ECONOMIC AND EMISSION ANALYSIS OF PV SYSTEM,SOLAR THERMAL SYSTEM, HYBRID SYSTEMS FOR RURAL ROW HOUSES

Abstract

The Emission and Economic analysis is undertaken to prove that Hybrid PV/Solar-Thermal (PVT) systems is optimized for distributing electricity and hot-water for rural row houses. For this study, Kallipatti village in Coimbatore District is chosen. The Rural Row Houses load capacity is 3KW and 700 liters of hot water is required daily. The emission and economic analysis was carried out for Conventional system, Photovoltaic (PV) system, Solar Thermal System and Hybrid PV and Solar-Thermal(PVT) system individually. From the Emission analysis, the PVT system has less carbon dioxide emission when compared to other systems. The Economic analysis shows that Photovoltaic(PV) System is less cost. But for generating both electricity and hot water, hybrid PV/solar-thermal (PVT) system is optimal when compared with installing Photovoltaic (PV) system for electricity and Solar-Thermal (PVT) system for hot water. The simulation is carried out by using MATLAB
