| Summary: | A method of sizing stand-alone photovoltaic systems regarding the
reliability to satisfy the load demand, economy of components, and
discharge depth exploited by the batteries is presented in this
work. Solar radiation data simulated by an appropriate stochastic
time series model, and not actual measurements, are used in the
sizing procedure. This offers two distinct advantages: (a) sizing
can be performed even for locations where no actual data exist,
(b) the influence of the variation of the statistical parameters
of solar radiation in sizing can be examined. The method has been
applied and tested for several representative locations all over
Greece for which monthly daily average values of solar radiation
are given by ELOT (Hellenic Organization of
Standardization). |
