| Title: | Performance and feasibility assessment of a 1.4 kW roof top grid-connected photovoltaic power system under desertic weather conditions |
| Subtitle: | |
| Abstract: | This
paper presents design and evaluation of grid-connected photovoltaic system in
Oman. Hourly global and diffuse solar radiation data as well as ambient
temperature data for one year time have been used. REPS.OM software is used to
design the proposed system which is a 1.4 kWp PV system. The designed system is
implemented practically and experimentally tested for six months to check the technical
and economic feasibility. The system is evaluated using two technical criteria
which are capacity and yield factors. In addition, system feasibility is evaluated
in terms of the cost of energy and payback period. The results showed that the
capacity and yield factors for the proposed system are 21% and 1875
kWh/kWp/year respectively. In the meanwhile, the cost of the energy generated
and the payback period of the proposed system are 0.045 USD/kWh and 11years,
respectively. This study contains valuable experiment data
for researchers and investors who are interested in photovoltaic system investment
in Oman and nearby desertic zons |
