Results of Simulation for Optimal Proposal
Single Line

DC side

3 strings = 1 Inverter input

AC side
9 IGBT modules convert DC power to AC power
1 transformer to step down the voltage from 400V to 220V

Control System

Power Control includes 9 MPPTs, adjust power to the max point

Gate I/F tracks the DC Voltage to control Inverter.
Module’s Pillar Construction

+ Tilt: 18 degree (According to the

simulation)
+ Height: 2 meters
+ Pitch: 5.2 m ( As long as possible to
avoiding shade)
+ Concrete Pillar: 2 meters in depth

Layout Design

Modules Arrangement
21 modules in parallel = 1 string
4 columns, 18 rows
Pitch = 5.2 m

Inverter Arrangement

8 Inverters are in the centre

+ Avoiding shading
+ Convenient commuting, inspecting and checking
