Question

2. [40 Points] A Solar array is to be designed so that it can provide secondary power to a house and satisfy the following power requirements: • Output voltage 200V • Output current 9 A You are to build the solar system out of individual cells where each cell output a rated voltage of 1V and rated current of 100 mA. 1. How many cells in series do you require per module? 2. How many modules do you need for the PV array? 3. What is the expected rated output power of the PV system? 4. What device should be used as an adapter so that you can make use of the PV output power in the house? Can a direct connection between the PV output terminals and a house appliance be possible? 5. If the generated energy during the day happens to be more than what's needed, can you suggest a way to still take advantage of this energy and not let it go to waste?

a) A solar installation is required to produce 440V AC for domestic use. However, there is not a single solar cell that can produce this amount of voltage on its own. Evaluate the solar panel installation by identifying the limitations of a PV cell. Explain its operation and assembly details for organizing the Solar PV cell, PV module, string connection, PV panel, and connecting them together in parallel and series to achieve a practically usable voltage required for a commercial installation. b) Explain how the DC voltage is converted to AC voltage in a typical Solar PV installation by evaluating the detailed design of the inverter system. c) Given that a Solar panel containing 100 Solar cells is arranged as a single string that can produce 50V DC and a current of 10 Amps, design a layout with appropriate connections to provide 5 kW power to a house. You may select a suitable inverter system and illustrate its connections using a diagram.

Question 2 Describe two ways in which solar energy may be used to generate electricity for distribution through a utility grid system. Include in your answer a schematic diagram for each example showing the essential components of the system. Estimate the hot water energy demand for a family of six, with medium consumption (i.e., per person: 73 liters/day): The cold-water mains supply is at 23°C, and the hot water distribution temperature is 52°C. (Take the density of water as 1000 kg/m³ and the specific heat of water as 4.18 kJ/kg K). Estimate the daily load and the peak power required by a PV system that has three appliances connected to it with the following characteristics: Appliance 1: 20 W operated from 10 am to 6 pm. Appliance 2: 10 W operated from 9 am to 5 pm. Appliance 3: 30 W operated from 12 pm to 6 pm. Also, draw a time schedule diagram for the PV system.
