PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A 1.5 KW PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER SYSTEM
Journal Title: World Journal of Engineering Research and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Due to the rising fuel costs resulting from the deregulation of the downstream oil sector in Nigeria, increasing concerns for global climatic change, and a growing worldwide demand for electricity, utilizing renewable energy sources such as solar power becomes a necessity rather than a luxury. Despite the large quantity of energy absorbed by the earth from the sun yearly, only a fraction of that is captured for electrical power production. Solar powered systems can generate electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. PV systems can range from utility scale systems (about 14MW) solar arrays 4KW roof-top home systems to small wattage solar backpack for charging portable electronics. This project explores solar PV systems for residential buildings, using three offices as a case study. The design and implementation was based on 1.5KW inverter with two 200Ah deep cycle batteries, 20Amp charge regulator and four 80Watts solar panels.
