the design and evaluation of a 100 kw grid connected solar photovoltaic power plant in semnan city

In this paper, a grid connected solar photovoltaic plant has been proposed, and its performance has been evaluated. the performance analysis has been done on a designed 100kw grid connected solar photovoltaic plant in the semnan city. the simulated system comprises 625 cis pv modules. each pv module has a rating of 160wp. all the pv modules are arranged in 25 strings, with each string made up of 25 modules in series. two solar inverters, each having a rating of 50 kw are used for interconnecting with grid. the 100 kw pv system generates 178.99 mwh/year, wich 170.3 mwh/year is injected into the grid. the performance ratio and its total impressed losses have been calculated. the performance ratio of 100kw solar plant in semnan city obtained 83%. finally, the simulation results indicate that the designed solar power plant will prevent 171 tons of gas co2 from being produced during 30 years.
