Professor, Electronics and Communication Engineering Department Amity University Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior (M.P), India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - As the power demand in industry as well as domestic area is sharply increasing day by day resulting in the growing emission of harmful gases by the diesel generators which is polluting our environment. Modern world's enhanced commercial activities and rapid growing industrialization are increasing the peak of electricity demand in a significant way. As most of the power generation in India is based on coal which emits lots of co2 and other harmful gases. These gases are the major sources of various environmental problems like climate change, ozone layer depletion, melting of glaciers, global warming and its associated consequences. This paper discusses the power sharing by the solar Photo Voltaic (PV) panel of a microgrid with help of HOMER legacy software and also discusses the power quality of the system. Key Words: HOMER, PV, Solar PV, Load Sharing 1. INTRODUCTION Microgrid is interconnected system of generators and electrical load for a local area it provides viable solution for villages and remote areas, where the grid connectivity is not proper and cost of electricity per Kwh generated by diesel generator is very high and also the fuel is non renewable, therefore there is a requirement to switch from diesel generator to renewable energy sources like solar Photo Voltaic (PV)[1,8].PV Connected microgrid modelling is done. 1.1 PV CELL Model The components of a PV system depend on the type of application (stand-alone or grid). The main element of these installations is the PV module, which consists of a set of photovoltaic cells that produce electricity from the light that strikes them. Fig -1: PV cell Model Photovoltaic is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar Radiation Into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect [2]. There are input parameters to determine PV Component in PSCAD model. First, the weather condition Includes (solar Irradiance and Temperature). In this paper the weather data used for Malanpur area of Madhya Pradesh measured in December from International Weather for Energy Calculation. 1.2 PV Array Model and Microgrid Design the default parameters that determine the Electrical Data for PV module for central inverter [3], and subsequently, the Performance of PV-Array is shown in Figure 2. The output power for one module is 200 watt and the nameplate capacity for PV Arrayͳ ≈ ʹͲ KW with total number of modules 100. A microgrid is designed using software as shown in Figure.3.
