Intergrated grid-connected PV monitoring system

Abstract

This paper presents the development of integrated grid-connected PV system design tool and monitoring system. The development and deployment of photovoltaic system need a strategy in order to get the maximum performance result. Designing a PV system is not conceptually difficult, yet many PV projects fail to achieve their objective because of improper installation, essential variables are not monitored, mismatch system’s component, not cost effective. The performance of a PV system depends on the environmental factors such as irradiation, environment temperature and other weather condition. For this purpose, solar radiation, temperature and wind speed are utilized as the input information in real condition. The output is to predict maximum performance of PV system power generation under the real condition by those environmental factors. The final result of the developed system will be a complete model design of PV system including the performance of the proposed system, cost analysis and deployment strategy for the selected area.
