Design and Development of Solar Roof Top PV Power Systems

The main objective of this project is to design and develop a 100kW solar PV power system in commercial buildings. In most of the countries production and consumption of electricity is expanding. So in this project a system is developed to extract some energy from solar power systems and convert into electricity. Engineering analysis is developed using PV SYST in this solar power system. All components are selected based on commercially available off the-shelf components. A Matlab simulink model is developed for both DC and AC power system and the results are compared with PV Syst model performance. Costing analysis of the solar power plant is performed to identify the sensitivity parameters on levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Hence this project was concluded with an identified future research needs for reducing the LCOE.
