Abstract
This paper demonstrates the investigation of the acquired outcomes from consistent information observing a 467.2 kWp solar photovoltaic (SPV) framework commissioned on the roofs of three separate high-rise buildings, which are located at the location of 26.9585° N and 80.9992° E. Onside real-time performance for this system was investigated for three years, 2018–2020; this system contains 1460 SPV panels of 320 Wp each, having 20 PV panels per string, 09 DC/AC power conditioning units (PCU), and a SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system for monitoring the other necessary parts of a grid-interactive SPV system. The outcomes of the different buildings are compared with each other to analyze the power output at the same input conditions. Hardware components of the plants with approximately the same ratings (P2 ~ 108.8 kWp + P3 ~ 128 kWp) are compared (with P1 ~ 230.4 kWp). Simulation modeling of the year 2020 in PVsyst tool for generated energy, Performance Ratio (PR), and Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) are carried out additionally and compared with the installed rooftop grid-interactive SPV system of 467.2 kWp (~P1 + P2 + P3) at the site. Numerous performance parameters such as array efficiency, inverter efficiency, system efficiency, Performance Ratio (PR), and Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) of the plant are evaluated and compared with already installed systems in different regions of the world. These points demonstrate great feedback to framework architects, workers, designers, and energy suppliers regarding the genuine limit and plausibility of the framework they can offer to clients. Moreover, one of the environmental benefits of the SPV plant is that the 467.2 kWp PV framework reduces the tremendous measure of CO2, SO2, and NOX that is discharged into the air.
Highlights
The solar photovoltaic (SPV) power sector is developing at an enormous speed, with the government planning to accomplish the 100 GW objective set until 2022 in India
It is assumed that in April 2020, the actual data (PR and Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF)) deviates due to the inverter’s inappropriate behavior, but after the maintenance in May 2020, the achieved results are up inappropriate behavior, but after the maintenance in May 2020, the achieved results are to the mark and it was fixed by just resetting the specific inverter
April 2020, it can be seen from Table 9 and Figure 10 that the system is in excellent working of April 2020, it can be seen from Table 9 and Figure 10 that the system is in excellent condition and is near to the desired value set by the PVsyst simulation software
Summary
The SPV power sector is developing at an enormous speed, with the government planning to accomplish the 100 GW objective set until 2022 in India. India has an enormous potential for creating sunlight-based energy The explanation for this is that the geological area obtains sun-oriented radiation most of the time, which adds up to 3000 h of daylight [1]. The most significant benefit of roof sun-oriented PV frameworks is that they can be allowed and introduced quicker than different kinds of environmentally friendly power sources They cost less money, are assumed to be reliable, expand the access to energy, have support from the government, lessen carbon footprints, and have low upkeep costs [9]. The study carried out on the size and improvement methods for solar photovoltaic frameworks recommends that the optimization of the SPV framework depends on meteorological factors, for example, sunlight-based energy, the surrounding temperature, and wind speed [17].
