Peak Shaving Using Grid-Connected Solar Panels Case Study: Ministry of Islamic Affairs Mosque
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the application of renewable energy, namely solar energy for peak shaving during peak loads and to investigate of the feasibility of using grid-connected solar system for electricity generation in Ministry of Awqaf mosques. PVsyst software is used to find the optimal design for total connected load of 80 kW. The technical performance of 80 kWphotovoltaic (PV) solar systems grid-connected was tested. Applying renewable energy in building is required by Kuwait government, all sectors should use 30% of the consumed energy from renewable energy in year 2030. The total cost of solar system for 1400 mosques is around 145 million KD; the total cost of energy is 11 million per year according to 0.058fils which mean that the payback period within 13 years.Based on the study results, the development of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)solar system in Awqaf mosques in Kuwait could be economically viable and provide peak shaving during peak loads.
