The utilization of renewable and eco-friendly source of energy which is also referred as “Alternative Energy” is now being recognized around the world, particularly the Solar Energy. The study proposes a grid-tied photovoltaic system with net-metering that generates electricity that is linked in the electrical grid, where in excess power is sold to the utility company. The objective is to improve the cost of energy consumption of Don Honorio Ventura State University Main Campus by designing and assessing Electrical Power System that lessens the dependency on the Distribution Utility (DU). The design of the system used with respect to the roofing area per building is (3,464) 300 Watts polycrystalline PV panels, (2) uni-directional or (1) bi-directional meter for monitoring the import and export energy, and 30kW-100kW inverter to convert DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current).The computation of the savings was based on the total kWh used per month with the system installed and includes the excess or export energy that is generated from the PV solar panels. Through the assessment of the proposed system, it will surely help Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) Main Campus to save monthly electric bill and lessen the dependency of the University to the utility grid. Since DHVSU’s building are secondary metered by the Distribution Utility, there is a need to install separate PV System set-up tp meet the individual electrical requirement. The PV system will be installed via On-Grid Connection to the DU subject to the Net Metering rules and guidelines as stated by the Renewable Energy Act of 2008.

Electrical Consumption

The latest measure for the development of photovoltaics in Greece utilizes the net-metering scheme. Under this scheme the energy produced by a PV system may be either consumed by the local loads or be injected to the grid. The final cost reported in an electricity bill depends upon the energy produced by the PV system, the energy absorbed from the grid and the energy injected to the grid. Consequently, the actual electricity consumption profile is important to estimate the benefit from the use of this renewable energy source. The state latest statistics in Greece for households reveal that the typical electrical consumption is 3750 kWh while 10244 kWh are consumed in the form of thermal energy. We adopt in our calculations the above amount of electrical energy but assume four different scenarios. These different hourly profiles are examined to study the effects of synchronization upon the final cost of energy. The above scenarios are applied to areas in different climate zones in Greece (Heraklion, Athens and Thessaloniki) to examine the dependence of the hourly profiles and the solar potential upon the financial data with respect to internal rate of return, payback times, net present value and the levelized cost of energy. These parameters are affected by the initial system cost and the financial parameters.

Turkey is among the countries largely dependent on energy import. This dependency has increased interest in new and alternative energy sources. Installation of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems (RSPSs) in Turkey is increasing continuously regarding geographical and meteorological conditions. This paper presents an insight into the potential situation for Turkey and a simulation study for the RSPS designing and calculation for the faculty building at Marmara University in Istanbul. This simulation study demonstrates that 84.75-kWp grid-connected RSPS can produce remarkable power. The system is performed in detail with the PV*SOL software (Premium 2017 R8 - Test Version, Valentin Software GmbH, Berlin, Germany). Detailed financial and performance analysis of the grid-connected RSPS for faculty building with various parameters is also carried out in this study. According to the simulation results, the system supplies 13.2% of the faculty buildings’ annual electrical energy consumption. The annual savings value of faculty buildings’ electrical consumption is approximately 90,298 kWh energy which costs roughly $7296. A photovoltaic (PV) system installation for the faculty building, which has considerable potential for solar energy and sunshine duration, is indispensable for clean energy requirements and was supported by the simulation results.

This article aimed to carry out the techno-economic assessment of a grid-connected photovoltaic system at Western Paraná State University - UNIOESTE, Cascavel - PR campus. The system was built in order to meet the electricity demand of the Alternative Energy Systems Analysis Centre (CASA Project) and consists of ten photovoltaic modules with 330 Wp each (two strings with five modules in series), and a 4 kWp voltage inverter. For the technical assessment of the system, energy data collections were carried out in four different ways: the first one using the data that is provided by the bidirectional meter installed in the system; the second one through electricity bills provided by the local electric utility (COPEL); the third one through the Solar Man website, where the data provided by the inverter is stored; and the fourth one using data recorded by the EMBRASUL RE7000 electrical quantities analyser. As for the economic evaluation, a system feasibility analysis was performed, using the Net Present Value (NPV), the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and the Discounted Payback (DP) as decision criteria. The results obtained in the study show that the values of electricity generation collected by the website and by the RE7000 are close, however, the values of the website are slightly higher. The total efficiency of the system was 13.32%. The return on investment occurs in 12 years, the IRR is 14.1% and the NPV is R$25,564.07, values that make the investment viable, but very close to the minimum acceptable limits.

Bulk electrical power generation is generated using fossil fuels which emit huge pollution which is a global constraint today. Non-conventional sources of energy are the alternative energy sources for power generation. Non-conventional sources like PV (photo-voltaic) system are used as power source now-a-days. Multi-level inverters (MLI) are dominating inverter circuits giving out voltage with less distortion eventually reducing voltage stress on switches and size of filter. This paper presents a MLI structure with five switches giving out five-level output from the inverter. PV system is used as source and boost converter amplifies the PV output voltage to desired value. The paper presents a simplified PWM (pulse width modulation) technique for PV fed five switch five-level inverter. The proposed system is developed and results are obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. Results are presented for the system considering R-load and RL-load conditions.
