2 Design Approach Choose design Insolation Determine battery capacity and relationship between controller LVD and DOD Determine PV array current output as function of Insolation Assess charge /discharge daily cycle for required load (Ah) SHS Design 2

3 Design Insolation Nabouwalu Insolation records used for design of Bua Province Solar-Home- Systems SHS Design 3

4 Nabouwalu Insolation kwh/m^2-day Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Month 4

5 Nabouwalu, Fiji: Pyranometer and Satellite (Cell: 280 km x 280 km) Satellite ( ) 1998 Average kwh/m^2-day Pyranometer Average Satellite "Corrected" Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Month 5

6 Component Selection Battery Voltage Regulator (Controllers), Inverters, Batteries, Lights and Pre-Payment devices were tested at Kahua Ranch, Hawaii Shell Solar PowerHouse integrated system was selected with batteries from Pacific Batteries Ltd, Fiji SHS Design 6

7 Design Data Requirements (Kahua Test Center & Nabouwalu Hybrid) For design applications (e.g., PV-lights, Wind Farms) Solar (insolation) and Wind (speed and direction) parameters should be sampled every one to two seconds and recorded in the form of averages for an interval of 10-minutes to 60-minutes The standard deviation and extreme samples (e.g., max and min sample) should also be recorded SHS Design 7

8 Measurement Requirements (Kahua Test Center & Nabouwalu Hybrid) Parameter Wind Speed Insolation Current (240 VDC Hybrid) Current (12 VDC SHS) Voltage (240 VDC Hybrid) Voltage (12 VDC SHS) Uncertainty ± 0.5 m/s ± 10 W/m 2 ± 1.2 A ± 0.1 A ± 1 VDC ± 0.1 VDC SHS Design 8

9 Measurement Requirements (continuation) By Uncertainty I mean that given a large measurement sample, the true value of a parameter, P, lies in the range: P ± Uncertainty Uncertainty should be estimated from endto-end calibration (from sensor element to recording device). Typically, it is given by standard deviation of recorded data SHS Design 9

22 Array-to-Load Ratio To optimize battery life, the array average-daily- Ah-output should be at least 1.3 times the averagedaily-load (Ah) during the month with lowest Insolation With 3 A modules in a site with lowest Insolation month at 3 kwh/m 2 -day and daily load of 17 Ah (3.4A x 5h) the array current output should be at least 7.4 A (=17 x 1.3/3) requiring 3 modules. Alternatively, users could lower load to 13.6 Ah (3.4A x 4h) requiring 2 modules SHS Design 22

23 Pole Embedment Depth To select pole embedment depth the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Manual was used See hand-out # 16A Bua Pole Cohesive Soil Embedment Depth For 5 m x 20 cm diameter pine poles and embedment depth of 1.5 m was selected SHS Design 23

24 Home Work: Design SHS Group A) Use Monosavu Insolation* Group B) Use Nadi Insolation* *[Insolation Data Records: File #10]

25 Generalities Highest values at Nadi Airport with long-term annual average of daily insolation at 5.1 kwh/m 2 Vanua Balavu, in Lau Group, yields a value of 5 kwh/m 2 Around Bua Province (Vanua Levu) the value is ~ 4.5 kwh/m 2 Lowest value at Monosavu Dam (808 m elevation) with long-term annual average of daily insolation at 3.7 kwh/m 2 SHS Design 25

26 kwh/m^2-day Nadi Airport: Monthly Averages of Daily Insolation Source: Daily Averages from Fiji Meteorological Service ( ) Month SHS Design Avrg

27 Monosavu: Monthly Averages of Daily Insolation Source: Daily Averages from Fiji Meteorological Service ( ) 8 7 kwh/m^2-day Avrg Month SHS Design 27

28 Home Work (continuation) Service load of 17 Ah/day is target You have 50 Wp (3A) & 75 Wp (4.5 A) modules available (for Bua Province with Nabouwalu Insolation 2 x 50 Wp modules were required for service 365 days/year) Be creative, in addition to baseline design consider variations (e.g., reduce load, less than 365 days/year, etc.) SHS Design 28
