3 1. Energy Yield

4 2-axial tracking Without tracking 2-axial tracking + 40 %

5 Distribution of irradiance Germany Site of facility has to be considered Technology choice South Italy 6th TFP Würzburg 2010, H.D. Mohring (ZSW)

6 Energy-Yield Today my PV-facility has 150 kwh powe. ENERGY!

7 Energy Yield Definition: Irradiance Facility size El. Energy

8 Energy-Yield Y F = t vo = E a P G0 [ kwh/kwp a ] = [ h/a ] full load hours Ea = annual energy yield (EAC fed into the grid) P G0 = PV nominal generator power

9 Energy-Yield: Different Technologies type full load hours [h] Photovoltaic free field 1000 Photovoltaic facade 650 Photovoltaic desert 2000 Wind power onshore 2000 Wind power offshore 3000 Hydro power (Danube river) 6000 Nuclear / brown coal 8000

10 Reminder: Composition of the irradiance H D H B H R b E, G, H Irradiance [kwh/m 2 ] Direct Irradiance Diffuse Irradiance Reflected (diffuse) Irradiance

11 Yield on the tilted plane: reminder

12 Reminder: Cooling and energy yield Yield: Y x Y 90 3 x Y 90 Convection Cooling

13 Yield Quality of generators Generator yield Radiation yield (Reference yield) Y A = E DC P G0 Y R = H G G 0 E a = Generator yield DC H G = irradiated energy (kwh /m2) G 0 = STC irradiance (1kW/m2) Generator losses L C = Y R Y A Inverter ultilization ratio DC to AC n l = Y F Y A Performance Ratio PR = Y F Y R

14 Losses: Optical 100% Air Solar glass ~ 1 % absorption 96% 95% ~ 4 % reflection % ~ 4 % reflection: with coupling 0% Solar cell

15 Ohmic losses A M 2 x L 1% U M x I MPP ST x k

16 How2: Ohmic losses What is the maximum length of a 6mm 2 PV-cable, in order to keep the ohmic losses below 1% for y system voltage of 100V? Specific resistance [ mm 2 /m] R = * L / F = 1/ L: Length, F: area : el. conductivity Voltage of system: U = R *I U = (L* I) / ( * F) L = 0.5 * ( 0.01 *U* * F) / I with: U =100 V, F = 6 mm 2, I ~ 6 A, (Cu) = 56 m / mm 2 L = 23 m

17 Losses through Shading Shading diagram (manual or automated)

33 Nuclear power: complex, final risk of W.C.S.

34 Fossiles mainly fuelling Europe: e.g. Lignite Coal in GER Astrid Schneider, Solar architect

35 Origin of cost reduction Electricity costs decrease Production costs decrease & Electricity costs decrease Efficiency increases at the same production costs & Electricity costs decrease Life time increases at same production costs

36 Origin of cost reduction 5 4 4: Cr Si: New Generation 5: TF: New Gen. & Nano-Physics, QT

37 Costs of electricity C = I a + C var Costs of electricity [ / kwh elektr. ] Y F C costs per kwh I investment a annuity Y F full load hours [h] = [kwh/kw p ] C var running costs kwh [ /kwh] (~ 0.7%-1% I) annuity a z, N = 1 + z N z 1 + z N 1 z interest rate (2%-6%) N run time 20a-30a)
