Abstract: (4122 Views)
In this study, techno-economic comparison of monocrystalline and concentrating photovoltaic power plants for the selected cities of Kerman province was carried out. After modeling the implied photovoltaic systems and validating the modeling results of the monocrystslline photovoltaic system with the measured data of an installed 5kW monocrystalline photovoltaic power plant at the Graduate University of Advanced Technology, daily and yearly electrical energies production analysis for both plants was presented. Then, the electrical efficiency and the performance factors, including capacity factor, final yield, reference yield and the performance ratio were determined. The economic analysis results showed that the northern cities of Kerman province had more favorable economic indicators, so internal rate of return, balanced cost of electricity, net present value, and benefit-cost ratio for the monocrystal photovoltaic plant were 21-22.1%, 13.3-13.9 dollars per kilowatt, 2-4.2 thousand dollars, and 1.04-1.09, respectively and for the concentrating photovoltaic plant were 24.9-28.6%, 8.8-10.2 dollars per kilowatt, 17.1-30.5 thousand dollars, and 1.24-1.43, respectively. Finally, a comprehensive comparison was made between the conventional PV systems and the CPV system for two scenarios: the same capital investment cost and the same nominal installed power. Results showed that at both scenarios, the concentrating photovoltaic is superior to the monocrystalline PV plant, in a way that Kerman and Jiroft cities, as the best cities, had the net present value of 30.5 thousand dollars and 21 thousand dollars, respectively.
