Techno-Economic Feasibility Analysis of a Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Power Plant in Shahid Beheshti University, Iran

Today, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power plants become widely used and fast growing around the world. In this regard, Iran has an appropriate location in terms of solar irradiation and other meteorological parameters that make it attractive to investing for solar power plants. Although these plants currently have a high initial cost, but the low maintenance and the support mechanisms that governments have established to guaranteed purchase power from these power plants, usually by means of defining feed-in-tariff especially in Iran, has led to investing in this field Be very attractive. In this paper, a feasibility study was conducted for a solar power plant at Shahid beheshti University. At first, the site is analyzed in terms of climate, then it is technically reviewed and pre-designed and the results of the software will be presented. Eventually, an economic feasibility study will also be done for the desired location.
