Abstract

The aim of this project is to investigate the performance of photovoltaic (PV) panel influence by wind speed in Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia. A low conversion energy efficiency of the PV panel is the major problem of a PV application system. The PV panel is absorbed solar irradiance minor converted into electrical energy, and the rest is converted into heat energy. Therefore, the heat energy generated by the PV panel is increased in its operating temperature. However, PV panel is necessary to operate them at the low operating temperatures to keep the PV panel electrical efficiency at an acceptable level. In this experiment, one unit of the PV panel was limited wind flow over its surface and the other one PV panel was operated in the normal condition. The operating temperature of the PV panel with wind speed is less than the PV panel without wind speed. This is due to wind flow over the surface of the PV panel can enhance heat extraction from the PV panel. Hence, PV panel with wind speed can generate a higher output power than that without wind speed. This improvement output performance of PV panel will have an important contribution to PV application systems.

Abstract

 The low conversion energy efficiency of solar panel is affected by the several environmental issues. Solar radiation, ambient temperature, dust accumulation and wind velocity are the environmental problems. This main goal of this paper is to understanding the solar panel behavior under varying of wind velocity amounts. A three-dimension (3-D) model of solar panel is conducted in the present investigation. The solar panel model is simulated under given operating condition and different amounts of wind velocity. Four different of wind velocity value of 0 m/s, 0.43 m/s, 2.5 m/s and 6.95 m/s was selected to examine the solar panel performance. The simulation results are obtained with ANSYS simulation software. The temperature distribution of the solar panel model will be discussed in this current paper. The simulation result is showed highest wind velocity can be provided good cooling effect for the solar panel model in order to enable the solar panel can be operated to perform well at lower temperature.
