Feasibility Study Of Rooftop Photovoltaic Power System For A Research Institute Towards Green Building In Vietnam

Abstract

Use of renewable power technology in urban area can help the buildings to minimize the carbon footprint, meet theelectricity needs and achieve the nearly zero-energy building. In this study, the design results of the rooftop grid-tied PVpower system with the capacity of 56.7kW for a research institute building in Vietnam are analyzed. The study resultshave calculated the electricity generation, performance of the rooftop grid-tied PV power system as well as reductionpotential of the amount of CO2 emitted into the environment. The design results of the rooftop grid-tied PV power systemfor a research institute building will be compared with the actual power generation results of an installed rooftop grid-tiedPV power system at a building of General Directorate of Energy - Vietnam Ministry of Industry and Trade in the samecity.
