Design and Performance evaluation of Proposed 2 kW Solar PV Rooftop on Grid System in Odisha using PVsyst

Abstract

Main factors driving towards renewable energy are the environmental effects and load demand of electricity. For residential as well as commercial applications, the primary purpose is to determine the methods driven by mathematical models for a grid-tied solar PV system. In Odisha state the average value of solar irradiation is around 1156.39 W/sq. m. So the solar rooftop plant of 1 kWp will generate on yearly basis an average value of 4.8 kWh of electricity per day (taking into account 5.5 sunshine hours). For the generation of 1 kWp, carbon dioxide discharges mitigated is 28 tonnes. So the installation is comparable of planting 45 trees over the life time. In this paper by using PVsyst V6.84 software a case study of 2 kW installation of solar PV plant on rooftop is analyzed for residential load utilization of 8.9 kWh/day. The simulation result gives available AC energy, used energy and excess energy. The generated excess energy is given to the utility grid. Therefore, development of this kind of system provides the green energy for storage and also worthwhile development of the society.
