Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
The incessant power failure in the Faculty of Engineering main building, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, has made the faculty and departmental offices to resort to private generators that cause air and noise pollution in an academic environment.The building, currently being occupied by the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Management Sciences, located on Latitude 4.50N and longitude 7.00E.This research work will proffer solution to the high running cost and its maintenance on diesel generator, it will also tackle problems caused as a result of air pollution in the Faculty.in this work a performance study of number of PV panels/arrays, battery and its analysis will be considered. The data were simulated for Solar PV system using PVSYST V5.55 Software.Inconclusion, the use of PV generator will no doubt enhance performance of the academic conditions or environment of the Staff and Students of the Faculty Engineering Main Building. We recommend that, government should encourage solar power generating system as supplement for distributed generation, Faculty of Engineering should access the abundant solar energy from the sun usingPhotovoltaic (PV) energy harnessing system to reduce the annual fuel and oil, maintenance cost, etc., on her private generating set and also put in place a Renewable Energy research centre in this school to enable student’s growth in this research area.
