CALCULATION AND DESIGN OF AN ISLAND-MODE ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM SUPPLY TO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA

Abstract

The demand for electricity of residential areas is increasing in remote areas or islands where the planning and development of the national grid is difficult or impossible. To solve these problems, the use of a system of renewable energy sources combined with storage and diesel generators to replace the national grid, and meets the electricity needs of the load is one of the most practical solutions. This paper presents the optimal design of a small independent electrical network consisting of photovoltaic cells, electric energy storage accumulators and a diesel backup generator. This independent power network can meet the needs for the household's daily load that consumes 12.5 kWh per day. Use optimization software for the PVsyst renewable energy sources system to get the most technically and economically feasible results.
