Long term outdoor performance monitoring is the ultimate method to capture the long term performance characteristics of PV devices. As time consuming as this process might be, it is the only way in which the local environmental condition versus PV device characteristics may be captured when making investment decisions. This data needs to be captured at least once through the seasonal cycle. It needs to be correlated to the environmental conditions, this monitoring climatic conditions is a requirement. Solar irradiation conditions must be monitored over a range of inclination angles - direct, diffuse and reflected components must be ideally captured separately. The panels must be held at maximum power generating point through the varying illumination conditions. Periodic IV traces must be captured, in addition to the power output to understand mechanisms of degradation, if present. Furthermore, the IV curves must be summarized in terms of relevant performance metrics. This work describes an outdoor testing facility that addresses all the aforementioned requirements. Reliable equipment selections coupled with adequate modelling strategies allow for the generation of a robust and accessible database of performance data. (C) 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Long term outdoor performances of three different on-grid PV arrays in central Anatolia - An extended analysis ÖZDEN, TALAT; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Turan, Raşit (2017-02-01) Long term outdoor testing of the PV systems at different climatic conditions or different systems under the same ambient conditions are extremely important in producing policies for the transition to renewables. The present research is the testing of three different PV systems under the same climatic conditions of central Anatolia, after four years of operation. The systems consist of a mono-Si, an a-Si thin film and a CdTe thin film arrays. Different calculation procedures of the input solar irradiation on...
LONG TERM PERFORMANCE AND DEGRADATION RATES OF PV MODULES IN CENTRAL ANATOLIA Cantürk, Zeynep; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Physics (2021-9-09) Outdoor tests of photovoltaic modules are crucial for the market, and technological development. It is vital for manufacturers and researchers to conduct tests not only in the long term but also in different climatic conditions. In this thesis, 12 modules are tested in Middle Anatolia climate conditions for nine years in three different module groups, which are mono-crystalline (Mono-Si-1 & 2 & 3, Bifi-Mono-Si, HIT), polycrystalline (Poly-Si-1 & 2), and thin films (CIS-1 & 2, CIGS-1 & 2, µSi/a-Si). We analy...
A subspace-aware kelly's detector using reduced secondary data with fast and slow time preprocessing Saraç, Uğur Berkay; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer (2019-04-01) In homogeneous clutter environments, as the number of secondary cells used increases and eventually goes to infinity, the performance of the adaptive detectors increase and eventually goes to the performance of the max-SINR filter. However, this is not the case when the clutter is heterogeneous. In such environments, the adaptive detectors need to use small numbers of secondary cells. In such cases, reducing the dimension of the space in which the estimation occurs increases the detection performance. It is...
A Novel Transceiver Architecture for Highly Dispersive NOMA Channels Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (2018-06-06) When the requirements of internet of things (IoT) and machine-type communication (MTC) are considered, the 5G technology needs to support high spectral efficiency and massive connectivity of users/devices, and the demand for low latency, short packet duration, low power, high mobility and diverse service types. In this paper, first a new multiple access technique belonging to the class of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based on multi-code signaling (MCS) is proposed for the uplink data transmission m...
A fully integrated autonomous power management system with high power capacity and novel MPPT for thermoelectric energy harvesters in IoT/wearable applications Tabrizi, Hamed Osouli; Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2017-11-17) This paper reports a fully integrated autonomous power management system for thermoelectric energy harvesting with application in batteryless IoT/Wearable devices. The novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm does not require open circuit voltage measurement. The proposed system delivers 0.5 mA current with 1 V regulated output based on simulations, which is the highest output current for a fully integrated converter reported in the literature for ultra-low voltage applications, to the best knowl...
