Performance evaluation of 108 KW grid connected ‎solar photovoltaic System ‎

Abstract

Solar power has emerged as the fastest growing energy generation technology globally over the past decade, mainly due to large scale adoption of the technology by utilities and private sector. Increasing awareness of climate changes, energy security needs facilitation from government decline in solar energy costs and emergence of new and innovative business are some of the prime drivers for the large scale development and deployment of the solar energy. Importance of Solar energy Solar energy is an important part of life and has been since the beginning of time. Increasingly, man is learning how to harness this important resource and use it to replace traditional energy sources. Solar Energy Is Important in Nature: Solar energy is an important part of almost every life process, if not, all life processes. Solar Energy Is Important as Clean Energy: Since solar energy is completely natural, it is considered a clean energy source. It does not disrupt the environment or create a threat to Eco-systems the way oil and some other energy sources might. It does not cause greenhouse gases, air or water pollution. This study aims to design and evaluate the grid-connected solar photovoltaic roof-top system. A design and feasibility study of rooftop solar photovoltaic system project is conducted using tools- PVsyst, The performance of the system was simulated using PVsyst software and the results were analyzed. The analyses of the simulation results show that the Maximum total energy generation of 18.23 MW h was observed in the month of May and lowest total energy generation of 10.10MWh was observed in the month of December. The utilization of roof building will be increasing the amount of solar energy injected into grid. The utilization of roof building will be increasing the amount of solar energy and achieving Dubai clean energy strategy 2050 goals which aims to provide seven per cent of Dubai’s power through clean energy by 2020, 25 per cent by 2030 and 75 per cent by 2050.
