Application of Standalone Photovoltaic System.

Abstract

The purpose of the master thesis is estimation of effectiveness of photovoltaic system implementation. In the thesis two approaches are investigated. In the first approach firm-owner of PV system covers their own demand, in other words it substitutes power supply from centralized network by RES. In the second approach firm-owner sell power energy on retail market, receiving profit. This two approaches are estimated by such investment criteria as NPV, IRR, PP. PV system consists solar modules, inverters, solar trackers. Storage battery are eliminated because the consumption is much higher than generation in all points of time for both approaches. Assessment of power production forecast is providing in the MatLab Simulink. All components of PV system and external factors (wind speed, daily temperature, solar irradiation) are simulated with capability to change inputs in order to provide simulations for different areas, different designs of renewable systems, and different days of the year. The results obtained in the project shows an efficiency of PV system implementation in Russian Federation.
