Energy Efficiency Engineering

Description

This paper provides a thorough performance analysis of a 1 MW photovoltaic (PV) system integrated with the distribution network. The study evaluates the system's efficiency by examining the performance of both the PV modules and inverters. It presents detailed visualizations of the system, including peak power, the number of panels and inverters, panel orientation, tilt angles, and the spatial layout of the system in its deployment environment. Understanding these factors is crucial for assessing how the system will perform in its specific setting and for implementing necessary adjustments to enhance efficiency and electricity production. The paper highlights the impact of solar radiation angles on electricity generation, emphasizing the importance of optimizing system design to align with local environmental conditions. By analyzing monthly solar radiation data, the study facilitates the design of a system that maximizes energy output. A key focus of the paper is the configuration of the PV system, which significantly influences its efficiency and performance. Proper configuration, including the strategic combination of series and parallel connections of the panels, is essential for achieving optimal power, voltage, and current parameters at the inverter input. This ensures that the inverter operates effectively and the overall system performs at its best. Overall, the analysis offers valuable insights into the integration of large-scale PV systems with the grid, contributing to improved planning and management of renewable energy resources.
