Is there an intelligent method for sizing optimization in grid-connected photovoltaic system?
Sulaiman SI, Rahman TKA, Musirin I, et al. (2012) An intelligent method for sizing optimization in grid-connected photovoltaic system.
A 900 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic system is chosen as a case study in this research. Results show that a 26.9% reduction in total cable length as compared to the conventional approach is achieved by the proposed method. Meanwhile, the proposed method offered a better configuration of required solar inverters (size and location).
Thus, when designing a grid-connected PV system, designers should carefully consider the proper size of the PV array and inverter, the optimum size of the AC and DC distribution network (length, size, and distribution), shading impact, adherence to local regulations and grid requirements, and many other factors (Khatib et al., 2016).
