Pelatihan Perawatan Solar Cell Untuk Menjaga Unjuk Kerja Pembangkit Listrik Tenga Surya (PLTS)

The increasing demand for energy and the depletion of oil reserves are forcing humans to seek alternative energy sources. Therefore, the need for alternative electrical energy sources arises, namely, by utilizing solar panels. The importance of understanding how solar panels work and their maintenance becomes a determining factor in ensuring the optimal performance of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems. Lack of knowledge and awareness about maintenance can result in decreased efficiency and lifespan of solar panels. Users of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems are also expected to understand its maintenance procedures. Thus, the implementation of this community service activity aims to educate the public and enable them to maintain Solar Cells as Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems. This activity is carried out by providing direct training on PV system maintenance, both theoretically and practically. The impact of this community service activity is that the community can understand and maintain Solar Cells as Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, as evidenced by the evaluation results where the understanding of the training participants falls into the category of very knowledgeable, which is 80.88%

Design and Analysis of Novel Ge-GeTe PN Junction for Photovoltaics

The continuing rise in demand for energy places a similarly increasing demand to improve power production methods and efficiency. In regards to solar power generation, one major limiting factor with existing photovoltaic (PV) systems is the management of heat produced and photon interactions with the PV device. Typical devices operate within the 300-1000 nm range of the solar spectrum, greatly limiting the range of photons used for power generation. Furthermore, since infrared light

Plasmonic Gold Nanostars Incorporated into High-Efficiency Perovskite Solar Cells

Incorporating appropriate plasmonic nanostructures into photovoltaic (PV) systems is of great utility for enhancing photon absorption and thus improving device performance. Herein, the successful integration of plasmonic gold nanostars (AuNSs) into mesoporous TiO2 photoelectrodes for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is reported. The PSCs fabricated with TiO2-AuNSs photoelectrodes exhibited a device efficiency of up to 17.72 %, whereas the control cells without AuNSs showed a maximum efficiency of 15.19 %. We attribute the origin of increased device performance to enhanced light absorption and suppressed charge recombination

Electrical impact of photovoltaic plant in distributed network

This paper presents the problem of the power penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in urban networks. After a qualitative problem description, two different environments for the PV systems have been analyzed: rural and urban networks. Concerning the rural network a single line has been simulated in order to evaluate the relation between the number of PV system installed along the line and the maximum PV power installable. In the second part of the paper the possible problems due to the power penetration have been examined concerning a clustered PV system that will be installed in the city of Torino (Italy) in ambit of an EU project

Measurement-based modelling and validation of PV systems

This paper presents the analysis and results of modelling of various photovoltaic (PV) systems. Two general models are discussed and presented: an analytical model and an equivalent circuit model, both formulated for main PV technologies currently available on the market. Analytical model does not require any PV system specific input data or parameter, and is formulated as a generic performance model of a considered PV technology. Equivalent circuit model, however, requires specific input data and adjustment of the model parameters, in order to provide an accurate representation of a modelled PV system. The paper provides direct comparison of models based on manufacturer’s specification data and available measurements, as well as the discussion of obtained results

Feasibility of Solar Technology (Photovoltaic) Adoption: A Case Study on Tennessee's Poultry Industry

The advantages and limitations of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for energy generation are reviewed under various physical efficiency limits, operational design and financial assistance programs. Recent increases in utility and fuel costs in poultry production as well as public awareness of and demand for green power or renewable energy sources has given renewed interest in alternative energy sources. This study seeks to investigate the impact of alternative energy programs, grants and other incentives on the feasibility of solar PV systems in two solar regions within Tennessee's poultry industry. Preliminary results show that incentives must exceed current levels before adoption of solar PV systems would be financially beneficial.Livestock Production/Industries, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

Photovoltaics: Using Semiconductor Materials to Convert Sunlight into Electricity

Key facts: - Photovoltaic (PV) systems consist of panels coated with a thin layer of semiconducting material. The sunlight knocks electrons loose from the atoms of the semiconducting material, and as the electrons flow through the material, they produce electricity. - Almost every region in the United States has sufficient solar resources for PV systems. On partly cloudy days, PV systems produce up to 80 percent of their potential electrical capacity, and on very overcast days, they can still produce about 25 percent. - A 90-mile square PV generating station in an average solar location in the United States could produce enough electricity to meet the entire country's peak demand, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. - Current worldwide installed PV capacity is more than 2,000 megawatts (MW). The world PV market is growing at approximately 25 percent annually
