PV Grid-Connected System

Abstract

As renewable energy becomes a more suitable choice for energy production, more informationon how different technologies will behave needs to be available. This project follows through the design of a grid connected photovoltaic system, in the hope to discover and determine to whatextent the energy produced can satisfy the specific targeted load. Adopting the grid connectedmethodology allows for making use of the existing utility grid which exempts the enormous costof batteries. This project is based on a combination ofhand calculations and software modeling of the gridconnected PV system. Modeling the grid connected PV system is carried out by using PVsyst software forthe study, sizing and data analysis of the system. Another side of modeling the PV system, E-TAP software is used to study the power flow analysis in the existing grid. The simulation results ensured theeffectiveness of the proposed grid connected PV system in sufficiently meeting the SUST Complex of Medical Colleges demand.
