Solar module performance at low radiation and oblique incidence light
University
TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences
Fields
Electrical Engineering
Energy Engineering
Duration
4-6 months
Deadline
February 15 for fall internship
October 1 for spring internship
Supervisor
Prof. Dr. Ulf Blieske
Project description
Cologne University of Applied Sciences has recently started a program which investigates oblique incidence light and low radiation behavior of different solar modules. A number of module parameters are measured as a function of incident angle and radiation in a test installation on the roof top of the Universities library. Out of these data, the annual energy yield of the PV-systems can be calculated with the help of computer simulation tools.
Tasks
Electric measurement with an electronic load system, labview, PV-Sol and other type of simulation, optimization of a tracking s
Requirements
Knowledge in electrical engineering, physics and if possible solar energy
Languages
If possible German, however, English is acceptable
Possible beginnings
September/October for fall internship
March for spring internship
Earlier/later beginnings may be possible depending on professor's availability
Credits
Upon agreement
Payment
