Simulation and Cost Analysis of 42 kWp Solar PV Plant Using Homer Pro for Rural Village, Central India

EasyChair Preprint 7517

Abstract

Due to the rise in environmental pollution and ultimately leading to the climate change, we must look for renewable energy sources. Electricity generation using solar PV system is a sustainable, clean as well as climate friendly. In this paper, we are analysing and simulating 42 kWp solar photovoltaic systems at the site of Nandpur Village using simulation based software.  The total energy installation in India is very high. However the availability of electricity in rural areas is often inconsistent. This can be improved by installing a solar power plant. In recent times, govt of India is also promoting the solar energy use by PM KUSUM Yojna. This plant is proposed for the village Nandpur, Madhya Pradesh. Site has the coordinates 21°54.1'N, 78°7.3'E. “HomerPro” software package is used to analyse and simulate the cost, efficiency and life cycle operation of the solar PV system

Keyphrases: HomerPro Software, Initial rate of return(IRR), Renewable, cost analysis, life cycle
