Design and Analysis of a 1.1 kW BIPV-Based Residential Grid-Connected System

摘要

Building integrated photovoltaic (BlPV)-based residential system is emerging in the recent scenario where buildings or residential places generate clean energy in the distribution side. In this paper, detailed design and analysis of a 1.1 kW BIPV-based residential grid-connected system in MATLAB/Simulink software is presented. The main objective of this paper is to utilize and simulate residential bifacial BIPV modules as photovoltaic (PV) generators instead of conventional PV modules. Two-stage DC-DC boost converter along with single-phase full-bridge (1Φ-FB) grid-connected inverter (GCI) and the design of L-C-L filter is effectively described. The overall proposed 1.1 kW BIPV-based residential grid-connected system is mathematically modeled and simulated. This infers the importance of BIPV-based grid-connected system in the upcoming scenario for integrating renewable energy into the existing grid.
