Designing and simulation of a grid-connected solar plant in Mathura city region employing PVsyst

Abstract

Existing electricity generation methods are ecologically unsustainable due to the industrial revolution's massive population growth and digitalization. The photovoltaic (PV) simulation tool is crucial for forecasting the solar system's energy output. The objective of this research is to simulate the feasibility of establishing a PV system isolated with batteries in Mathura, India, where the research is taking place to measure solar radiation and examine the technical and economic components of the PV system for generating domestic electrical energy requirements. The program has been implemented by PVsyst software. The amount of electricity that is added to the grid is 100.95 MWh. In the intended location, the Si-poly (polycrystalline silicon) PV system's typical performance ratio is 72.35%. From March to October, the most electrical energy was generated. The temperature of the solar field, which was 7.69%, was the primary cause of the losses observed in the research.
