Optimization of Solar Energy Captation

Ridolfi Fabio - RFI

Abstract

Optimal orientation of fotovoltaic cells, in order to maximize energy capation all year round.
It was developed an algorythm able to simulate the solar astromechanics in angle and distance.
So it was possible to calculate the instant radiation flow on cell surfaces, according to their orientation and tilt.
Moreover was created a database with the statistical distribuition of clouds all year round.
With these informations the integral calculation of annual energy captation was possible.
Frontier searches for a given place (latitude and landscape) the optimal position in tilt and orientation.
