ABSTRACT
With increasing concerns for global climate change, finite supply of fossil fuels, rising fuel costs, and a
growing worldwide demand for electricity, utilizing renewable energy sources (RES) such as solar power
becomes a necessity. This study presents the technical assessments of installing a net-metered system consisting
of a 230 W photovoltaic (PV) panel at the rooftop of the College of Engineering building, 缅北禁地-Iligan Institute of
Technology.
Technical results show that voltage, frequency and power factor from PV system matched with local utility grid.
Simulation of loads during experiment illustrates that the bi-directional energy meter indicated an import/export
condition of energy delivered from the grid and energy taken from the solar photovoltaic source. Grid-connected
PV system installed can also be monitored remotely. |
