    DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN

    INDEPENDENT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE


    (5kVA SOLAR POWERED INVERTER)
     

    A MINI PROJECT PRESENTED BY


    MUHAMMAD JAMIU ATTA
    MENG/SEET/2016/6489

    1.0 INTRODUCTION

     Energy plays key role in shaping national economies and


    social developments.
     Epileptic power supply is one of the issues we face
    every day in Nigeria.
     Cases of power outages in the university affects
    academic activities negatively.
     Hence, key offices in the department were selected to
    be backed up by independent energy source (solar
    power source).

    2
    1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

     The aim of this project was to design and


    implement an independent renewable energy
    source (5 KVA solar powered inverter).
    The objectives were:
     To carryout survey and obtain the size of the loads
    to be powered.
     To design and implement a solar renewable energy
    system that will powered the surveyed load.
     To evaluate the performance of the designed and
    implemented independent solar renewable energy
    system.
    3
    1.2 Problem Statement

     Population growth and industrialization on the increase


     Power supply from grid no longer enough
     Need to constantly power key offices
     Hence the need for independent power sorce

    4
    1.3 Motivation

     Need to solve the problem of epileptic power supply to


    key offices a motivating factor

    5.0 CONCLUSION

     Manual sizing of the load profiles of the


    installation site was properly done.
     The results obtained show that, the 5KVA
    inverter module, four 130W/18A solar
    panels, two 200AH deep cycle batteries, and
    a 24V, 40A charge controller has safety
    assurance for life and properties.
     The system was finally tested for faults (of
    any kind) and was passed to be efficient. A
    stable power supply was achieved.
    15
    5.1 RECOMMENDATION

     The following areas are identified for future work


    on the completion of this research work.
     The economic analysis of an additional or an
    upgrade of the inverter capacity due to its ability
    to power office equipment can be carried out.
     Another approach in increasing the efficiency of
    the battery Energy Storage System is; by
    oversizing the Battery that is; increasing the
    number of batteries since there will be an
    upgrade of the inverter capacity in the future.
