Abstract

This paper presents a study of the performance of a photovoltaic (PV) diesel hybrid system (PVHS) at the Energy Park of the School of Renewable Energy Technology (SERT), Naresuan University, Thailand. The system facility is a part of a cooperative program to develop PVHS in rural areas of Thailand. The implementation of the field test has successfully been done in the context of a research project. The PVHS installation based on the modular expandable AC-couple concept was developed by the Institut für Solare Energieversorgungstechnik (ISET), Germany. It has been proven to be an efficient operation for power supply systems. The evaluation of the system demonstrated that the final yield is about 3.46 kWh/kWp and the daily average energy produced by the diesel generator is 0.12 kWh/kW. The data shows the used energy produced by the PV is about 73%. The performance ratio of system is 64%.
