Feasibility Study of Electricity Production System Using Floating Solar A Case Study of Wang Din Sor Village, Phitsanulok Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research conduct the feasibility study and design of floating solar photovoltaic system in Phitsanulok province. Four panels of 380 watts solar cell were assembled on the 200 Liter floating plastic buckets, and connected with a charger, an inverter and batteries. The PVSYST program is applied by calculation of the energy production efficiency in the area of Wang din sor village, Wang Thong district, Phitsanulok province. The result of the program’s calculation has shown that, the energy could produce about 2,000 kWh/m2 for 5 hours per day for this site. Moreover, the obtained results these implements are able to supply electricity to electrical devices in household. Low production cost and applicable for remote areas. By economic analysis, the installation cost is approximately 47,380 baht, which the installed electrical system can pay back in about 6 years.
