Techno-Economic Analysis & Optimal Sizing of Rooftops Photovoltaic Utilizability: a Case Study for UET Taxila

EasyChair Preprint 9619

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the viability of Rooftop Photovoltaics (RPV) which have gained a nominal importance due to techno-economic & environmental benefits with better levelized cost of energy. To identify the proposed RPV size and cost PSO and PVsyst are used with inclusion of shading effects and climatic conditions. Results are compared which leads to decision of optimal size, economic viability and dependence of the energy utilization for RPV system. The current study is being carried out at the main campus of University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila whose strategic location will be highly useful in north region of Pakistan, in addition to this various parameter are also analyzed in this feasibility of RPV system such as PR, Lifespan and Carbon footprints reduction which makes it a strong reason for adoption RPV for public sector buildings.
