COMPUTER MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF PV POWER PLANTS

Objective

THE AIM OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP COMPUTER MODELLING AND SIMULATION TECHNIQUES FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANTS.

AT THE OUTSET. EFFORT WAS CONCENTRATED ON DETERMINING THE PRECISE REQUIREMENTS OF THE THREE DISTINCT USER GROUPS IN THIS AREA, NAMELY, PLANT MANAGERS, PLANT DESIGNERS, AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS. FOLLOWING MEETINGS HELD IN MILAN (13/14 APRIL 1988), FLORENCE (MAY 1988) AND GREVE (MAY 1988), AND BASED ON THE RESULTS OF A COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY, CERTAIN PRIORITIES WERE OUTLINED. THESE INCLUDED:
(1) ANY SUCH SOFTWARE SHOULD BE USER FRIENDLY AND WELL DOCUMENTED.
(2) THERE IS A STRONG REQUIREMENT FOR COMPUTERISED, AUTOMATED DATA ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION TECHNIQUES.
(3) THERE IS A STRONG REQUIREMENT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE PV PLANT COMPONENT CHARACTERISATION DATABASE.
(4) THERE IS A STRONG REQUIREMENT FOR A COMPREHENSIVE, STANDARD FORMAT, WORLDWIDE METEOROLOGICAL DATABASE.
TO DATE, THIS PROJECT HAS SEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RANGE OF PLANT DESIGN, DATA ANALYSIS, AND DATA PRESENTATION SOFTWARE. SOURCES OF METEOROLOGICAL AND PLANT COMPONENT CHARACTERISATION DATA HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED. AT PRESENT, THE EXISTING SOFTWARE IS BEING INTEGRATED TO FORM A SELF-SUPPORTING PV SIMULATION SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Data not available

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
