Abstract :The research work presents the design and simulation of Grid – Photovoltaic hybrid system for an office complex. In this case, the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State is used as a case study. The purpose of the design is to augment the daily energy demand of School of Graduate Studies. The methodology involved obtaining the available solar irradiation energy data resources within the building of school of graduate studies vicinity with a peak irradiation of 5.242 kWh /m2/day. The load readings were taken from the distribution board of the school for a period of three weeks. The peak electrical load demand of the entire building was estimated to be 37 kVA. The peak load was split into Regular loads of 12 kVA and Basic load of 25 kVA. A total of 96 panels were connected in 8 parallel strings to give an area of about 141.7 m2.
Keywords : DC AC Hybrid, Photovoltaic system, Solar irradiance, maximum power point tracking, electrical loads
