Analysis of the Effect of N719 Dye Concentration and Anode Soaking Time on the Performance of DSSC Using Fuzzy Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dye sensitized solar cells has been considered as an alternate to silicon solar cell owning to their low cost and easy manufacturing. A dye-sensitized solar cell uses dye as a charge generation source. When light falls on the dye an electron hole pair is generated. Commonly used dye is Ruthenium (N719). The prepared anode (Usually metal oxide) is dipped in a solution of ruthenium dye and then the cell is stacked. Dye plays an important role in the overall efficiency of the cell. In this work, a parametric estimation using MATLAB Fuzzy analysis on the concentration of ruthenium dye and time for which the anode is dipped in the dye is analyzed and its effect on the overall power conversion efficiency of the cell is studied. The result depicts an increase in power conversion efficiency with increase in the concentration for dye. However, more time for anode dipping shows a reduction in efficiency which represent inverse relation between anode dipping time and performance of N719 dye. Less than 1% error between the simulation and calculated results of Fuzzy analysis shows the accuracy of the system
