Abstract The thesis studies the effect of the electric fields resulted from over-head transmission lines on the photovoltaic cells. The thesis research comprises modeling of Photovoltaic using finite element method on COMSOL multiphysics software. The effect of light wave and electric field waves has been introduced to the model to study their effect on Photovoltaic model. The study is built on comparing the electrical performance parameters of the Photovoltaic module like voltage, current and power-voltage curve in the existences and absence of the transmission line fields. The study has been supported with practical measurements for photovoltaic module placed under the transmission line subjected to electric field of 2.1 kV/m, also laboratory verification carried out on higher values of electric field and using high voltage AC up to 25 kV to generate electric field up to 21.55 kV/m in the experimental case. The study shows that the performance of the photovoltaic module is not affected by the fields under the transmission lines which opens the door for further studies leading to better use of lands under their right of way |
