design and simulation of a solar pv system - BRAC University ...

To design such types of systems, this section has different steps such as location, horizon
and system sizing. To construct a system, there are many components like module,
battery and inverter choosing, sizing array which show a number of module connected in
series and parallel etc. PVSYST makes the users to interconnect this component to
develop a virtual PV system and simulates that. After simulation, users get the simulation
result. By using the PVSYST software, we have developed one.
Simulation for BRACU:
First we have done preliminary design to gain primary knowledge and after that designed
a project of grid connected system for BRACU. Here we have defined our location,
orientation, and horizon. For location choosing, we have selected India as country instead
of Bangladesh because we did not get Bangladesh in country selection option. Under
India we have selected Dhaka as our site which matches with our latitude and longitude.
Since we want to develop a PV system so we have chosen a module and an inverter,
defined our monthly energy consumption rates and declared our planned power we want
to generate. The parameters are given below in table 6 :
