Abstract |
: |
Solar energy is a promising renewable energy source that can fulfill the world’s current and future energy needs. The angle at which a photovoltaic (PV) panel faces the horizon determines the incidence of solar radiation. The incident solar radiation on PV panels could be optimized by adjusting their tilt angles that will increase the power output of the PV array. In this study, solar energy model-based research was conducted for the Saudi Arabian cities of Dhahran and Makkah. The performance of a 1 kW monocrystalline silicon PV array was investigated for both cities. Analyzing the optimal tilt angle for efficiency and performance improvement of the PV panel is challenging. The optimal tilt angle is determined by combining the data of the diffuse, direct, and the global horizontal Sun radiation. This research examined the four empirical models, i.e., Liu and Jordan, Badescu, Hay and Davies, and Hay−Davies−Klucher−Reindl (HDKR) are used by applying the electric charged particle optimization (ECPO), artificial bee colony (ABC), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to estimate the solar radiation on the tilted surfaces. The model’s results were compared to the global horizontal solar radiation based on the daily mean solar radiation value in the cities. The HDKR model presented the maximum amount of tilted surface solar radiation in the year and at different periods. In contrast, the Badescu model exhibited the weakest results of all the isotropic and anisotropic models. It is concluded that the proposed models are more effective than those derived from the ABC and PSO algorithms. The proposed models are based on the ECPO algorithm with tilted surface (IT) and PV panel output power (P) as the objective functions. Finally, using the ECPO, ABC, and PSO algorithm, all models indicated that IT received more solar radiation than the horizontal surfaces (Ig). |
