Summary: | The performance of photovoltaic (PV) generator is affected by outdoor conditions. Outdoor testing consists installing a generator, and collecting electrical parameters data and climatic data over a certain period of time. It can also include the study of long-term performance under real work conditions. Tests are operated in Applied Research in Renewable Energy (URAER) located in desert region of Ghardaïa in southern Algeria characterized by high irradiation and temperature levels. The degradation of PV generator with temperature and time exposure to sunlight contributes significantly to the final output from the PV generator, as the output reduces each year. This paper presents an analytical and experimental evaluation of the performance of generator. First, this study used the data provided by analyzer PV (Solmetric PVA-600) translated to standard conditions. Secondly, it based on the results of modeling and simulation with MATLAB of the PV field of the mini-photovoltaic plant connected to the grid installed in the URAER |
