Design, Simulation and Performance Evaluation of 30kWp Solar PV Grid-Connected Power System

Solar systems that are grid-connected have become viable substitutes in large scale renewable energy production. For efficient design, operation and maintenance of new grid-tied system, performance analysis has become imperative. In the analysis approach adopted in this investigation, a set of parameters employed in the design and analysis of 30kWp solar PV grid-connected system include: PV module type, inverter type, solar radiation level, tilt or inclination angle, location and climate data. The resulting design of the 30kW solar PV grid-tied power system consists of 33 PV panels of300 Weach and3 inverters of 3.4 kW each.
