The feasibility study of solar energy potential at Bayan Lepas for future energy generation / Mohamad Firdaus Radzi
Tenaga suria merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengurangkan pelepasan lebihan gas rumah hijau (GHGs). Sistem fotovoltaik dikenali sebagai system yang mesra alam, bersih dan menghasilkan tenaga yang selamat dan merupakan tenaga yang boleh diperbaharui. Oleh itu, fakta ini membuat sumber tenaga solar menarik bagi banyak aplikasi, terutamanya bagi kawasan luar bandar dan kebanyakan lokasi membangun. Objektif projek ini adalah untuk merekabentuk sistem PV yang berhubung dengan grid kuasa dan mampu untuk menampung 10% daripada jumlah permintaan beban di Pulau Pinang. 40% daripada jumlah beban disalurkan adalah kira – kira 27.273 GWj/hari dengan 1.136 GW penggunaan kuasa setiap hari. Sinaran suria dan suhu persekitaran memainkan peranan penting dalam merekabentuk sistem fotovoltaik (PV) yang sesuai. Data untuk sinaran suria dan suhu persekitaran bagi tahun 2013 sehingga tahun 2015 telah diperolehi daripada Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (JMM). Daripada data yang dikumpul dan dianalisis, nilai optimum sinaran suria harian ialah 4.88kWj/m2. Reka bentuk ini melibatkan pengiraan kapasiti modul PV dan penyongsang solar. Hasilnya, 24,048 unit SPR-327NE-WHT-D modul PV dan 19,694 unit PVI 100KW penyongsang solar telah dipilih. Pemilihan jenis komponen ini adalah berdasarkan kepada pengiraan sistem reka bentuk. Pada masa akan datang, penyelidikan khusus utama dan kajian perlu dilakukan dalam bentuk sistem PV. Ini boleh membantu untuk meningkatkan prestasi sistem PV dari segi penarafan dan kecekapan komponen. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Solar energy is one of the most successful method to reduce the world from excessive emission of global greenhouse gasses (GHGs). Photovoltaic systems known as an environmentally friendly, clean and secure energy sources of the renewable energy. The solar energy generation will involve the application of photovoltaic (PV) system. Therefore, this fact makes the solar energy resources attractive for many applications, especially for the rural and remote areas of most of the developing location. This project objective is to design a PV system that connected to the power grid which is able to support 10% of total load demand of Penang Island. The 10% load supported by the system is approximately 27.273 GWh/day with 1.136 GW power consumption daily. Solar irradiation and dry bulb temperature play an important role in designing appropriate photovoltaic (PV) system. Both data for solar irradiation and dry bulb temperature for the year 2013 to 2015 was acquired from the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MMD). From the data collected and analyzed, the optimum average daily solar irradiation is 4.88 kWh/m2. The design involves of the calculation of the capacity of the PV module and solar inverter. As a result, 24,048 units of SPR-327NE-WHT-D module PV and 19,694 units of PVI 100KW inverter has been selected. The selection of the type of the component is based on the calculation of the design system. In future, major specific research and studies should be done in designing PV system. This can help to improve the performance of PV system in terms of rating and the efficiency of the components.
