Abstract
This study aimed to develope a standard procedure for the design of Gridconnected solar PV systems using the roofs of buildings. The standard procedure developed was validated in the design of a 50 kW Grid-connected solar PV system for Vijayaraje Institute of Science and Management (VISM), Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. The project began with a pre-feasibility study of a 50kW Grid-conducted solar PV system using meteonorm software developed by meteotest. Which has a broad database of meteorological data including global daily horizontal solar irradiance, temperature, sunshine hours, rain, daily temperature etc. The design of the solar PV power plant of 50 kW capacity has been proposed, which requires about 2517 of land area. Firstly, shading analysis has been done and total numbers of panels were determined with inverter sizing. The technical and financial performances of the 50 kW Grid-connected solar PV system were simulated using the Bluesol 4.0 software, on this basis the payback period of the system is less than 4 years the preliminary analyses of the simulation results showed that the project will benefit to the institute in a daily power shortage. It is a vital initiative in a district like Gwalior where peoples are relatively unaware about PV power plant and this may act as a benchmark for solar PV power plant development at numerous other institute and buildings.
Keywords: Inverter sizing, payback period, PV modules circuit, shadow analysis, solar power plant design
