| Summary: | Over recent years, the number of building integrated
photovoltaic (BIPV) installations for home systems have been
increasing in Malaysia. The paper concerns an analysis - as part of
current Research and Development (R&D) efforts - to integrate
photovoltaics as an architectural feature of a detached house in the
new satellite township of Putrajaya, Malaysia. The analysis was
undertaken using calculation and simulation tools to optimize
performance of BIPV home system. In this study, a the simulation
analysis was undertaken for selected bungalow units based on a long
term recorded weather data for city of Kuala Lumpur. The simulation
and calculation was done with consideration of a PV panels' tilt and
direction, shading effect and economical considerations. A
simulation of the performance of a grid connected BIPV house in
Kuala Lumpur was undertaken. This case study uses a 60 PV
modules with power output of 2.7 kW giving an average of PV
electricity output is 255 kWh/month.. |
