A comparison study of PV (5MW) based on PVsyst program for evaluation productive energy to connect with the grid. Sudan case study

In most Sudanese cities, instability in electricity supply is a growing problem, and this problem can be solved by using renewable energies, especially solar photovoltaic energy because Sudan receives abundant amounts of solar radiation throughout the year. Any two different cities do not receive the same sunlight at the same time, and this affects the production of the PV system, because the production of energy for solar panels directly related to the amount of radiation received in the project site. Therefore, it is very necessary to use a photovoltaic simulation tool to determine all the components and know the energy produced according to the geographical location. This paper study the productive energy from PV (5MW) to connect with the grid in ten different areas (Portsudan, Alobied, Omdurman, Atbara, Dongola, Madani, Elginina, Alnhood, Kadogli, Nyala) in Sudan, these areas were proposed by the Sudanese Hydro Generation and Renewable Company, General Administration of Renewable Energies, Solar Power Management. In order to know the productivity of the panel's if they are placed in these areas. The system was planned by using fixed tilt method to control the PV array in PVsyst program by using (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Time Zone) of all the ten areas. This paper has been focused of global incident in coll and available energy at inverter output. The Simulation results explain the best position of PV(5WM) between the ten areas Portsudan city. The PV system which has been selected in this area produces an annual energy of 8566750 KWh by global incident in coll 2283 KWh/m^2, it is the highest annual energy generated by the photovoltaic system. Cities were arranged according to their highest productivity.
