Abstract

The article considers the method of calculating solar insolation, the algorithm and the program operation for calculating insolation, the graphs are obtained showing the change in solar radiation due to the influence of weather factors and the location of solar-heat collectors installation. The results of the study of the regionally adapted photoelectric power plant using the developed computer model in the Simulink program are presented. The developed model allows to investigate the influence of the main input parameters, such as: latitude and longitude of the power plant installation, difference between the local official time and Greenwich Mean Time, inclination angle of the solar panel, the simulated day, atmospheric transparency factor, albedo and azimuth angle on the insolation intensity of the photoelectric power plant. The obtained dependences can be taken into account in the optimization of power supply systems that use solar energy conversion.
