A rural community is to be powered with energy supplied fully by a photovoltaic system. The average daily electrical load is as shown in the following table:
\table[[Time,\table[[Consumption],[(kWh)]]],[0000,220],[0100,220],[0200,200],[0300,190],[0400,180],[0500,230],[0600,320],[0700,450],[0800,400],[0900,420],[1000,440],[1100,430],[1200,420],[1300,440],[1400,450],[1500,500],[1600,540],[1700,590],[1800,750],[1900,830],[2000,780],[2100,810],[2200,650],[2300,420]]
You are being asked to size the PV system to fally power the load with a minimum of 1 day battery autonomy using the solar insolation and load data supplied.
Assume battery coulomb efficiency is 85% and depth of discharge is 80%, Temperature and Discharge rate factor (Cap) value of 90% and an inverter efficiency of 95%. See PV module specification sheets attached, you are free to choose any of the modules given on the attached specification sheets (pages 5 & 6). Ignore module cost.
Your response must include:
PV panel name and rating.
[2 marks]
The number of PV modules, number in series and number in parallel.
[16 marks]
The system de woltage.
[2 marks]
The total battery capacity required in Ah .
