Consider a solar PV plant with the following specific conditions: Analysis period: 1 year Measured average solar irradiation intensity in 1 year: 150 kWh/m² Generator area of the PV plant: 10 m² Efficiency factor of the PV modules: 15% Electrical energy actually exported by plant to grid: 135 kWh Calculate the performance ratio.
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
Voltage equation for Dc shunt generator, Eb = V + Ia*Ra V = Ish*Rsh Ish = 200/100 = 2 A Eb = V + Ia*Ra 20 = Ia*Ra Ia = 20/0.2 = 100 A I = 100 - 2 = 98 A
Short circuit current is the current passing through a solar cell when voltage is zero across the solar cell, which happens when a solar cell is short circuited. Usually it is denoted Isc. solar cell have short-circuit currents between about 28 mA/cm² and 35 mA/cm²
