Fifty identical
photovoltaic cells are connected in
series. Every solar cell has a light generated
current of 5.0 Amperes at 25 degrees Celsius.
With a dark saturation current of 9 x 10-10
Amperes, a parallel resistance of 8.0 Ohms and a
series resistance of 0.008 Ohms. Calculate for
the current, voltage, and power delivered when
the pn voltage of each cell is rate at 0.6 Volts.
The Phono-Solar PS250P-20-U single crystal (module) silicon photovoltaic panel system has
dimensions of 2m X 1 m and delivers 400W at 19.9% efficiency under normal solar illumination. Its
installation cost is $276, and has a warrantied lifetime of 25 years. The average insolation (solar
hours per day in NY) is about 3.5 hours. Assume there are 20,000,000 New Yorkers, that NY has a
land area of 141300 km2 , and that New Yorkers, per capita, according to the Government EIA
office, consume 606 kW-hr of electricity per capita per month (2017 numbers).
Hence estimate:
1. How many panels are needed to match the electricity demand of New York ?
2. What is the total cost ?
Calculate the weight and height required for a gravity light for home use. Assume the bulb wattage is 3W and bulb has to light continuously for one hour. Take dynamo efficiency as 85% (Gravity Light is a gravity-powered lamp designed to use in developing or third-world nations, as a replacement for kerosene lamps. It uses a bag filled with rocks or earth, attached to a cord, which slowly descends and rotates the dynamo and produces the electricity for illuminating bulb).
If above energy storage system is replaced with spring or spring bank, decide the required spring stiffness and the spring compression required.
