This report will help us to understand how the 30-kW solar PV cell-based power plant will perform if all the system components are same and simulated in 5 different regions of India when the sun is over the equator (at equinox). Generally, performance analysis is based on PSH of different locations, module tilt angle, row spacing, array matching and several other losses (Soiling loss, temperature loss, mismatch, voltage drop, irradiance, shadow loss, etc.). This system is useful for new entrepreneurs to understand the system performance analysis in different regions in India if the system having the same components.
—This SW framework is proposed as a design tool, in that it models the energy production of the system, while accounting the many characteristics of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant, and it is made available, upon request, to the scientific community. The model takes into account not only the specification of the panels, the topology of the array and the conditions of the weather, but also the irradiation and the shading patterns, as well as the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. As such, the proposed tool allows to evaluate the performance of PV power plants being designed, while accounting not only the design parameters but also the environmental characteristics, including the weather or terrain. However, differently from other tools, it also allow to compare the performance of MPPT algorithms, thus supporting the design of the PV power plant. Our experiments reveal that, in a plant of 4160 panels and about 6691 square meters, with a peak power of 998.5 kWp, dividing the PV modules among 13 inverter (320 modules each) and supporting the MPPT procedure, the yield loss can be lowered of about 13% with respect to a centralized PV plant with standard MPPT approaches. Over a year, the estimated increase of the income is over 3200 C.

Electrical energy plays pivotal role to agriculture, health and economic growth. The diminishing fossil/ bio fuel, coal, associated environmental issues and squat hydropower generation cannot modern man. To improve the lag, the renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, micro geothermal and abundant source fo has reduced the cost of purchase and installation of SPVM. India has electricity but in-Peninsular eastern states have conventional electric power 20hrs/day are Bihar (8%), Odisha (23%) and MP (26%). photovoltaic (SPV) technology development, pre countries generating solar power. For easy access to the technology, for choice of different SPV plants, design of SPV/PSO unit from 1KW, 2KW, 5KW, 10KW (both on grid and off grid) for various populatio plants of size 1MW and 5MW are also designed. Attempt has also been made to take suggestive measures for reduction in cost of installation and unit cost of generation to make t popular.
Although photovoltaic power plants are suitable local energy sources in Micro Grid environments, when large plants are involved, partial shading and inaccurate modelling of the plant can affect both the design of the Micro Grid as well as the energy management process that allows for lowering the overall Micro Grid demand towards the main grid. To investigate the issue, a Photovoltaic Plant simulation model, based on a real life power plant, and an energy management system, based on a real life Micro Grid environment, have been integrated to evaluate the performance of a Micro Grid under partial shading conditions. Using a baseline energy production model as a reference, the energy demand of the Micro Grid has been computed in sunny and partial shading conditions. The experiments reveal that an estimation based on a simplified PV model can exceed by 65% the actual production. With regards to Micro Grid design, on sunny days, the expected costs, based on a simplified PV model, can be 5.5% lower than the cost based on the double inverter model. In single cloud scenarios, the underrating can reach 28.3%. With regard to the management process, if the energy yield is estimated by means of a simplified PV model, the actual cost can be from 17.1% to 21.5% higher than the theoretical cost expected at design time.
The world faces an increasing an environmental pollution basically as a result of combustion of conventional energy sources. India currently depends on conventional energy to supply power to her teaming population. Due to this, the energy generated does not meet demand. Consequently, the power supply is erratic and areas isolated from the main cities lack power supply. Therefore, the need to develop a non-conventional source of energy generation such as solar cannot be overemphasized. A photovoltaic system that can increase energy output and/or supply power to isolated areas of the country is a good choice, considering the abundance of solar radiated energy in India. In this work as PV system model is designed to work either as a standalone PV system or as grid integrated and the payback period is calculated for the same. The developed model may be useful in the prediction of PV cell behavior under different physical and environmental parameters. The result obtained showed the maximum power output and the corresponding maximum voltage of solar module. Study results demonstrate that, under complex irradiance conditions, the power generated by the new configuration is enhanced than that of the traditional configuration. The solar PV system can be widely used in many consumer applications, such as PV vests for cell phones and music players.

With advances in technology and industrial development, there is an increase in the consumption of electrical energy. However, the rapid exhaustion of conventional fossil fuels to produce electrical energy has provoked the engineers to find sustainable means of electrical energy generation from renewable resources. Amongst all renewable resources, solar energy produces promising results. There has been a lot of research and development in the field of Solar PV systems. Hence with recent advancements in solar technologies, the PV systems have become more efficient and cost-effective. There are little awareness and knowledge about the implementation of Solar PV system amongst common people. The other main issue is the space required for installing solar panels for power generation. In this paper, efforts are made to create awareness and encourage people to adopt and implement solar roof-top PV system for sustainability and a better environment. This paper involves a case study on installation of roof-top solar PV system at RRR Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. Turbhe, Navi Mumbai. The paper provides a feasibility analysis in terms of both economics and design complexities using a Top-Down approach. The analysis suggests that grid integrated roof-top system is a more viable solution for city areas where available open space for the solar panels is the main constraint. If grid integrated PV systems are implemented on open rooftops in cities, it would become versatile utilization of roof-tops which otherwise would have been left unutilized. So, the study concludes that a simple grid-tied solar PV system is feasible to be implemented on any roof-top area in cities at the individual level with affordable expenses. Thus, popularizing the implementation of grid-integrated solar roof-top PV system makes productive utilization of roof-tops as well as contributes substantially towards sustainability and environment.

Abstract- Qatar declared that by 2020 solar energy would produce at least 2% of its total generated electric power (EP). The known solar power plants EP at utility scale level are concentrating solar power (using parabolic trough collectors, linear Fresnel collector, and solar tower), photovoltaic (PV), and integrated solar combined cycle using fossil fuel (natural gas) besides solar collectors. EP generation by PV is reliable, clean, well proven, and matured technology, with 25 years warranties on solar panels. PV is the direct conversion of solar radiation (sunlight) into direct electric current by semiconductors that exhibit PV effect. The PV can be applied to large scale power plants called photovoltaic power station or solar parks. A solar park is connected to the grid, and thus supplies its bulk produced EP to this grid. Transfer solar energy directly to EP is achieved without using moving parts means very low maintenance and operation requirements. Once a solar park is installed (with relatively high cost compared to conventional power plat such as combined cycle), the operating costs with no fuel supply are extremely low compared to conventional power plants. This paper presents the technology and economics of the PV power station. It outlines the main components of the PV power plants including the solar PV modules, module mounting and tracking systems, inverters (or converters), and step-up transformers. It reviews the materials of the PV cells, the PV cells degradation, and the existing PV power plant. Utility PV power plants around the world were reviewed. PV panel are extensively used for small-distributed power generation used in homes and in remote areas. One of the advantages of building solar parks in Qatar (and other GCC) is the coincide of its power output with the high air conditioning electric power demand in hot summer days. The GCC is the Gulf Co-operation countries including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. Recent reductions in photovoltaic cells cost are the driving force behind the trend of building more solar parks worldwide.
