A Sizing Tool for PV Standalone System
This project aims to develop a software for sizing a standalone photovoltaic (PV) systems. The proposed tool has the capability to allow the user to employ meteorological data such as ambient temperature, irradiation data, and peak sun hour (PSH) in designing the PV system. Usually, a micropower sys...

| Summary: | This project aims to develop a software for sizing a standalone photovoltaic (PV) systems. The proposed tool has the capability to allow the user to employ meteorological data such as ambient temperature, irradiation data, and peak sun hour (PSH) in designing the PV system. Usually, a micropower system is designed to serve a specific load demand, in this work, the stand alone PV is modelled with a particular load profile to ensure that the system meets required energy demand. The developed tool is used to determine the feasibility of the stand-alone system in terms of PV size and the estimated total power production. The tool developed with a built in database which stores different types of PV panels, batteries, charge controllers and inverters. The proposed sizing tool was validated based on the real data implemented on the case study for a residential buildings. |
