DEVELOPMENT OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL TO OPTIMISE THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEMS
Abstract
Nigeria’s energy challenges, including unreliable power supply and high electricity costs,
create a need for sustainable solutions like solar power. The aim of this study is to
develop a mathematical model to optimize solar power system design and operation in
Warri, Delta State, focusing on maximizing energy output and minimizing costs. The
methodology utilizes solar irradiance data and advanced optimization techniques such as
linear programming and simulation to determine the best system configuration for local
conditions.
