Design, Sizing & Performance Estimation of a 50kWp Solar Grid-Synchronized PV System through “PVsyst” for Rural Area in Chhatarpur, India

for a long time, we have been used conventional methods for power generation. Due to increasing demand, existing energy plants are losing reliability to fulfil load demands. Further, a coal-fired generating unit generates pollution to the nature. Hence, many scientists & industry persons are trying to find a substitute for the existing energy stations, globally. Additionally, solar energy initiate to be the best alternate resource of energy, which has the potential to fulfil the community load requirements in an efficient manner. Recently, pre-installation study of a standalone rooftop type solar cell system having capacity of S.3kWp for research laboratories has been carried out by PVsyst, version 7.2.6. In particular, a simulation based designing, sizing and attainment assessment of a 50 kWp solar grid-tied photovoltaic system has been done for the village “Nidhwa Pukhari’’ addressed at Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The position of the site are 25.170 N & 80.210 E as latitude & longitude respectively. The performance ratio (PR) value for the suggested system is 72.76 % obtained via PVsyst. The proposed system produces 71.37 MWh/year with 1372 kWh/kWp/year as specific energy generation as per simulation report. The “PVsyst’’ shows mean absolute percentage error of 11.09% for the suggested site. Furthermore, performance analysis & CO2 emission reduction for an on-grid system have been explained in the next segment of this paper. As per study, it is found that the put forward methodology is an environmental affectionate method & has the ability to fulfil the community load demands efficiently.
