Study of Solar Photovoltaic Systems to Improve Energy Efficiency for Chennai Flats
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Energy plays an important role in our daily life as well as in the national security of a country. It also runs as the wheel of economy of the country. The recent increase in energy prices, population and industrialization are the most significant threats to energy security. The energy demand is increasing day by day with population growth indicating poor utilization of energy. But Tamilnadu is blessed by plenty of renewable energy possibilities which can be used to eliminate energy scarcity problem and to get a sustainable economic growth. This research focuses mainly on solar energy as a sustainable and renewable choice of technology for the Chennai apartments. Since Chennai has better potential in solar power. In this research different types of apartments were taken into consideration in Chennai for analysis of power consumption and based upon the requirements, various solar PV are compared to support and generate power. A detailed analysis on cost management, payback assessment and carbon footprints have been done based on the data’s collected from various Project officers, electrical consultant engineer’s and Project manager of different organizations in Chennai. The results show that up to 60% of electricity bill can be saved by using solar panels in apartments. Among various solar panels, mono crystalline solar panel is found to be effective. Though the cost of solar panels are more it can generate better income when the plant is located on suitable site and fast term on payback time
