摘要

The design and simulation of a 2-MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant utilizing MATLAB Simulink are presented in this paper. It covers all of the fundamentals of solar PV technology, such as balance-of-system (BOS) components, PV modules, and grid-tied inverters. To simulate the plant’s operation under different scenarios and get insights into energy production and efficiency, a Simulink model is designed with variable solar irradiance ranging from 100 W/m2–1000 W/m2 and at 25 °C constant temperature as input. The system’s techno-economic viability is also assessed in the study, with particular consideration given to financial incentives. The installation cost is estimated at ₹70 million, capital and operating costs are ₹7 lakh per year, and important economic parameters include the payback period, calculated for the community at the rate of 7.5 per kWh as 2.6 years and for the grid as 5.9 years. The analysis concludes that a 2-MW solar PV plant provides an economical and sustainable way to meet energy needs by annually producing 26,40,000 kWh. The paper culminates with a discourse on system design aspects that are imperative for attaining optimal performance and cost-effectiveness by estimating annual revenue electricity sales as ₹84,48,000 in the proposed solar photovoltaic power plant. The estimated CO2 mitigation is 1848 MT/year, and SO2 and NOx reductions are evaluated at 5.026 MT/year and 6.8 MT/year, respectively. Overall, this study shows that a 2-MW solar PV plant that is well designed, optimized, and simulated using MATLAB Simulink can offer a dependable, sustainable, and financially feasible way to meet electricity demands while also helping to reduce carbon emissions.
