Analysis on Solar Energy Application Based on a Nonlinear Optimizing Mathematical Model of Photovoltaic Apartment

Article Preview

Abstract:

Self-sufficient photovoltaic apartment is a potential market in PV industry. The initial costs and proceeds of a self-breeding photovoltaic apartment are essential to its future application. In order to analysis the feasibility of the photovoltaic apartment, a mathematical model is built. This nonlinear optimizing model includes the selection and laying scheme of PV cells and invertors according to different illumination conditions. Solving the model leads to a NP-completion problem so greedy algorithm is used to calculate the cost, proceed and payback period of photovoltaic apartment. The model is tested upon the meteorological data of Datong City, Shanxi Province. The result shows that the payback period is within 30 years indicating a prospect of PV industry.
