Paper Title
Analysis for Cost Saving of Industrial Building with Grid Connected Roof Top Solar PV System
Abstract
The objective of this study is to decrease the energy expenses of a woven bag factory by designing a grid-tied
solar photovoltaic (PV) system on the rooftop of the factory building. The implementation of a solar PV system aims to meet
the high demand for electrical energy in the factory, offices, and public areas while minimizing costs. This research involved
the utilization of Helioscope software to design the rooftop areas of the factory and the evaluation of the factory's energy
costs using Homer software. The grid tied rooftop PV system was constructed as an appropriate system model that
incorporates the performance of energy load, grid, and PV using MATLAB/Simulink. The analysis of the simulation results
demonstrates that the project generates approximately 672MWh of energy annually, which accounts for approximately 72%
of the performance ratio in the woven bag factory. Moreover, the electricity generation process from the solar PV system has
the potential to save 2360.40 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
