Question: PV - On Grid: The figure below shows a Grid connected PV system in Beirut where the peak sun hour ht = 5 ( h

PV-On Grid: The figure below shows a Grid connected PV system in Beirut where the peak sun hour ht =5(h/day) under STC criteria.
The solar fraction of PV system is 50% and the capacity factor of the system equal 1.
The array is consisted of a number of PV module with capacity 500 Wp that has the following electrical data:
Vmp=45Vdc(voltage at maximum power point)
Imp=11A(Current at maximum power point)
Voc =50Vdc(Voltage of short circuit)
The global losses of array is 0.75 including:
array loss due to mismatch.
dirt loss
Differences in ambient condition
copper losses between PV modules and converter
The Grid connected Inverter has the following-parameters:
European or average efficiency of 80%.
Input DC voltage range: 300 V -700 V (preferable input voltage 500 V )
Maximum input DC current 90A
One MPPT
Rated capacity is selected as 45 KW
The sizing of the system is based on the year 2023. The utility grid was available 2424(take 1 year=365 days) The annual energy consumption read from meter was Wcons=87600KWh.
Calculate the followings:
Based on solar fraction factor, the reading of solar energy Wpv is KWh
The energy is Sold or Bought from utility grid q,, how much KWh
The average ac output power of converter Poc-outq, KW
The average dc input power of converter Pdc-in KW
The average efficiency of the system (converter + array)av is (one digit after decimal point)
The capacity of the PV system Pdc-pv is KWp
The number of PV modules Nt is
The number of panels in series per string Ns is
The number of strings in parallel Np is
Assume now that utility has a daily outage equivalent to 2 peak sun hour, what is the annual lost energy of solar system Wlast is kWh.
