“Designing and Simulation using Software’s PV SYST & HELIOSCOPE for Mitigating Challenges of Grid Connected PV Based Solar Plant”

Abstract

India is having large potential of renewable energy for which Govt of India has a plan to develop 100GW solar generation. Out of which commissioning of 60 GW Distributed RE generation has been the beginning of an era of de-licensed generation. Paper emphasis on the need for active involvement of distribution companies (DISCOMS) for strong scalability of pilot projects concept under clustered solar agriculture feeder in rural areas and its power evacuation with high degree of performance indicators. In this paper we have discussed various issues regarding grid connected ground mounted solar plant with its energy generation, solar insolation, project sizing/designing tools like PV SYST & HELIOSCOPE software with simulation analysis. Paper covers analysis of above software results for critically study annual energy generation & to mitigate its challenges.
