Sizing of a grid-connected photovoltaic installation in a housing estate

Abstract

This diploma thesis has the objective of designing a photovoltaic installation connected to the network in a housing estate with 33 houses at Villaverde de Pontones, Cantabria. It covers the selection of the components as well as the calculation of the cross section of the conductors in each part of the installation and the analysis of the generated and consumed power. The entire analysis is repeated for a reduced number of PV modules which match the yearly energy consumption of the observed household.
