Software aided production value comparison of a solar power plant
Keywords:
fotovoltaic, HOMER design, PVGIS
Abstract
In this study, electricity production values of a solar power plant belonging to Amasya University located in Amasya/Turkey were compared with the results of some solar energy calculation programs. When the comparison results are analysed, it can be seen that the production results of used calculation programs are less than the actual production of the plant. While the difference between actual production and HOMER calculation program is +6,69%, the difference between actual production and PVGIS stands out +10,62%. In consideration of these results, HOMER calculation program has been achieved closer results for facilities in Amasya region..
