PV Systems Design with PVSyst and SOLERGO

Content covered

• Three-dimensional modeling of photovoltaic plants on computers with PVSyst and SOLERGO software.
• Use of software for the design and dimensioning of photovoltaic systems (from micro and mini-generation systems to solar plants).
• Shading analysis of photovoltaic systems in solar plants and roofs, considering the proximity between modules and the slope, the horizon, nearby obstacles (buildings, towers, vegetation, etc.) and roof geometry.
• Simulation exercises and case studies of solar plants and micro-generation systems (up to 100 kW) and mini-generation (up to 5 MW).
• Technical characteristics of the components of a photovoltaic solar system.
• Specification and sizing of components of a photovoltaic system (solar plants and micro and mini distributed generation systems).
• Study of the positioning of photovoltaic modules and arrays in solar plants and distributed generation systems. Analysis of fixed and tracking systems.
• Computer simulation of photovoltaic systems with software and calculation of electrical energy, FC (capacity factor) and PR (performance rate) based on climate bases.
• Design verification and validation of components using software.
• Generation of performance reports and analysis of the main causes of losses in photovoltaic systems
• Analysis of ANEEL Resolution No. 482, operation of the credit compensation system and requirements for requesting access to the distribution network.
• Comments on ABNT NBR standards on grid-connected photovoltaic systems.
• Analysis of the financial return of the system connected to the electrical grid.
• Uniform diagram, reports and automatic forms for project submission.

Workload

16 hours of classes (2 days) with theory exposition and project exercises with PVSyst and SOLERGO software.

Target Audience

This is an advanced photovoltaic system design course aimed at engineering professionals, technicians or professionals from other areas who have basic knowledge of electricity and photovoltaic systems. The course is aimed at professionals from large companies, linked to the design and implementation of solar plants, as well as professionals linked to the project of installing photovoltaic systems connected to the grid of any size (micro and mini-generation systems).

Courseware

• Course booklet – included in registration rates and students during the course.
• The student can bring a notebook with the Windows operating system and a mouse. Students using Mac computers must install the VirtualBox software, available at this link.
