in series was not able to provide the minimum current at certain times. The results reinforce the importance of considering not only the nominal efficiency, but also the dynamic behavior of the panels under real operating conditions when sizing photovoltaic systems.
