Dynamic Performance Comparison of the Different PV Modules with Real Data

Abstract

Nowadays, the photovoltaic panel is an important source for electricity production and one of the preferable renewable resources. Many companies have started to produce for increasing PV panel demand. It is a fact that the performance of PV panels under real environmental conditions in the application area will affect the benefit to be obtained from the application and investment to be made. In this study, Istanbul, Turkey, for the five most widely sold in the market PV panels of MATLAB/Simulink models using performance comparison minutes and measured weather data created in the environment is made. With the related study, the effects of using dynamic analysis to be obtained from more detailed simulation studies have been revealed instead of feasibility calculations to be made using only the data specified in the technical document.
