Performance analysis of 600 kWp grid-tied rooftop solar photovoltaic systems at strathmore university in Kenya

Kenya boasts of abundant solar irradiation potential across its expansive regions, averaging between 4.5 kWh/m2 and 6 kWh/m2 per day. Despite this advantageous condition, solar energy's contribution to the national energy mix remains relatively low. To boost solar energy contribution to the national grid, it is crucial to assess the performance of existing grid-tied solar PV systems and develop strategies to improve their energy yields and further help in designing and installing new plants. This paper presents a technical performance analysis of a 600-kWp grid-tied solar PV system at Strathmore University, monitored over one year between January and December 2019. Economic and thermographic analysis of the solar PV system is done. The performance indices studied according to IEC 61724 standard include performance ratio, capacity utilization factor, reference yield, final yield, total collection losses, and total energy yield. This solar plant generated 735 MWh in 2019. The annual average monthly performance ratio, capacity factor, and annual specific energy yield were 57.4%, 13.97%, and 1225 kWh/kWp, respectively. The annual average monthly final yield, array yield, reference yield, and total system collection losses were 3.37 kWh/kWp, 4.49 kWh/kWp, 5.9 kWh/kWp, and 2.53 kWh/kWp, respectively. The thermographic analysis done shows that the system exhibits healthy temperature distribution. The economic analysis demonstrated Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and simple payback period of US$ 0.143/kWh and 9.1 years respectively. The study reveals that the Strathmore system's performance is similar to other solar plants worldwide.

Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) Based Economic Analysis of Solar PV System with Respect to Performance Investigation for Indian Market

Energy market is subject to changing energy demands on a daily basis. The increasing demand for energy necessitates the use of renewable sources and promotes decentralized generation. Specifically, solar PV is preferred in the energy market to meet the increasing energy demand. New approaches are preferred in the economic analysis to simulate multiple actor interplays and intermittent behavior in order to predict the increasing complexity in solar PV. In the Indian society, there are various myths and perceptions regarding economics of electricity generated through solar PV system. Therefore, this paper will address the various Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and economic analysis for all types of consumers in the Indian electricity market. A detailed economic and performance study is made by considering ten categories and seven sub categories of investment plan for 1 MW solar projects using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to support the decision.

Techno-economic Sizing Analysis of Solar PV System for Domestic Refrigerators

Abstract The energy demand of the growing population is huge. To meet this surging demand the solar energy is the best option to build up the bridge between demand and supply gap. Hydro and thermal energy sources as the traditional way to generate the electricity is not sufficient to meet the demand. Hence, the non-renewable sector has a great potential in providing the energy needs with solar energy playing the major role. The study reveals that the sun emits 3.86×10 26 W of energy with most of the energy dissipated into the space and only 1.74×10 17 W strikes the earth. In the present work, a solar photo voltaic system is developed for the use in domestic refrigerators. The power needed for the domestic refrigerator has been estimated as 356 W h/day . For the specific power requirement, the size of the panel required is found to be 1.3 modules of 100W . The inverter, which is needed to convert the DC to AC used in the experimental setup is about 463.32W . Further, the battery capacity, according to the specific requirement is 58.23 A-h. Solar PV system the Solar Charging controller is the important component operates at 12 A with 12V. The SPVP can generate 47085 kWh/year, while a degradation factor of 0.05% has been taken into account which in turn affects the power produced by 41760.67 kWh/day in 25 years. Considering the discount and inflation factor LCOE has been found to be 0.0870 in 25 years, which is justified.
