In order to efficiently use solar energy to generate electrical power, three-dimensional (3D) Fibonacci number photovoltaic modules (FPMs), which are designed in part based on natural plant leaf arrangements were proposed. It has been also proposed the large-scale power generation systems using multiple FPMs (hereinafter, power generation forests), and shown its power generation characteristics by...
As a method of increasing electric power generation in a size-limited installation area, photovoltaic (PV) modules assembled with a three-dimensional (3D) structure that is based on the Fibonacci sequence (hereafter referred to as FPMs) have proven effective. Since the power generation of a 1/3 phyllotaxis, two-stage FPM exceeds that of a planar module, it may be possible to construct mega-solar sized...
The economic efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) and battery systems for residential power distribution is evaluated quantitatively for the first time under a rate system using electricity prices that change at hourly intervals (i.e., real-time pricing, RTP). The evaluation model assumes that the option price of a feed-in tariff (FIT) decreases continuously. The proposed operational method focuses on...
One factor that reduces the output of photovoltaic module is direct blocking of light by shadows and by objects such as leaves and airborne dust. The output reduction due to vehicle exhaust and particles in the atmosphere is generally estimated to be about several % [2], but this figure may be affected by differences in areas, which may arise from variations in particle size, color or some other factor...
