DESIGN AND MODELING A OFF-GRID PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM TO MEET THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY REQUIREMENT OF A HOUSE IN GAZIANTEP REGION, PERFORMING TECHNICAL ANALYSIS AND BASIC SIMULATION

Abstract

Generating energy using by solar energy is one of the most popular alternative energy source applications. Photovoltaic battery applications that generate electricity directly from solar energy are gradually gaining momentum and standalone (Off-Grid) solar-powered electric production in Turkey is becoming increasingly common in recent years. In parallel with these developments, national Photovoltaic (PV) generation technologies are also developing rapidly and taking their place in the markets. In this study, a PV system has been designed for the Gaziantep region to meet the electrical energy needs of a five-person house, meeting the electricity consumption from solar energy with photovoltaic battery application has been examined financially and technically. Electrical project design, mathematical analysis, and feasibility have been performed for a house whose electrical energy need is provided by a PV system. PV systems have been designed to meet the electrical energy needs of a house according to the electrical energy demands. The designed microgrid is modeled and simulated on MATLAB/Simulink with a 24-hours scenario. Simulation results are presented, evaluated, and discussed in detail. Since the designed PV System is designed according to the Gaziantep region conditions, this study can be considered as a model and an example for those who want to obtain electricity from PV energy in Southeastern Anatolia as well.
