“…From the previous analysis, it is clear that the orientation for maximum insolation for fixed-tilt angle plants in the South. For seasonal tilt angles, we only change the tilt angle and freeze the azimuth angle in the south direction (in Northern Hemisphere) [36] [39]. So there is a need to calculate the tilt angle for different seasons according to month [16][17][18][19].…”

Solar insolation is sun radiation converted to electrical energy and injected into the utility network using grid-connected solar power plants. Recently, in many nations' electricity grids, the share of power generated using solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants is rapidly increasing. In this case study, solar insolation levels on different latitudes with fix & two seasonal tilt angles have been measured using Meteonorm ® software. For these latitudes, fourteen airport locations have been chosen across the globe. From the case study, it has been evident that a double seasonal tilt angle provides more global insolation as compared to fix tilt angle with a suitable azimuth angle. There is also a reduction in insolation level at fixed and two seasonal tilt angles if going away from the equator. Further, up to three seasonal tilt angles, there is sufficient enhancement has been observed in solar insolation. It is also analyzed that for multiple seasonal tilt angle based solar PV Plant, month-wise tilt angle selection is more important. Further Average, Rectangular, and Trapezoidal methods have been used for estimation of cumulative inclined insolation for a specific period and compared. From the comparison, the trapezoidal method has been found optimal for accurate estimation of cumulative inclined insolation.

This paper aims to assess the impact of different key factors on the optimized design and performance of grid connected photovoltaic (PV) power plants, as such key factors can lead to re-design the PV plant and affect its optimum performance. The impact on the optimized design and performance of the PV plant is achieved by considering each factor individually. A comprehensive analysis is conducted on nine factors such as; three objectives are predefined, five recent optimization approaches, three different locations around the world, changes in solar irradiance, ambient temperature, and wind speed levels, variation in the available area, PV module type and inverters size. The performance of the PV plant is evaluated for each factor based on five performance parameters such as; energy yield, sizing ratio, performance ratio, ground cover ratio, and energy losses. The results show that the geographic location, a change in meteorological conditions levels, and an increase or decrease in the available area require the redesign of the PV plant. A change in inverter size and PV module type has a significant impact on the configuration of the PV plant leading to an increase in the cost of energy. The predefined objectives and proposed optimization methods can affect the PV plant design by producing completely different structures. Furthermore, most PV plant performance parameters are significantly changed due to the variation of these factors. The results also show the environmental benefit of the PV plant and the great potential to avoid green-house gas emissions from the atmosphere.

“…To get PV's efficient performance, the operating point should be adapted near to MPP based on several proposed control strategies [4]- [8]. PV performance is assessed under different environomental condtions [9], [10]. To verify how the selected controller is suitable before its implementation, an accurate simulation should be well predesigned, prepared and used.…”

In this paper, a comprehensive methodology based on coot bird metahurestic optimizer called CBMO is presented aiming to demonstrate the performance of solar units under various operating and loading scenarios. The CBMO is capable to deal with different complicated behavior in both harmonized or disorderly phases and can define its major parameters with proofed indicators. It can convey from exploration state to exploitation state to realize a fast and better convergence without trapping in local minima. At first stage of this effort, the optimal values of uncertain parameters of well-known benchmarking PV units under study are cropped with compulsory validations and comparisons. It can be mentioned here both single-and doublediode models of such units are utilized, and their unknown parameters are emphasized. Then, a Simulink detailed model is built-up employing the obtained parameters with various types of connected loads such as static resistive load and dynamic DC motor to appraise the operating performance of such units. It is worth mentioning that the performance of solar units under varied sun radiations and cell temperatures are made along the presented work. To sum up, it can be empathized that the CBMO performs well, and its results are very competitive to those available in the literature.
