 Solar capital of India with Asia’s largest solar park  More than 600 MW solar photovoltaic installations  Government launched special solar energy educational

 Programs to full fill increasing demand of technical experts  Creating employment of 45,000 People in renewable energy sector  Ambitious plan of generating 100,000 Million units of clean green energy annually

Best way to learn is looking at

 High Electric bills  Increasing electricity tariff rates  Frequent electricity cut off  No contribution in environment saving

What if we used other sources of energy to power our house !!!

Which are…  Free of cost (just requires initial investment)  Provides more reliability  Helps in contributing for saving environment

Lets see how we can work it out….

Advantages of solar energy –  Locally available  Free source of unlimited energy

If we want to power your house / this lecture hall by using solar power Then, 1) How will we proceed ? 2) What will be the system size and cost? 3) What other systems we will have to integrate ? 4) What will be the methodology of sizing of each equipment ? 5) What precautions we will have to take and how much the overall system will cost?

1. Solar radiation assessment

2. Site survey and estimating maximum available energy 3. Understanding Photovoltaic technology 4. Requirement analysis 5. Determine load, power and energy consumption 6. System concept development

7. PV array and battery selections 8. Charge controller and inverter selection

Install and Run Pvsyst on your laptops

energy received from sun on a unit area perpendicular to the rays of sun Radiation is inversely proportional to square of the distance

At the mean distance of sun and earth, rate at which energy is received from sun on unit area perpendicular to rays of sun is solar constant

Its value is 1367 W/m2 = Isc

Beam radiations (Direct ) Diffused radiations (Diffuse from sky + Reflected from ground) Global (Beam+Diffused)

Measuring solar radiations

Amount of solar radiation on an object will depend on 

Location



Day of year



Time of day



Inclination of the object



Orientation of object (w.r.t. North-south direction)

Here the Object is solar panel, but it is true of any object (For solar thermal also!)

*Only for easy visualization

Day of the year is characterized by an angle Called as Declination angle (δ)

Angle made by line joining center of the sun and the earth w.r.t to projection on equatorial plane (+23.45o to -23.45o)

Study the effect of day /season through fixed tilt with our Simulation software PVsyst

Time of the day Time is based on the rotation of the Earth with respect to the Sun

It is characterized by Hour angle (w) – It is angular measure of time w.r.t. solar noon (LAT), Since 360o corresponds to 24 hours 15o corresponds to 1 hour

W = 15 (12 - LAT ) Hour 15 angle degree per hour

With reference to solar noon

Local apparent time In hour

In order to find the beam energy falling on a surface having any orientation, it is necessary to convert the value of the beam flux coming from the direction of the sun to an equivalent value corresponding to the normal direction to the surface.

South direction (horizontal plane)

θ is affected by five parameters - Latitude of location (φ) - Day of year (δ) - Time of the day (w) - Inclination of surface (β) - Orientation in horizontal plane (γ)

Angle of Sun rays on collector Incidence angle of rays on collector () (w.r.t. to collector normal)

cos   sin  (sin  cos   cos  cos  cos  sin  )  cos  (cos  cos  cos   sin  cos  sin  )  cos  sin  sin  sin  Where, Latitude (φ) Surface azimuth angle (γ) Hour angle (w) Surface slope (β) Declination angle (δ)

Optimum inclination for fixed collector For the power output to be maximum, the incident radiation must be perpendicular to the panel.

The inclination of the fixed collector (facing South) w.r.t. horizontal at noon time should be =0o, collector facing due south

cos   sin  sin(   )  cos  cos  cos(   ) At noon,

 0

For optimal radiations

 0

cos   cos(     )

      0     

    Under this condition at noon time Sun rays will be perpendicular to the collector

One need to estimate declination angle for a given day, when optimum inclination is to be estimated

Optimum Inclination over a Year The noon position of the sun is changes throughout the year What is optimum position of collector for whole year (we need to estimate average value of declination angle over year)

Average  is Zero over the year

Hence  = 

Azimuth orientation from PVsyst

Continuous tracking of sun will ensure that the sunrays are always perpendicular to the solar panel (tilt angle=β is changed to ensure that incident angle=ϴ = 0)

Axis tracking from PVsyst

Now you know what should be the orientation of solar panels to get maximum output from fixed collector

Actually Only 1/4th problem is solved

Lets see what are other 3 parts … We also need to look at 1. Energy requirement 2. What PV technology to choose , 3. Actual installation and Financial part

Battery Sizing 1. Required Supply Wh = Load Wh * (No.of day of storage + 1) 2. Include Efficiency factors from name plate of battery Depth of Discharge (DOD) Battery efficiency factor (BEF) System AC efficiency (ACEF) {ACEF = Inverter Efficiency x AC Cable Loss Factor} Battery Wh = Supply Wh / (DOD*BEF*ACEF) Select Battery Voltage (VBAT) based on system voltage Small systems (3kWh) are > =48-120 VDC. Battery Ah = Battery Wh/VBAT Select nearest larger rating available

To be on the safe side

Battery specifications in PVsyst

Light energy  Electricity It is generated due to principle of photoelectric effect Let’s look at the process in some further detail:

• Photovoltaic energy is the direct conversion of light into electricity at the atomic level. • Some materials exhibit a property known as the photoelectric effect that causes them to absorb photons of light and release electrons. • When these free electrons are captured, an electric current results that can be used as electricity.

Something like a charge controller !!!

The additional advantage could be – Increased battery life Preventing reverse current

A charge controller limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries.

Types PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) - Helps to remove buildup on the plates in a battery extending a battery’s life. MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) - Adjusts the output voltage level to get maximum power output

Why solar charge controller is required !!!

Increases battery life For battery Regulate power Charge controller

Preventing reverse current Optimize power output

Charge Controller Selection

1. Match controller nominal system voltage to PV system voltage 2. Controller input voltage rating >= 1.2 x array open circuit voltage 3. Max. charge current >= 1.25 x array max. power point current.

4. Nom. load current = Max. DC Load Power/System Voltage. 5. Controller output current rating >= 1.5 x nom. load current.

Solar PV system

Sine wave inverter

Mechanism continually changes current direction

Square wave

Induced to Sine wave

1. Stand alone inverter  Used in isolated systems where the inverter draws its DC energy from batteries charged by photovoltaic arrays.  Unlike grid tie inverters, stand-alone inverters use batteries for storage.

 These types of inverters are mostly used in residential buildings in remote locations which are devoid of the utility grid and is powered by renewable energy sources.

2. Grid tied inverter 

That converts direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current(AC) and feeds it into an existing electrical grid.



During a period of overproduction from the generating source, power is routed into the power grid, thereby being sold to the local power company.



During insufficient power production, it allows for power to be purchased from the power company



The grid tie inverter must synchronize its frequency with that of the grid (e.g. 50 or 60 Hz) using a local oscillator and limit the voltage to no higher than the grid voltage

SOLAR POWER CONDITIONING UNIT (PCU) is used as control system for grid tie inverter

Match inverter DC input voltage to system voltage.



Match inverter AC output voltage to nom. load voltage.



Inverter output power rating 1.5 to 2 times (min. 1.2 times) max. load power to allow for future expansion.
