Design of a stand-alone power generation

CLO3 system using these renewable energy Cognitive 4-Analyze PLO3
technologies.

Statement: Design a stand-alone PV system for your own house. Suppose that your
house is in an area in which winter temperature drops to −20 ºC. The monthly insolation
data for the area in which your house is located is given in TABLE-1. While, TABLE-2
and TABLE-3 give the data/x-tics of PV modules and batteries for different
manufacturers respectively, you can choose the data of any module and battery as per
your design requirement when sizing battery storage and PV array. Design your system
with 95% system availability for 90% Coulomb efficiency, and 0.90 de-rating factor. And
also draw your design with specifying components ratings and accurate value of outputs
at various stages of the system.

Submission Guidelines:
• Each student shall submit solution separately.
• Submit your work in PDF format.
• The report should contain all the calculations, characteristics curves and data
used, block diagram of your design and any assumptions if made.
• Plagiarized reports will be marked zero.
• Give description of your house i.e. size and number and types of rooms etc.
in start of your design/report.
• Make sure, you are computing the power demand of your own house
assuming a realistic load, otherwise you will lose marks.
