Design of a renewable based PV power supply system for a machine laboratory: Operation and performance analysis
Abstract
Solar energy stands out as a promising solution to global electricity challenges, holding substantial potential for meeting daily energy needs sustainably. This study addresses the critical issue of voltage fluctuations inherent in solar power supply, presenting a comprehensive design and implementation of a 25-kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system for an electrical machine laboratory of the faculty. The integrated system, comprising a DC-DC converter, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm-based controller, three-phase inverter, and different load types, is strategically orchestrated to optimize performance and mitigate voltage inconsistencies. A neat simulation design in the MATLAB/Simulink environment ensures a thorough evaluation of system dynamics, demonstrating the system's capacity for peak PV energy production and efficient power delivery to laboratory loads under various conditions. This research introduces an advanced solution to recurrent power outage challenges in laboratory settings, offering a reliable and renewable power source for a more sustainable and resilient electrical infrastructure.
