SOLAR DESIGN OF 500KW SOLAR YARD

Energy Production without losses = PV Capacity X Solar Radiation X No. Of days

= 500,000 X 5.5 X 31
= 85250 KWh
System losses = temperature losses + Module Soiling losses + Module Mismatch Losses
+ DC cable losses + Solar radiation losses
= 13.5 + 1.5 + 1.5+ 1.2+ 2.5
= 20.2 %

Energy production with losses = Energy generated X (1- System losses)
= 85250 KWh X (1- 0.202)
= 68029 KWh

Energy at output of inverter = Energy at input of inverter X (1- losses at inverter)
= 68029KWh X (1- 0.02)
= 66668 KWh

Energy fed to the grid = Energy at output of inverter X (1 losses of ac cable)
= 66668KWh X (1-0.05)
= 63334KWh

Performance Ratio = (Energy fed to the grid/energy generated without losses)
= (63334 /85250)X 100
= 74%
Number of modules = (Total PV Capacity/Rated output of one module)
= (500,000/240)
= 2084

Number of modules in string = (Vmp of selected inverter/ Vmp of selected PV module)
= (465/30.60)
= 15

Number of string in Parallel = (Total no. of module/ total no. of module in string)
= (2084/15)
= 139

Total current in string in = Current of one string X Total no. of string in Parallel
parallel
= 7.85 X 139
= 1090A

ESTIMATION OF WIND TURBINE OF 500KW
Power density of wind = (V
3
)/2
= (1X 5
3
)/2
= 62.5 W/m
2


Overall losses = Cp X Transmission Losses X generation losses
= 0.4 X 0.90 X 0.90
= 0.324

Actual power density = Power density of wind X losses
= 62.5 X 0.324
= 20.25 W/m
2


Actual energy density = Actual Power density X 8760
= 20.25 X 8760
= 177.39 KWh/m
2


Peak Annual Energy density = Actual energy density X Capacity factor
= 177.39 KWh/m2 X 0.30
= 53.2 KWh/m
2


Area of Rotor = (Total amount of energy required/ Peak annual energy
density)
= 4380000/53.2 = 82330 m
2

Radius of rotor Blade = 3.14 X R
2
= 82330
R = 161 m

Power Rating of Turbine = Actual Power Density X Area of rotor
= 20.25 X 82330
= 1.6 MW
