Grid-Interactive Solar PV Systems: Component Breakdown, Design Considerations, and Case Study Review

EasyChair Preprint 15008

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the various components of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system and their functionality, along with key design considerations necessary for installation. A case study is provided on the ‘95 kWp on-grid photovoltaic system’ implemented at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences in Coimbatore. The study focuses on a 95 kWp PV array consisting of 312 solar modules and four 25 kVA inverters. The results include data from the system’s online monitoring, showcasing power generation in kWh/kWp, energy savings in MWh, and the amount of CO2 emissions avoided. Additionally, the simulated energy performance of the PV system is also analyzed. Promoting solar PV installations in educational institutions can reduce energy costs and provide a platform for research and development in renewable energy. Keywords—Solar energy, Photovoltaic system, Grid-connected solar PV system, PV system components, 95 kWp solar plant at Karunya, PV system design considerations

Keyphrases: 95 kwm solar plant at karuna, PV system design, Photovoltaic system, pv system components
