САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems using a dual approach that combines PVsyst and MATLAB/Simulink for accurate performance modeling. Focusing on the Republic of Serbia, the study evaluates solar energy potential by simulating PV systems under region-specific meteorological conditions, including varying solar irradiance and temperature profiles. PVsyst is used for system-level simulations, providing insights into long-term energy output, while MATLAB/Simulink allows for detailed component-level modeling of solar cells and PV modules. By integrating these tools, the study examines key factors such as shading, temperature effects, and system losses to optimize the overall performance of PV systems in different parts of Serbia. Results indicate that southern Serbia, with higher solar irradiance, offers greater energy generation potential compared to northern regions, where climatic conditions are less favorable. This dual modeling approach provides a comprehensive framework for optimizing solar PV system design and enhancing renewable energy deployment in Serbia, contributing to the country’s energy transition goals.
