Assessment of Off-Grid Photovoltaic System Feasibility: A Dual Simulation Approach for Economic Viability and Performance in the Mediterranean Region

Abstract

This study investigates the feasibility and economic viability of off-grid photovoltaic systems in the Mediterranean region, specifically focusing on a detached house located in Üçoluk Plateau, Antalya Province. The research employs dual simulation software, PVSyst and Homer Pro, to model and analyze the PV system's performance and cost effectiveness. The designed system incorporates a PV panel, battery storage, and an inverter, facilitating energy generation and storage to enhance reliability during periods of low solar radiation. The findings underscore the importance of energy storage solutions in off-grid applications and demonstrate that the proposed system can significantly reduce energy costs while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, this study advocates for the adoption of PV systems as a sustainable and economically advantageous energy source in regions with high solar potential, highlighting their role in promoting renewable energy initiatives and supporting environmental sustainability goals.

Şebeke Dışı Fotovoltaik Sistem Olanaklılığının Değerlendirilmesi: Akdeniz Bölgesinde Ekonomik Uygulanabilirlik ve Performans için Çift Simülasyon Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Akdeniz bölgesindeki şebeke dışı fotovoltaik sistemlerin fizibilitesini ve ekonomik uygulanabilirliğini incelemekte olup, özellikle Antalya ili Üçoluk Yaylası'nda bulunan müstakil bir eve odaklanmaktadır. Araştırmada, PV sisteminin performansını ve maliyet etkinliğini modellemek ve analiz etmek için PVSyst ve Homer Pro olmak üzere çift simülasyon yazılımı kullanılmaktadır. Tasarlanan sistemde, elektrik enerjisi üretimi için PV paneller, üretilen DC akımlı elektriğin depolanması için batarya üniteleri ve AC elektriğe çevrilmesi için inverterler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, şebeke dışı uygulamalarda enerji depolama çözümlerinin önemini vurgulamakta ve önerilen sistemin enerji maliyetlerini önemli ölçüde azaltırken sera gazı emisyonlarını en aza indirebileceğini göstermektedir. Genel olarak, bu çalışma, yüksek güneş potansiyeline sahip bölgelerde PV sistemlerinin sürdürülebilir ve ekonomik olarak avantajlı bir enerji kaynağı olarak benimsenmesini savunmakta, yenilenebilir enerji girişimlerini teşvik etmedeki ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerini desteklemedeki rollerini öne çıkarmaktadır.
