Optimal Sizing and Design of Stand-Alone PV System Supplying Gas Well in Delta Egypt

Emad Ahmed Sweelem

This paper presents a design for a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system to provide the required electricity for a gas well located in Delta Egypt. The complete design steps for the proposed gas well loads are carried out. Site radiation data and the electrical load data of a typical gas well in the considered site are taken into account during the design steps. The reliability of the system is quantified by the loss of load probability. A computer program is developed to simulate the PV system behavior and to numerically find an optimal combination of PV array and battery bank for the design of stand-alone photovoltaic systems in terms of reliability. Simulations results showed that a value of loss of load probability LLP = 0 can be met by several combinations of PV array and battery storage. This paper describes the design steps in stand alone photovoltaic system that include sizing of PV modules, battery storages and charge controller.
