Performance Evaluation of Grid Connected Solar PV Plant Using PVsyst Deepansh Nirwan, Electrical Engineering Department, PEC University of Technology Chandigarh, India Dr Tilak Thakur , Electrical Engineering Department, PEC University of Technology Chandigarh, India
---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------the solar PV plant design aspects along with its annual performance is elaborated. The various types of power target of 50 MW solar PV by 2022.As per CREST data 7.7 losses (temperature, internal network, power MWp of grid connected Solar has already been electronics, grid connected etc.) and performance ratio commissioned by December 2016.In this paper 1 MW are also calculated. The performance results of the gird connected solar plant installed and commissioned at plant are also compared with the simulation values PEC University of Technology which is the largest in obtained from PVsyst and PV-GIS software. Kanchan Chandigarh is studied and its Performance is Evaluated Matiyali et al. [4] evaluated the performance of a using PVsyst software. The average global horizontal proposed 400 KW grid connected solar PV plant at irradiation is 5.26 KWh/m2/day and annual average Dhalipur. Performance ratio and several types of power temperature is 20.9 degrees centigrade. The study losses were calculated. Value of the performance ratio includes performance evaluation at the tilt angle for obtained was 78.1% from the results practicality of the which the plant is installed and comparing it with the solar photovoltaic power plant was discussed. Ali optimum tilt according to the site with and without the Malek et al. [5] studied the feasibility of photovoltaic Horizon considerations. power plant situated at an Algerian site. In the study Keywords— Grid Connected Solar Plant, performance of fixed tilt was compared with the Pvsyst,Performance ratio,Annual energy yield. seasonal tilt and it was observed that the seasonal tilt 1. Introduction gives 5 % more energy as compared to fixed tilt. Mounir Bouzguenda et al. [6] study revealed that even India has a very huge Solar potential with almost though solar energy resources were abundant in the 250-300 clear sunny days in a year. Almost all parts of summer, high ambient temperatures drastically India receive 4–7 kWh of solar radiation per sq. metre hindered the overall system performance for the given due to its geographical location [1].It receives around system components and reduced the solar cell 5000 trillion kWh of energy every year. With the efficiency by up to 16%. Shading losses varied between increasing demand of power and high solar potential, 0.70% and 4.2% according to the panel spacing and government of India aims a target of 100,000 MW grid field location. connected solar power projects by 2021-22 under the National solar mission [2]. 2.

Abstract— Chandigarh is an emerging Solar City with a
The Government has set 50 MW as target for Chandigarh administration to be achieved by 2022.Chandigarh has rooftop solar plants installed and commissioned on the buildings of all the government colleges (11) and schools (59) and also at other government buildings accounting to a total of 140 government buildings with total capacity of 7.782 MWp [3].

The PEC University solar power plant is located at latitude of 30.73 degrees North and longitude of 76.77 East at an altitude of 344 metres.
B. Shiva Kumar et al. [1] studied the performance of a 10 MW solar plant at NTPC Ramagundam. The plant is designed to operate with a seasonal tilt. In this study © 2017, IRJET
