The objective of this paper is to investigate the behavior of the poly crystalline photovoltaic field installed in the site of Oued Nechou in Ghardaia, Algeria. The cellule, panel, and array have been modeled and simulated in STC then in various input conditions in order to understand the performances of this PV plant. Moreover, the poly crystalline PV plant has been simulated using real climate data in order to identify the potential of solar energy in the studied area and evaluate the PV plant. According to the results, it should be highlighted that the environmental factors, particularly the sun irradiation and temperature, have a significant impact on the photovoltaic system's performance, which results in fluctuations in electrical energy output and performance ratio. Additionally, they show that the location has significant solar potential, which enables it to produce electricity that is acceptable despite the local environment, this encourages the construction of new PV plants there.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
