ANALYSIS OF OPTIMUM TILT ANGLE OF SOLAR POWER PLANT IN MINBU (MAGWAY REGION)
Abstract
- The photovoltaic (PV) panel performance is mainly influenced by its tilt angle, orientation, climatic conditions and geographic location of solar panels, which are used to get the maximum conversion of sunlight into solar electricity. In order to have maximum annual average incident solar energy on the surface of PV system, it is required to determine the optimum tilt angle. Optimization of tilt angle ensures the maximum energy generation output and area of PV modules were calculated. Several simplified design procedures for solar energy systems require monthly average meteorological data. In this paper proposes an algorithm to calculate the optimum tilt angle of solar panels method was developed by S. A. Klein by using NASA Solar Radiation Data Base, consisting of solar radiation and meteorological data all over the world. The output power of solar PV modules with the various incident angle of solar radiation was determined. According to the results, the average optimum angle (the best angle) of inclination of the solar panels is β = 25˚ for Minbu solar power plant in Magway region. After completion of study, an optimum plan can be formulated for practical set ups which can lead to maximum efficiency of solar power generation.
