  1. 11. Should we point them away from the sun? -A study in PV spectral tracking in a Scandinavian climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

    Author : Petter Stefansson; [2015]
    Keywords : PV spectral response.; radiative transfer model; spectral mismatch factor; spectral irradiance; Solar tracking; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Conventional photovoltaic solar tracking is commonly done by aligning the surface normal of a PV module with the direction from which direct solar irradiation is coming from. While this tracking design has proven to perform well in sunny climates, solar tracking is altogether less common in northern climates where the direct solar irradiance is weaker. READ MORE

  3. 12. Sun position and PV panels : a model to determine the best orientation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Filippo Gualla; [2015]
    Keywords : orientation angle; solar radiation; DSM; LiDAR; Python modelling; GIS; Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; geography; photovoltaic systems; Lund municipality; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The correct positioning of photovoltaic panels is essential to ensure the maximum production of electrical energy. Two parameters are involved in this: the tilt angle and the angle of orientation. In the literature, though, the orientation angle receives little attention. READ MORE

  4. 13. Residential PV versus Ground Mounted PV - Comparing the cost of produced electricity

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Sabina Larsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Solar energy; Photovoltaic systems; residential PV; ground mounted PV; economy; SAM; land use; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The electricity produced from photovoltaics represents only a small fraction of the total electricity consumption in Sweden, but the installed capacity in Sweden doubled for the fourth year in a row in 2014. If this trend continues it is both interesting and important to discuss where we want to see PV systems in our future society. READ MORE

  5. 14. Determination of an Optimum Sector Size for Plan Position Indicator Measurements using a Long Range Coherent Scanning Atmospheric Doppler LiDAR

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Elliot Simon; [2015]
    Keywords : LiDAR; WindScanner; PPI; Sector Scan; Dual Doppler; Remote Sensing; Wind Measurement;

    Abstract : As wind energy plants continue to grow in size and complexity, advanced measurement technologies such as scanning Doppler LiDAR are essential for assessing site conditions and prospecting new development areas.   The RUNE project was initiated to determine best practices for the use of scanning LiDARs in resource assessments for near shore wind farms.

  6. 15. Optimization of a Photovoltaic System at an Office Complex : A Case Study of Photovoltaics at PLAN4 Uppsala Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Author : Emma Annegren; David Hällqvist; Salander Karin; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Photovoltaics is a method for converting sunlight into electricity by using PV devices. This report focuses on a pilot project of a PV system installed at the rooftop of an office complex, PLAN4 in Uppsala. The PV system has been evaluated with respect to the produced electricity and economic profitability. READ MORE
