| Summary: | This paper aims to present how to improve power
generation capacity in the State of Kuwait through simulation
analysis for maximizing the usage of renewable energy
applications. Power demand in Kuwait increases every year by
6% that causes load-shedding problems in the national utility
grid system. An effective solution is proposed in this paper to
enhance the power demand shortage which leads to reduce the
effects of load demands excesses, by employing some solutions in
the field of solar energy system. The on-grid solar energy system
to be spread on roof of buildings connected to utility grid in
Kuwait is a fantastic solution for backing up the increasing
power demand. In this paper, the research work is directed
towards the study of new approach by adopting power
generation system based on PV on-grid systems installed on
rooftops of commercial and residential buildings. The system
performance analysis is carried out by choosing Mono crystalline
PV modules using PSIM software simulation. This simulation
covers the analysis of power generated by the PV system as an
input passing through a selected maximum power point tracker
(MPPT) to achieve the maximum energy output. A control
algorithm for power regulation has been developed with
maximum power generation of enhanced AC power grid with
power factor close to unity. A reliable tracker for the power
output was shown by the simulation results generated by the
model. |
