COMPARISON AND ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRICITY GENERATION CAPACITY FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF PV SOLAR PLANTS OF 1MW IN SOKO BANJA, SERBIA

Abstract

This paper gives the results of the electricity generated by the fixed, one-axis and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant of 1 MW with flat PV panels made of monocrystalline silicon which is to be built in the area of Soko banja (spa in Serbia). Further on follows a description of the functioning of the fixed and one-axis and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant. For the calculation of the electricity generated by these plants PVGIS program from the Internet was used. Calculations have shown that fixed PV solar plant power of 1 MW, solar modules of monocrystalline silicon yield 1130000 kWh power output, one-axis tracking PV solar plant yields 1420000 kWh, and dual-axis tracking PV solar plant yields 1450000 kWh of electricity. Electricity generated by the fixed PV solar plant could satisfy 86% of the annual needs for the electricity of the "Zdravljak" hotel and the special "Novi stacionar" hospital in Soko banja. This paper was done with the financial support of the Project TR 33009 approved by the Ministry of Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia
