Small scale on-grid PV embedded generation methodologies in South Africa
There is an obvious attraction to on-grid residential solar PV installations as the cost of solar PV systems decrease [1, 2, 3, 7], the cost of utility electricity increases [2, 3], Eskom’s reserve margin reduces [2], and environmental and sustainability awareness among electricity users increases [3]. EGs in the form of residential or commercial solar PV can also derive income when their gener...
متن کاملOn-Grid Simulation of Distributed Generation (DG) of Renewable Electricity in Urban Lighting in the Context of Sustainable Urban Management (Case: Mashhad)
Abstract: Lighting passages is done for citizens’ welfare simultaneously with the peak of the consumption of the network, from sunset to sunrise. The present study aimed at designing a model of sustainable urban management in the field of lighting, with simulation of the use of photovoltaic LEDs instead of sodium and halogen lamps. Accordingly, in a system simulation of the network, the scenari...
متن کاملModelling Of Photovoltaic Energy Generation Systems
We present the development of a dynamic software simulation environment for modelling small and large scale photovoltaic (PV) energy generation systems. The model elements of solar panels, Maximum Power Point Trackers (MPPT) and solar inverters were integrated to a simulator system providing weather and power grid models as well as simulation of combustion power plants. The integrated system en...
متن کاملPower Planning in a Smart Grid Environment - Case Study of South Africa
South Africa’s Government policy embraces the inclusion of distributed energy resources (DER), namely: renewable energy generation, embedded generation (EG) or distributed generation (DG) in the future national generation mix. The renewable energy program incorporates wind power, concentrated solar power (CSP), solar photo-voltaic (PV), landfill, and mini/micro hydro, and envisages a total of 1...
متن کاملThe Environmental Mitigation Potential of Photovoltaic-Powered Irrigation in the Production of South African Maize
Agriculture is under pressure to reduce its environmental impact. The use of renewable energy sources has potential to decrease these impacts. Maize is one of the most significant crops in South Africa and approximately 241,000 hectares are irrigated. This irrigation is most commonly powered by grid electricity generated using coal. However, South Africa has high solar irradiation, which could ...
