Project Title | Smart Optical System For Sun Simulator Prototype |
Project PI | Prof. Dr. Aref Alaiwa |
Project Abstract |
The recent increased interest in renewable energy has created a need for research in the area of solar technology. The rapid and accurate measurement of the characteristics of fabricated photovoltaic modules cannot be overemphasized. Even though photovoltaic modules will be used under a variety of outdoor solar illumination conditions, they must be tested under standard conditions to assure coincidence between the manufacturer and the customer demands. This project outlines the design and implementation of the optical system for sun simulator that can be used in a laboratory configuration to test the photovoltaic modules. The proposed solar simulator use lamp sources and air mass filters to match the spectrum of light emitted by the sun. The suggested lamps allow the design of an optical system that produces intense, collimated beams. The total optical system is tested in real environments to evaluate its functionality. The front panel software is used for system monitoring and control.
