Hybrid Solar Systems


 Hybrid PV Systems

  • A Hybrid PV system is considered a better solution to meet the increasing energy demands.
  • Hybrid PV systems mean a combination of both PV plant and grid utility with a battery pack taken under consideration for energy demand. 
  • Renewable energy sources depend on the weather conditions i.e., when the sun’s radiation is good then the plant generation would also be high.
  • During bad weather i.e., cloudy days with very less solar radiation, the plant generation will be low. In this case, we need to switch to utility power to meet the energy demands.
  • Therefore, the integration of renewable energy sources provides better performance and reliable output than standalone systems during any cycle of the power generation system.
  • The hybrid energy system aims to combine solar PV energy connected to the grid, with controlling techniques for maximum power generation.

Both battery bank and grid availability are the main considerations for a Hybrid PV system so that to meet the energy demands.

Basic Notable Points

  1. This system is the combination of the On-grid and Off-grid system.
  2. Surplus power generated by the system would be either stored in the battery or supplied to the grid(if Net metering is availble).
  3. Provides backup power during blackout/power cut.
  4. Battery and Grid both are the major components.
  5. Low initial cost.
  6. Hybrid PV systems are connected to the grid and also have a battery backup. If a hybrid PV system observes anomalies in grid parameters, it is designed to isolate the consumer from the grid and continue to supply power from the PV system and batteries. The batteries can be charged by the grid or by solar energy in such systems.

Sizing of Solar System Components

Image
  Why do we need sizing? To determine the size and capacity of the PV modules, battery, and other Balance of System components. To determine the configuration of batteries and PV modules. Types of PV System PV systems can be broadly classified into three categories: I. II. III. List of Equipment & materials used in the sizing of a PV system PV Modules (Solar Panels) DC Cables DCDB/SJB/AJB ACDB Cable Tray/Conduit Inverter Isolators AC Cables Isolation Transformer (Where Required) Earthing Cable/Earthing Strip Earthing Rods Lightening Arrestor Generation and Net Meter(Bidirectional Meter) System Sizing Step 1: PV System Capacity While sizing the PV system, we mean to manipulate the capacities of generation to the AC load where we specify: DC Capacity of the PV plant AC Capacity of the Inverter output Battery Capacity and the total size as per backup power Capacity is based on: Energy requirement Space limitation Budget limitation Step 2: Specific Equipment  Specifications Wh...

On-Grid Solar System or Grid-Connected PV Systems

Image
 The solar  power sector in India has emerged as an upcoming section in the last few years. It supports the government’s agenda of sustainable growth, while, emerging as an integral part of the solution to meet the nation’s energy needs and an essential player in energy security. A   grid-connected photovoltaic power   system is an electricity-generating solar PV system that is connected to the utility grid. This system requires No energy storing system like battery bank arrangements. The grid-connected PV system is also called an On-grid PV system OR Grid-Tied PV System. How a Grid-connected Solar PV system works The sun shines on the solar panels generating DC electricity. The DC electricity is fed into a solar inverter that converts it to AC electricity. The AC electricity is used for appliances at home. Surplus electricity is fed back into the main grid with a track record of Net-Metering ...
