Unified Vision for a Sustainable Future (CEGS 2024)

Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive analysis of the planning, design, and implementation of photovoltaic (PV) systems, emphasizing their role in sustainable rural electrification and renewable energy integration. The chapter begins by examining the integration of solar energy into the electricity market, highlighting its contribution to energy security and climate change mitigation. It deals with the challenges and dynamics of incorporating distributed energy resources, with a special focus on solar PV systems. The chapter methodically explores the planning and design aspects of PV systems, considering factors like site location, climatic conditions, and grid connectivity. A case study on electrifying a rural community provides practical insights into the application of these principles. This chapter further details the components, specifications, and costs of PV systems, presenting exhaustive tables and guidelines for implementation. It also includes calculations and estimations essential for system balance and optimization, covering environmental, technical, and economic aspects. The chapter concludes with a discussion of lessons learned and provides a comprehensive conclusion, synthesizing the key findings and implications of the study for future renewable energy projects.
