DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 3KV INVERTER SOLAR POWER SYSTEM
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The demand for energy and related services to support human welfare, health, and economic and
social growth is fast growing. The extraction of fossil fuels underpins the global economy, which
poses a severe threat to the environment and society due to global warming and other
environmental hazards. The use of "green technology" is a scientific knowledge and industrial
know-how with the goal of having a reduced effect on the natural environment. This technology
does not contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases and solar energy is a form of
environmentally friendly technology. In this design and implementation, a total of six (6) offices
with seven (7) energy consuming devices were considered for the solar powered system. The
load design analysis shows that the total wattage for the frequently and occasionally used loads is
2164watts while the daily energy requirements for the same loads equals 17313Watts/hr The
total required volt-ampere in addition to redundancy (allowance) is approximately 3kva. This
analysis therefore, gives the required and suitable solar powered inverter rating of 3kva, two (2)
number of 12v batteries, 12 number of 400w solar panels.
