Abstract

The city of Karachi, with its ever growing population and an immense solar potential through rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system in urban areas is proving to provide a propitious investment opportunity for both domestic and industrial sectors. This is leading towards trends of moderate to small scale electricity production through solar power in many areas of city, with applications ranging from industrial processes to meeting the typical household electrical requirements. In conformance with this shifting tendency for attaining sustainable power generation, this paper aims to present the theoretical and practical aspects behind the working of a 100 kW roof-mounted PV system at Sindh Industrial Trading Estate (SITE) Area, Karachi. The analysis follows a systematic procedure, highlighting the key aspects of the working components and overall system design. It also includes the detailed study of output production and its comparative analysis with the local solar potential which was obtained through PVsyst software. Lastly, system contribution towards Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction is also discussed. 

100kW并网光伏系统可行性分析——以卡拉奇为例

卡拉奇市的人口不断增长，城市地区的屋顶太阳能光伏(PV)系统具有巨大的太阳能潜力，为家庭和工业部门提供了有利的投资机会。这导致了在城市的许多地区通过太阳能进行中等规模到小规模电力生产的趋势，其应用范围从工业过程到满足典型的家庭用电需求。为了符合实现可持续发电的这种转变趋势，本文旨在介绍卡拉奇信德工业贸易邨(SITE)地区100千瓦屋顶光伏系统工作背后的理论和实践方面。分析遵循一个系统的程序，突出了工作部件和整体系统设计的关键方面。详细研究了该地区的产量，并通过PVsyst软件与当地太阳能潜力进行了对比分析。最后，讨论了系统对温室气体减排的贡献。
