(2016)The present paper focuses on the energy system of the municipality of Bressanone-Brixen, located in the North of Italy. The aim of this paper is to investigate various possible energy scenarios for this case study in order ... -
BiPV System Performance and Efficiency Drops: Overview on PV Module Temperature Conditions of Different Module Types
(2014)A typical problem of BiPV systems (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) is the power loss due to temperature increase, because modules often operate close to the building envelope with low ventilation. It is thus essential ... -
Experimental investigation of a low cost passive strategy to improve the performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic systems
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2015)A typical problem of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BiPV) is the power loss due to temperature increase caused by limited cooling compared to free standing photovoltaic (PV) systems. Higher operating temperatures have ... -
Photovoltaic generation forecast for power transmission scheduling: A real case study
(2018)The increased penetration of photovoltaic power introduces new challenges for the stability of the electrical grid, both at the local and national level. Many different effects are caused by high solar power injection into ... -
Deterministic and stochastic approaches for day ahead solar power forecasting
(2016)Photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting has the potential to mitigate some of effects of resource variability caused by high solar power penetration into the electricity grid. Two main methods are currently used for PV power ... -
Comparison of Statistical and Deterministic Smoothing Methods to Reduce the Uncertainty of Performance Loss Rate Estimates
(2018)With the large increase of installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity introduced in the energy system, one aspect that becomes increasingly important is the long-term reliability of the energy output and, thus, the estimation ... -
Review of Statistical and Analytical Degradation Models for Photovoltaic Modules and Systems as Well as Related Improvements
(2018)In this work, we investigate practical approaches of available degradation models and their usage in photovoltaic (PV) modules and systems. On the one hand, degradation prediction of models is described for the calculation ...
