Solar Panel Specifications



Power output (Wp) = 240
Vmpp (V)           =     48                         
Impp (A)            =      5
Voc (V)             =     60

Sizing PV Panel













Inverter Sizing


     Minimum nominal power rating = Total power from the panels × Safety margin

Minimum nominal power rating = 710.4 W × 1.2 = 852.48 W

Sizing Charge Controller


Parallel:


Maximum Current = short circuit current × number of panels
Maximum Current = 6A × 3 = 18A

Series:

Maximum Voltage = open circuit voltage × number of panels
Maximum Voltage = 60V × 3 = 180V

Charge Controller Specifications:

Maximum Current (A) = 15
Maximum Voltage (V) = 210
Operational Voltage = 12V/24V

mppt = Yes           (mppt = maximum power point tracker)

  • ·         Panel must be in series as the 15 A controller can’t handle 18A parallel PV setup


Note: For off-grid system additional components will be  as follows


Battery Sizing

Battery Specifications:

Depth of Discharge (DOD) = 60% = 0.6
Battery Voltage                   = 12V
Battery Capacity (Ah)         =100




Number of Batteries Required for the System = 5 × 2 = 10

Invertor Specifications:

Efficiency = 96% = 0.96
Operational Voltage = 12V/24V

Calculate Size of Capacitor Bank

Electrical Load of (1) 2 No’s of 120KW, 415V motor, 90% Efficiency, 0.8 P.F. (2) 2 No’s of 150KW, 415V motor, 90% Efficiency, 0.8 P.F. (3) 100KW, 415V Lighting Load. The targeted P.F. Of system is 0.98 Calculate Size of Discharge Resister for discharging of Capacitor Bank Discharge rate of capacitor is 55v in less than 1 minute. Also calculate reduction in KVAR Rating of capacitor if Capacitor bank is operated at frequency of 30Hz instead of 50Hz and if operating voltage is 390V instead of 415V Calculation:  For Connection (1): Total Load KW for Connection (1) =KW / Efficiency=(120×2) / 0.9=266.67KW  Total Load KVAR1= KW×([(√1-(Old P.F.)^2) / Old P.F.] - [(√1-(New P.F.)^2 / New P.F])   Total Load KVAR1=266.67×([(√1-(0.8)^2) / 0.8] - [(√1-(0.98)^2) / 0.98])    Total Load KVAR1=145.98 KVAR  OR  Total Load KVAR1= KW×(tanϕ1- tanϕ2) =266.67×(tan 36.87 - tan 11.48)              ...
