Optimized Feasibility Analysis for the Design to Set up Solar Power Plant during Operating Hours in the Academic E-Block Area - Case Study

Abstract

This paper is regarding the optimized design feasibility analysis of a solar power plant in our academic area i.e. E-block in Thapar University. For this design analysis, the technical feasibility and financial feasibility has been considered completely. Further, the technical feasibility of the project puts emphasis on irradiation analysis, connected load analysis, rooftop analysis, shadow analysis, load analysis, design of the on-grid system as well as design of the off-grid system. Financial feasibility analysis includes Cost analysis, Payback period, Funding options. This paper also discusses the type of solar power system to be installed based on the conclusions drawn out of the technical analysis for optimal solution for the utilization of block based analysis specifically. The financial feasibility also supports the selection.
