How do I design a PV Grid connect system?

The document provides the minimum knowledge required when designing a PV Grid connect system. The actual design criteria could include: specifying a specific size (in kWp) for an array; available budget; available roof space; wanting to zero their annual electrical usage or a number of other specific customer related criteria.

What rack configurations are used in photovoltaic plants?

The most used rack configurations in photovoltaic plants are the 2 V × 12 configuration (2 vertically modules in each row and 12 modules per row) and the 3 V × 8 configuration (3 vertically consecutive modules in each row and 8 modules per row). Codes and standards have been used for the structural analysis of these rack configurations.

Does a ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant have a fixed tilt angle?

A ground-mounted photovoltaic power plant comprises a large number of components such as: photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, inverters, power transformer. Therefore its optimization may have different approaches. In this paper, the mounting system with a fixed tilt angle has been studied.

What types of mounting systems can be used for PV power plants?

There are several different types of mounting systems that can be used for PV power plants, such as fixed-tilt support structures, single- or double-axis tracking structures, marine-grade support structures that prevent corrosion, and so forth.

What are the components of a solar substation?

The substation contain all necessary components including transformers, protection relays, monitoring equipment, and capacitor bank. Due to increasing renewable energy standards set by RES, Black & Veatch is sponsoring a senior design project to design a 60 MW grid tied solar power plant with an attached 115kV/34.5 kV substation.

Who is responsible for the design of a solar substation?

The proper documentation of the design will be the responsibility of the senior design team. Detailed drawings for the solar array and substation will be required. The first semester will focus on the solar generation schematics and one-line drawings for the substation.
