DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN

INDEPENDENT RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE


(5kVA SOLAR POWERED INVERTER)
 

A MINI PROJECT PRESENTED BY


MUHAMMAD JAMIU ATTA
MENG/SEET/2016/6489

1.0 INTRODUCTION

 Energy plays key role in shaping national economies and


social developments.
 Epileptic power supply is one of the issues we face
every day in Nigeria.
 Cases of power outages in the university affects
academic activities negatively.
 Hence, key offices in the department were selected to
be backed up by independent energy source (solar
power source).

2
1.1 AIM AND OBJECTIVES

 The aim of this project was to design and


implement an independent renewable energy
source (5 KVA solar powered inverter).
The objectives were:
 To carryout survey and obtain the size of the loads
to be powered.
 To design and implement a solar renewable energy
system that will powered the surveyed load.
 To evaluate the performance of the designed and
implemented independent solar renewable energy
system.

1.2 Problem Statement

 Population growth and industrialization on the increase


 Power supply from grid no longer enough
 Need to constantly power key offices
 Hence the need for independent power sorce

1.3 Motivation

 Need to solve the problem of epileptic power supply to


key offices a motivating factor

5.0 CONCLUSION

 Manual sizing of the load profiles of the


installation site was properly done.
 The results obtained show that, the 5KVA
inverter module, four 130W/18A solar
panels, two 200AH deep cycle batteries, and
a 24V, 40A charge controller has safety
assurance for life and properties.
 The system was finally tested for faults (of
any kind) and was passed to be efficient. A
stable power supply was achieved.

5.1 RECOMMENDATION

 The following areas are identified for future work


on the completion of this research work.
 The economic analysis of an additional or an
upgrade of the inverter capacity due to its ability
to power office equipment can be carried out.
 Another approach in increasing the efficiency of
the battery Energy Storage System is; by
oversizing the Battery that is; increasing the
number of batteries since there will be an
upgrade of the inverter capacity in the future.
