Abstract

In this paper, comparative analyses of three NOCT-based cell temperature models are presented. The models are the HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software cell temperature, Ross cell temperature model and Davis and Rauschenbach cell temperature model. Noticeably, unlike PVSysts software, the three models do not include the effect of wind speed. Three models are analyzed using the meteorological data of a site in Ibeno, Akwa Ibom state, Nigeria. The results showed that among the three NOCT-based cell temperature models, the Ross model has the highest cell temperature for any given ambient temperature and solar irradiance. The HOMER Davis and Rauschenbach models have almost the same cell temperature values but in all the occasions, the HOMER model gives the lowest cell temperature among the three models. Equally, Ross model has the lowest annual energy yield and the highest thermal loss whereas the HOMER model has the highest annual energy yield and the lowest thermal loss.
