| Project Title | Design and Implementation of a Single-Phase Grid Connected PV System |
| Project PI | Prof. Dr.Yousry Attia |
| Project Abstract | The final product of the project is a prototype of a single-phase voltage source inverter to connect a photovoltaic (PV) array of up to 10 kW to the utility electrical grid. It is characterized by its ability to produce a sinusoidal AC with the lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) and has maximum power point tracker to maximize the power of PV under different operating conditions. It also features a user protection system capable of disconnecting the system from the grid at emergency (Islanding). It also has a screen to display different variables as voltage, current and power injected to the grid. The expected impact of this product when designed and produced locally is the widespread use of photovoltaic energy with lower cost of producing electricity from them. This also allows the localization of advanced technology in this field and the provision of foreign currency destined for the production of electric power through conventional fuels. |
| Project Objectives | -Gaining hands on experience on the design and construction of a single-phase grid connected PV system. |
| Project Deliverables | The deliverable from the project is 10 kW photovoltaic grid-connected system. Its specifications are: 10 kW single phase inverter, pure sine wave, unity power factor, maximum power point tracking included, islanding detection and protection, and lowest total harmonic distortion. |
