Building integrated PV system sizing based on techno-economics evaluation: Design study for a Southern Norwegian house

2021

Master's thesis in Renewable energy (ENE500) Renewable energy sources are promising to take a significant share in the energy sector as a viable option for integrating with conventional fossil fuel power plants. This thesis contributes to the ongoing studies about building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system energy storage. The system comprises the photovoltaic array to capture solar energy, a power converter to change over AC and DC, a grid connection, and a lead-acid battery to store energy. The modeling is also completed by assessing the required load, specifications and choosing the components associated with the system. The geographic area, solar irradiance, and load consumption upon…
