Abstract

Global demand for energy production is in an increasing trend. However, a gap between energy production and energy demand still represents an industrial challenge. Iraq, like too many developing countries, is an example of such problematic. To tackle these issues, renewable energy could be a valid solution. Renewable energy becomes necessary especially the unique location of the received solar energy and long daylight. Many pieces of research deal with maximum benefit from this condition. This paper discusses the design stand-alone PV system for one home in Baghdad and sizing all components in that system start with energy demand, inverter power, PV, battery bank, and connections with each other by design a simple calculation program. Computational modeling was performed to evaluate different designs. Cost efficiency of system performance based on the domestic market prices was estimated and compared with electrical provide from conventional electrical plants (grid and local generator).

Highlights

  • Oil is the main power source for electricity In Iraq

  • Due to the rapid depletion of fuel, high gas prices, and global warming in addition to many hours of outages, and environmental pollution due to the burning of fuel, renewable energy gives a reasonable solution to these problems

  • This paper aims to focus on the maximum uses of a solar PV system to supply the home and reduce its environmental impact carbon dioxide emission conditions

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Oil is the main power source for electricity In Iraq. due to the rapid depletion of fuel, high gas prices, and global warming in addition to many hours of outages, and environmental pollution due to the burning of fuel, renewable energy gives a reasonable solution to these problems. Design and optimization with sun tracking to study the effect of temperature with HOMER software to study the net presented cost NPC and cost of energy COE in Kirkuk city, Iraq. They found the energy-saving is approximately 21% of total production to charge electric vehicle station and reduced the emission of greenhouse gasses[8]. Another application for a standalone PV system is Pumped Storage with the developed model, a technically and economically feasible power supply solution can be achieved to the island by sizing and optimization with the GA method to achieve lower COE values [9]. A simple calculation program for stand-alone PV system sizing and use for small application load demand
