Investigation the Impact of using Integrated PV System at Avro City in Duhok-Iraq

Abstract

With the rise in the earth's inhabitants, the energy demand has been increased, causing many problems in economic and environmental issues. Thus, the move towards cheap and clean energies such as solar energy is the most appropriate and urgent solution to meet the energy demand problem. One type of solar energy is a PV (photovoltaic) solar system that can meet energy needs. In this paper, the energy shortages, specifically at Avro city (large residential complex) in Duhok city-Iraq. The proposed solution was adopting a PV system connected to the national grid on the buildings' roofs for assessment and evaluation. A PV Syst software was used to simulate and analyze the performance of the proposed PV system. An 89.6 KWp PV (Monocrystalline silicon) system connected to a grid that with many orientations (fixed axis, vertical axis, horizontal axis(E-W), and dual-axis), are used with 216 modules of PV. To meet the most electricity for the building by the PV system, each module has a rating of 415W and uses three inverters with a rate of one 25 kW. The simulation findings were examined to estimate the system of photovoltaic performance. This includes assessing the PV array's energy output, and energy injected into the grid, performance ratio, and other nominalized energy for each state.
