PVsyst & PVSol Software Testing
Session
Energy Efficiency Engineering
Description
Several software programs have been developed to simulate and optimize the photovoltaic system. Engineers and utilities use these simulation tools to facilitate PV system economic pre-feasibility, optimization, technical analysis, and to avoid system overload, poor reliability, and high installation cost. In this paper, two (2) simulation programs with their main features and the developers of these tools are discussed, the software studied are PVsyst, PV*Sol Premium. The main objectives of this paper are the selection of the right software for the analysis as well as the degradation analysis and the performance analysis of PV systems. The paper presents the performance analysis of the PV solar system with a capacity of 40.2kWp. The simulation results are then compared with actual data.
Keywords:
