Comparação de desempenho de plantas FV com módulos fixo e com seguimento solar: estudo de caso para Juazeiro do Norte – CE.

Abstract

The present work proposes a study on two photovoltaic (PV) generation plants, located in the urban area of Juazeiro do Norte - Ceará, both connected to the Instituto Leão Sampaio de Ensino Universitário, Lagoa Seca campus. The first plant has a fixed angle of inclination and the second has Geradores Solares Heliotrópicos, equipment with the ability to track the movements of the sun and the solar rays, are sent throughout this work. The second plant with tracking has a special chapter that deals with all the activities related to its implementation, which deal with difficulties, peculiarities and solutions of problems related to its installation. The productivity and capacity factor (CF) of the two plants were calculated in order to test the environment between the two types of installation of the PV modules. The average profit of the system with solar tracker for the first four months of 2019 was 36.05%, and in February the gain was 43.68% and in March the gain was 24.19%, higher and lower gain, respectively, among the months. The mean FC of the solar tracker plant was 23.04%, with a maximum value of 26.42% in the month of February and a minimum value of 20.58% in the month of March. The average FC of the fixed plant was 16.92%, with a minimum value of 18.39% in February and 15.60% in April, respectively.
