Design of Sizing Algorithms for a Direct Current Off-Grid Photovoltaic Installation

This paper presents a novel methodology for the sizing of an off-grid photovoltaic DC microgrid with emphasis on cost reduction and design simplification. The sizing algorithms used to design and build each of the subsystems of the installation are also presented and validated by the SimPowerSystem tool. The methodology has been tested on a real building, the hall of residence from the University ...
