Overview
With these new skills and knowledge, you will be able to better understand design rules, optimize existing and planned installations and refine and improve PV systems designs. This course will specifically benefit engineers working in the design and installation of photovoltaic systems.
In the course, you will watch video lectures, complete modeling exercises and use basic MATLAB code cloud to simulate system performance (no prior experience with MATLAB is required). To further manipulate and investigate cause-effect relationships, other exercises will be provided.
Outcomes
By the end of this Photovoltaic Systems Modeling course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), you will be able to:
- Manipulate cause-effect relationships between inputs data (meteorological conditions, module properties, etc.) and output performance
- Optimize PV systems design to maximize electricity yield
- Tailor the design of PV systems to location constraints and required performance or yield.
Programme Structure
Topics include:
- Modeling of module characteristics
