ANALYSIS OF ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF PV/SOLAR THERMAL/HYBRID PVT SYSTEM IN HOSTEL APPLIANCES

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to determine the performance of hybrid systems which consists of solar thermal
collectors. The study is taken out by analyzing the behavior of the designed systems and implemented in KCT hostel
building. The calculations of primary energy consumption, Emissions and the inclusion of a Life Cycle Cost analysis
are the major contribution. Photovoltaic panels will produce part of the electricity. Solar thermal collectors will reduce
the energy required for DHW (domestic hot water) production. This project is implemented for hostel room and
cooking purpose. Then analyze the hybrid system which consists of solar PV, PV thermal, solar PV thermal system.
Choose the best hybrid system which suitable to hostel mess. With this system, MPPT (maximum power point
tracking) is used to extract maximum power.
