ASSESSMENT OF PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANTS USING FIXED TILT, SINGLE AXIS AND TWO AXIS TRACKING SYSTEMS

摘要

This paper addresses the technical (using performance parameters such as Yield, Performance Ratio and Capacity Factor) and economic (using the Levelised Cost of Energy - LCOE) ev aluation of a 2 MW photovoltaic solar power plant to be installed in the municipality of Jaguari-RS, comparing two different technologies of photovoltaic modules (multicrystalline silicon and thin-film cadmium telluride) and three different mounting systems (stationary, single axis tracker and two axes tracker), totalizing six different topologies.
