Effect of Dust on Solar PV System: Measurement & Modeling Electrical Engineering Department EEEN

Effect of Dust on Solar PV System: Measurement & Modeling Electrical Engineering Department EEEN 4311: Design Methodology Product Architecture Definition Use a solar PV system to study effect of dust and other weather parameters on energy output and find an appropriate model. PV Panels, Sensors (Temp, Humidity) Objectives Learn about solar energy and PV system design Learn about Labview and use it to automate the PV system measurement Accumulate experimental data and use it to derive a model for dust effect. Publish the final results in conference or journal. Labview: data acquisition, Analysis Charge Control, Battery Load Real Product Specifications Use real solar PV panels Perform real measurement on outdoor PV system Use sensors to measure weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed …) Accumulate measurements over a long period to get a better estimate of the weather effects Future Work Study other weather effects (temperature, humidity) Find solutions to the problem of dust accumulation on the solar panel.
