PV outdoor tests and 12 years of Mugla experiences
Özet
In this paper, the electricity yield of photovoltaic power plant applications in the main campus of Mugla Sitki Kocman University, Turkey is presented. There are four small scale grid connected photovoltaic power plants installed in the main campus. They are installed on the top of Mentese Library of Mugla Sitki Kocman University, on the roof of Turkevi Student Cafeteria, on the facade and on the east and west towers of Staff's Block of the Building of Education Faculty and two double axis tracking systems. The systems are installed in 2001, 2003, 2008 and 2009 with rated powers between 10 kWp and 40 kWp. There are also several lamp-posts at the campus in various locations. All power plants are monitored from the start up and the collected data are analysed in several conference proceedings and papers individually. This paper summarizes the electricity yield and the performance of photovoltaic power plants by the way that indicator of system quality which is called performance ratio (PR) and efficiency for each photovoltaic power plants, after their installation and also their presentation is itemized.
