摘要:In this study, experimental and numerical examinations of the performance of the conventional photovoltaic panel, concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system and water-cooled CPV system were performed. The tests are conducted under the climatic conditions of the city of Duhok, North of Iraq, on a sunny day on September 25, 2019. During the experiments, the average ambient temperature and average solar radiation were 32.6 °C and 930 W/m2, respectively. As well, MATLAB/Simulink modeling is developed by using PV module equations and the manufacturing data sheet. The empirical results showed that the ultimate panel temperature of the PV panel, concentrated PV system and water-cooled concentrated PV system is 57.5, 64.1 and 36.5 °C, respectively. In addition, the power output of the water-cooled CPV system and CPV system was improved respectively by 24.4% (effective 23%) and 10.65%. In addition, electrical efficiency was increased from 14.2% to 17% by using reflectors and water cooling with the PV panel. In the case of the water-cooled CPV system, open circuit voltage and short circuit current were increased by 9% and 5.2%, respectively. Moreover, the comparison between the experimental and numerical results agrees well.
