Abstract

The increasing energy demand and the development of renewable energy technology present a new possibility to implement renewable energy sources. Solar energy is the most prominent among renewable sources, as it is an inexhaustible resource, and its exploitation has thus far been ecologically friendly. This project aims to investigate energy consumption and design a stand-alone PV system mathematically and using PVsyst software. The project is designed to power the Tun Fatimah residential college (KKTF) at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, in Batu Pahat, Johor, in places where sufficient solar radiation is available throughout the year. The size of the stand-alone PV system is 805 kWp. Moreover, some of the differences were recorded through both methods used, most notably the system's energy production as determined in the calculation to be 1123.71 MWh/year and 1097.888 MWh/year using PVsyst. The amount of missing energy from the system was 111,932 kWh/year and it happened due to some losses in the system. Thus there is 902,786 kWh/year that will be saved to users from the total production of the system. The performance ratio was recorded through the two applied methods, 84.84%, and 68.40%, respectively due to the required batteries sizes and the variation in radiation during different periods of the year. The economic evaluation is shown a low financial efficiency due to the long payback period.
