Extracting technical specifications of a solar panel type to design a 10 mw hybrid power plant

Abstract

This paper focuses on the design of a 10 MW hybrid power plant using the technical specifications (data sheet ) of an indust rial solar panel. The main purpose was to find out the exact electrical properties of the solar panel specialy with conjunction to its temperature, to optimize overall output energy. We first describe the most important types of solar power plants and afterwards focus on elect ric plant. Subsequent ly, we use a suitable mathematical algorithm to find required, exact technical specifications for the photovoltaic panels from the manufacturer's general data set. After designing and optimizing the elect ric powered plant, explanation on the thermal power calculat ion is prov ided for using in the subsequent criteria. In the phase of thermal power design, the meteorological information related to the cit y of Arzoyeh of Kerman (28° 27′ 35.5″ N, 56° 21′ 56.88″ E) has been introduced into the Modelica, a powerful engineering open source software. Accordingly, a proper code was writ ten to extract both interrelated thermal and elect rical energies in the whole months during the year along with its corresponding efficiency. At the end of the work, t rade off solut ions for increasing the efficiency in different condit ions and st ructures suggested, calculated, and compared.
