Modeling and Technical-Economic Optimization of Electricity Supply Network by Three Photovoltaic Systems

摘要: To attain an ongoing electricity economy, developing novel wide-spread supply systems based on diverse energy resour-ces are critically important. Several photovoltaic (PV)technologies exist, which cause various pathways to produce elec-tricity from solar energy. This paper evaluates the competitionbetween three influential technologies photovoltaictechnique find optimal for satisfying electric-ity demand: (1) multicrystalline silicon; (2) copper, indium, gal-lium, and selenium (CIGS); (3) multijunction. Besides thetechnical factors, there other effective parameters such ascost, operability, feasibility, capacity that should be consid-ered when assessing different as viablelong-term alternatives. aid this decision-making process, ageneric optimization-based model was developed long-range planning design of future supplysystem By applying dynamic programmingtechniques, is capable identifying invest-ment strategies integrated system configurations fromthe many The features capabilities modelwere shown through application Iran a case study.[DOI: 10.1115/1.4025120]Keywords: optimization model, silicon PV, CIGSPV, multijunction
