Yield modelling and validation of bifacial photovoltaic (PV) models for fixed tilted and single axis horizontal tracking systems for various climates in the world

Abstract

There are several types of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) installations systems with high direct-normal irradiance (DNI), but two of them are a cost-effective deployment strategy. They are a fixed-tilted, one axis tracking photovoltaic system with horizontal orientation north-south. The target of this thesis is to study and to make a model which to calculate total irradiance and power output of the bifacial module with a one-axis tracking system for future research of the influence and increase the share of one-axis tracking bifacial photovoltaic modules on scenarios of energy.
