Türkiye’nin İstanbul Şehrindeki PV Panellerinin Optimum Eğim ve Yüzey Oryantasyon Açılarının Hesaplanması

Abstract

Dünyada özellikle İstanbul gibi büyük kentlerde bulunan yüksek binaların ve bu binaların meydana getirdiği gölgelerin özellikle büyük başkentlerde güneş ışınımının büyük bir kısmından yararlanılmasını engellemiş olması nedeniyle düşen güneş ışınımından yararlanma için alternatif çözümler aranmasına yol açmıştır. Güneş panelinin optimum eğim ve yönlendirme açısında ayarlanması bu çözümler arasında yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul'da (Türkiye) 41° 1' 0" K, 28° 58' 0" D koordinatlarınada, Ø = 41.0167 enlemdeki fotovoltaik panel için optimum eğim yönlendirme açısı belirlemek ve fotovoltaik panelde güneş ışınımının optimum eğim açısına azimut açısının etkisini açıklamaktır. Eğimli fotovoltaik panel yüzeyindeki toplam güneş ışınımını tahmin etmek üzere herhangi bir yüzey azimut açısını (ϒ) belirlemek için Klein ve Theilacker tarafından geliştirilen bir matematiksel model kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca güney yüz yönü için optimum eğim açısını hesaplamak üzere Liu – Jordan modeli kullanıldıktan sonra iki modelden elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmamızda, herhangi bir şehir için optimum eğim (β) ve azimut (oryantasyon) (ϒ) yüzey açılarını belirlemek üzere seçilen şehrin koordinatı sabit tutularak farklı yatay güneş ışınımları için bir Microsoft Excel elektronik tablosu oluşturulmuştur. İstanbul yatay güneş radyasyonu verileri, NASA tarafından dünya çapındaki enerji kaynaklarının (power) tahmininden elde edilerek hesaplamalar için kullanılmıştır. Optimum eğim (β) ve azimut (ϒ) açıları, yıl boyunca PV yüzeyindeki toplam radyasyonun maksimum olduğu açıların değerleri aranarak belirlenmiştir. Spesifik azimut açısı (ϒ) için (0 ila 90) derece arasında değiştiği maksimum güneş radyasyonunu gözlemlemek için optimum eğim açısının (β) değiştirilmesi gerektiği bulunmuştur. İstanbul şehrinde 0'dan büyük azimut açısı için yıllık maksimum güneş radyasyonu, 10 azimut açısına ve 30 eğim açısına eşit olduğunda 6033 Mj/m2 olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Calculate the Optimum Slope and Surface Orientation Angles of PV Panels in the City of Istanbul, Türkiye

Abstract

Because of the shadow of high buildings and huge urban development that the world is witnessing, especially in the large cities such as Istanbul, this led to prevent taking advantage from a large part of the falling solar radiation, which led to finding alternative solutions for the purpose of benefiting from the falling solar radiation. Among these solutions is the adjusting solar panel at the optimum slope and orientation angle. So the purpose of this study is to determine the optimum slope and orientation angle for a photovoltaic panel in Istanbul (Turkey) with coordinate of (41° 1′ 0″ N, 28° 58′ 0″ E), latitude of (Ø = 41.0167), and explain the effect of azimuth angle on the optimum slope angle of solar radiation on the photovoltaic panel. A mathematical model was developed by Klein and Theilacker to determine any surface azimuth angle (ϒ) was used to estimate the total solar radiation on the slope photovoltaic panel surface, also Liu – Jordan model was used for calculating the optimum tilt angle for south face direction and then comparison results with two models. In our study we used a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to determine optimum slope (β) and azimuth (orientation) (ϒ) surface angles for any city only by changing the coordinate and horizontal solar radiation of the selected city. For calculation purposes, horizontal solar radiation data for the city of Istanbul was obtained from the prediction of worldwide energy resources (power) by NASA. The optimum tilt (β) and azimuth (ϒ) angles were determined by searching for the values of angles for which the total radiation on the PV surface was maximum throughout the year. And for the specific azimuth angle (ϒ) changes from (0 to 90) degree It is found that the optimum tilt angle (β) should be changed to observe the maximum solar radiation. The annual maximum solar radiation in Istanbul city for azimuth angle greater than 0o was 6033 Mj/m2 at azimuth angle equal to 10o and tilt angle equal to 30o.
