Studies Regarding Photovoltaic Solar Energy Potential on Pristol Area, Mehedinti County

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper makes an assessment of the long term solar resource for the location of a photovoltaic solar park in the Pristol, Mehedinti County, Romania. Reference data and observations in the proximity of the solar park location were limited, and the analysis was based on a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) Meteonorm developed to represent the behavior of the solar resource at the site of Photovoltaic Solar Park. The level of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) was evaluated as 1376 kWh/m2/year, while values for direct normal irradiance (DNI) and diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI), the resulting values were 1553 kWh/m2/year and 606 kWh/m2/year, respectively, provided for long-term behavior.
