Top-Down Approach in Design and Simulation of Grid Integrated Solar Rooftop PV System

Abstract

There is a substantial development in the field of renewable energy and distributed power generation. The solar PV system provides with promising results and proves to be sustainable means of energy generation. In this paper the details of design and simulation of a Grid Tied Photo Voltaic system is provided for RRR labs, a commercial lab in Navi Mumbai. The analysis is done based on the top-down approach and the simulation for the proposed system is done using PVsyst software. Simulation results provide the performance parameters, energy generation and operational characteristics for the proposed system. The economic analysis in terms of payback period and environmental analysis in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction showcases the practical viability of the proposed system along with sustainable development.
