Sizing a Grid-Connected PV System to Power Kabaw Central Hospital

الملخص

This paper offers the sizing of a grid-connected PV power supply system. The case study site is Kabaw Central Hospital (Nafusa Mountain) in Libya. This paper deals with an estimated load is 1566.06 kWh / day energy output as a case study to find the optimum sizing and configuration for powering the load of the hospital. The system comprises monocrystalline PV modules rated at 365W, to obtain a total peak power of 255KW. Therefore, the site characteristics were studied, and all the loads of the central hospital were estimated. This paper's optimum fixed tilt angle was determined at 32°C to produce the maximum average radiation from the modules per year. The total active area and the total number of PV modules that could be installed were calculated. The best inverter model was identified and selected to generate a sinusoidal output current supply for the system. The percentage of energy covered by the PV system in this study was estimated in all seasons. The weather data on the site are obtained using PVsyst software.
