The ever-increasing pressure for governments, corporations, and the communities at-large to meet the target of Zero Net Emissions by 2050 requires the urgent need to decarbonize the electricity generation. Given that the time to 2050 from today is about 25 years and the cycle of new technology to move from the research laboratory to the market and becomes scalable is also about 25 years, if not more, the importance and significance of solar photovoltaic technologies for electricity generation to meet the previously mentioned target are unquestionable. From the near low importance system level contribution of solar PV of 5-10kW size, we have now moved to Megawatts and Gigawatts scale of solar PV systems integrated with electricity grids. However, for both small roof top type systems to utility giga scale ones, their performance depends upon understanding the operation of the complex photovoltaic devices and the way they are used to build large scale systems.
Analysis, modeling and simulation of both solar photovoltaic devices and systems are the most crucial skills required for an optimized design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the systems to ensure maximum energy yield hence income, and highest performance hence maximum life system expectancy.
This PV Modelling Simulation and Analysis training course provides the necessary knowledge, skills, and tools to ensure that participants gain not just the understanding of solar PV technologies but also master them.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- The circuit level model of a solar PV cell, module, array, and its performance that varies according to a number of parameters including temperature that is a crucial parameter to the system design.
- The importance of understanding the series connection of solar PV cells, modules, panels, and arrays is affected by just a single component and hence design optimization is crucial.
- The design philosophy of a given system based on the location and local weather conditions that affect not just the performance but also the maintenance and the operation of the system itself.
- The difference in the modelling thinking between assessing available solar resources and system component selection, and architecture that ultimately would affect reliability.
- The significance of energy yield predicted by simulation and software and its comparison with the actual system output that reveals vital information regarding the state of health of system components and the required actions linked to predicted maintenance.
By the end of this PV Modelling Simulation and Analysis training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the solar photovoltaic device and its physics theory to generate electricity from the sun.
- Discuss critically the advantages and drawbacks of various photovoltaic silicon and non-silicon-based devices.
- Select for a given location solar PV panels from the market where the overwhelming data and specifications of such panels would require a multiple criteria-based decision-making process.
- Evaluate for the selected solar PV panels the performance of a system designed based on a specific architecture.
- Utilize forecasting methods to continually assess the energy yield of the system in order to develop energy market trading procedures.
Participants to this PV Modelling Simulation and Analysis training course will receive a thorough training on the subjects covered by the seminar outline with the Tutor utilising a variety of proven adult learning, teaching, and facilitation techniques. Training course methodology includes the use of digital media, sourcing actual materials regarding specifications and performance of devices and systems available in the market. Use of actual manufacturer information to deliver for a selected location a complete system design where delegates have to decide all the key parameters. Delegates would be able to support with evidence and fully justify their decision against criteria such as cost and in particular life cycle cost.
