Modeling and Simulation of Grid-Tied Three-Phase PV System in Lahore, Pakistan

Abstract

This research examines the implementation of grid-tied solar inverters in Lahore’s energy infrastructure, considering the city’s growing energy demands. Utilizing MATLAB/Simulink for modeling solar photovoltaic systems in Lahore’s arid climate, our study focuses on a house in Askari X housing society, Lahore, Pakistan, with a 5.1 kW load. The results demonstrate the expected system variation of a Grid-Tied PV System during grid disruptions, and the model’s consistent performance across varying irradiance conditions suggests potential economic advantages through net metering. These findings offer practical insights into the economic feasibility and dependability of grid-tied solar inverters in Lahore, highlighting their potential to contribute to the city’s energy needs.
