Abstract

Currently, solar energy has turned into a popular alternative energy source to meet certain demands around the world due to the instability of oil and coal prices with global warming issues. The aim of this paper is to develop of a simple and cost-effective solar system for the rural areas where grid electricity is not available. To fulfil this objective, a 5-Watt PV (photovoltaic) stand-alone solar module was used as solar power source and a common type lead acid battery (12V, 7AH) applied for backup system. The solar panel was connected to the battery via a charge controller which was responsible to pass the correct voltage for charging the battery and also, ensure that the battery was not overcharged. In addition, the system was designed for 22W AC and 12W DC loads. An inverter was designed for the AC loads which could convert the fixed DC voltage from battery to an AC output voltage. Finally, the entire system was tested successfully and cost evaluation also presented in the paper. This developed system will be effective for the poor people in the rural area those are deprived from the electricity as well as the conventional fuels being saved.
农村地区低成本太阳能系统的设计与开发
目前,由于石油和煤炭价格的不稳定以及全球变暖问题,太阳能已经成为满足世界各地某些需求的热门替代能源。本文的目的是为没有电网的农村地区开发一种简单而经济的太阳能系统。为实现这一目标,采用5瓦光伏(PV)独立太阳能组件作为太阳能电源,采用普通铅酸蓄电池(12V, 7AH)作为备用系统。太阳能电池板通过充电控制器连接到电池上,该控制器负责通过正确的电压为电池充电,并确保电池不会过度充电。此外,系统设计为22W交流和12W直流负载。针对交流负载,设计了一种逆变器,将蓄电池的固定直流电压转换为交流输出电压。最后,对整个系统进行了成功的测试,并进行了成本评估。这种发达的系统将对农村地区的贫困人口有效,这些人被剥夺了电力,并节省了传统燃料。
