A novel model and experimental validation of dust impact on grid-connected photovoltaic system performance
A novel model and experimental validation of dust impact on grid-connected photovoltaic system performance in Northern Oman August 2020 Hussein A Kazem Sohar University Miqdam Tariq Chaichan University of Technology, Iraq Ali H Al-Waeli Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Kamaruzzaman Bin Sopian Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Abstract A grid-connected photovoltaic system was tested and investigated for the entire year under desertic weather exhibited. The system contains 1.4 kW PV and 1.7 kW inverter —the data was measured every second and used to model and evaluate the system performance. However, dust is one of the essential parameters that affect grid-connected photovoltaic performance, yield, and profitability. In this paper, a proposed model has been takes into consideration the dust impact on grid-connected photovoltaic performance in a novel way. The outcomes demonstrate that the proposed model precisely anticipated the system performance and validated through experimental results.
