Abstract

Parabolic Dish (PD) is one of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technologies that change over sunlight to electricity. PD has demonstrated the most outstanding efficiency by changing over almost 31.25% of solar radiation into electricity and PD has developed as one of dependable and productive Renewable Energy (RE) technology. In any case, the assessment for the PD system performance by utilizing test approach are expensive and takes time. This project is to study on the effect of the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) based on the site selection generated from weather station in Malaysia and factor affecting DNI performance in PD system. This review is utilizing a recreation approach and MATLAB was utilized as the reference model of PD and analysis. The solar irradiation information data were downloaded from the Meteonorm7 Software and five locations will be selected in Penang, Kota Bharu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, and KL Airport, in Malaysia region has been chosen as the area for analysis. From the analysis of five selected locations, Penang is the best location for planting a CSP technologies using PD system and not preferable locations is at Kuching. This is because of Penang highest DNI intensity, low precipitation area with low relative humidity environment condition compare the others and for Kuching have lowest DNI intensity, high precipitation area with high relative humidity environment condition. As a conclusion, the installation of PD in Malaysia need to consider on DNI of area and the performance of PD. Based on the analysis, it could be possible for being implemented in Malaysia because of its DNI are near reaching minimum requirement of CSP technologies and also there is no technical reason that cannot build CSP technologies with low DNI value. Modification of PD system are needed for enhancing the performance for possibilities of installation.
