Solar PV System for Self-Consumption

Although Bangladesh has a total of 19 solar power projects of total 1070 MW capacity which generate 10 percent electricity from renewable energy source by 2020, PV technology is still not widely used in many parts of the country. This research focuses on using simulation tools to build and estimate the efficiency of a solar PV system for self-consumption at a region with a high solar potential that is currently underutilized. To learn more about the field and the grid local regulations in Bangladesh, a thorough review of photovoltaic search was reviewed. After that, this research supports in order to choose the best area for the installation. After that, a load profile is constructed to determine the energy consumption of the specific location, and ultimately, the technology to be implemented is chosen and characterized. An AutoCAD 3D modeling of the worksite and supporting components is put into a simulation software PVsyst version 7.2 based on a particular premise. This enables the development of the PV scheme, the determination of the most appropriate values for the system's characteristics (tilt angle, azimuth, and row spacing), and the advancement of a shading and loss study. Finally, an economic analysis is conducted. The study finds the service to be efficient, cost-effective, and useful, as well as providing a design reference for solar PV self-consumption systems.
