Mississippi County Community College Solar Photovoltaic Project. Final Report

摘要

A weather station was maintained in Blytheville, Arkansas, from April 1978 to April 1980. Daily totals of direct normal and global insolation are given, and an hour-by-hour printout of direct normal, global, and diffuse solar radiation for the entire two year period is included. A number of studies were conducted, including daylighting, energy conservation and management, design tradeoffs, and landscaping. The collector selection process included the writing of specifications, providing design data, reviewing the various collector designs, inspecting potential vendor facilities, monitoring on-site tests, and the final selection. A simulation was made of the entire system, including both an electrical and thermal simulation of the photovoltaic array and a thermal simulation of the various buildings. Example printouts of the simulations are included. (ERA citation 06:033124)
