Abstract

Conventionally Grid Connected Solar PV plants initially generate DC power and then converted to AC via inverters and connected into AC grid for transmission power. Depending on the size of the plant, required environmental condition and land availability large PV plants are generally located far away from the load centre. Hence reduction of transmission loss and incised transmission capacity expansion is a greater challenge for modern newly establish solar power plant. Transmitting high voltage DC power directly from Solar PV panel to High voltage DC grid is become an accretive option for modern PV power plant. In this paper DC-DC bypass diode converter model is adopted to generate high voltage DC voltage in PV power plant. Result shows that power in the range of HVDC level can be generated when the voltage of different PV technology blocks are used as input. P-SIM software is used for simulating the circuit here.http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v12i12.6822

Abstract

India is the seventh largest country in the world, blessed with adequate solar radiation, therefore to setting up a Photovoltaic power plant is a lucrative option. In actual field conditions the performance of the PV modules vary significantly from its Standard Test Condition (STC) due to large change in environmental conditions. It is very important to study the exact meteorological parameters for different locations in India before installation of a Photovoltaic power plant. In this paper, the long-term meteorological parameters for the seventy considered locations in India from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) renewable energy resource website (Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy) are collected and analyzed in order to select an ideal location for installation of PV power plant. This paper helps the investors, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Electricity Authority and Planning Commission to select proper locations for installation of PV power plant.
