Investigating the changes in the effective factors in power generation in ‎different seasons in photovoltaic power plants

An essential component in the construction and operation of solar power plants is identifying the factors affecting power generation in the desired areas based on the season and the amount of radiation in each season for the construction of solar power plants. Therefore, in this study, by examining the output capacity of a small 1kW power plant and analyzing effective data in different seasons, as well as by comparing practical and simulation results, we could identify useful and consistent data about factors affecting the production capacity of the plant. Then, the effect of temperature changes on each cell unit was investigated. Using a 100W YH100W-18-M panel, a practical study of the data was performed based on the STC rate. Meanwhile, the data were simulated and matched, and the final results were extracted. Finally, the diagram of the impact on the power and current of the power plant in all seasons of the year was extracted. The obtained results, namely the effective parameters in compiling this article, indicated the effectiveness of parameters such as the ambient temperature and the amount of radiation, yielding significant results in the output power of the power plant in different seasons.
