A Novel Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) Power Plant Layout Design for Deployment in Long and Narrow Space

Abstract

Abstract Solar photovoltaic (SPV) power plants have evolved as an integral component of an environmentally responsible solution for the generation of electricity. This is because there is an ongoing and growing need for renewable sources of energy. The widespread installation of large-scale SPV systems has a number of challenges, one of which is the restricted availability of land in metropolitan and densely populated locations. This study suggests a ground-breaking strategy for developing a unique SPV power plant design that is best for deployment in long and narrow locations, such as highways, trains, and other linear infrastructures. This architecture is optimized for deployment in these types of environments since it maximizes space utilization. MATLAB is the tool that the authors of this study utilize in order to simulate the results. The study provides a solid foundation for enhancing energy system efficiency, and the future looks bright for both the application of these results and the development and implementation of sustainable solutions in the energy sector.
