Adaptive design: With this option, each power station (PS) can have different sizes (power) and different DC/AC ratios, so the design complies with the global parameters set by the user. This allows for power stations with different shapes that better fit the perimeter and irregularities of the site, resulting in more total installed capacity.
To make the design it is carried out a methodology for the calculation of the different parameters required for the realization of a project of this nature. Subsequently, the different parameters obtained are compared with parameters obtained in literature and with the parameters obtained by means of specialized PV software (PVsyst and SAM).
A PV solar power plant is a long-term project and political stability is recommended for avoiding a change of the initial terms during the operational life-time of the plant.

In this chapter of the project a description of the main components forming a large-scale PV solar power plant is done. The elements described below are going to be considered during the calculations used for the system design. The components described are: PV modules, inverters, transformers, switchgears and AC and DC cables.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems and concentrated solar power are two solar energy applications to produce electricity on a large-scale. The photovoltaic technology is an evolved technology of renewable energy which is rapidly spreading due to a different factors such as: (i) Its continuous decrease in the costs of the system components.
The modules and inverters selected for the PV plant design are listed below: Trinasolar is a Chinese PV module’s manufacturer which operates also in United States and Europe. In 2014 this company became the first PV modules provider with a total of 3.66 GW of installed capacity.
Adaptive design: With this option, each power station (PS) can have different sizes (power) and different DC/AC ratios, so the design complies with the global parameters set by the user. This allows for power stations with different shapes that better fit the perimeter and irregularities of the site, resulting in more total installed capacity.
Numerous block diagrams, flow charts, and illustrations are presented to demonstrate how to do the feasibility study and detailed design of PV plants through a simple approach. This book includes eight chapters.

Its goal is to provide an overview of the key elements that should be considered when designing and operating solar PV plants, including: location planning; PV design; yield prediction; markets and financing; contracting arrangements; construction, and; operation and maintenance.
Power station in Glynn County, Georgia. The performance of a solar park depends on the climatic conditions, the equipment used and the system configuration. The primary energy input is the global light irradiance in the plane of the solar arrays, and this in turn is a combination of the direct and the diffuse radiation. [85] In some regions soiling, the accumulation of dust or organic …
This chapter introduces fundamentals of solar feasibility studies as well as engineering design methodologies required to construct and operate a viable and reliable solar power system. The subjects are intrinsically related; the solar feasibility study is to be considered as the initial and perhaps most significant phase of the engineering design.
PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) TECHNOLOGY 1.0. SOLAR ENERGY The sun delivers its energy to us in two main forms: heat and light. There are two main types of solar power systems, namely, solar thermal systems that trap heat to warm up water and solar PV systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity as shown in Figure below.
The required wattage by Solar Panels System = 1480 Wh x 1.3 … (1.3 is the factor used for energy lost in the system) = 1924 Wh/day. Finding the Size and No. of Solar Panels. W Peak Capacity of Solar Panel = 1924 Wh /3.2 = 601.25 W Peak. Required No of Solar Panels = 601.25 / 120W. No of Solar Panels = 5 Solar Panel Modules
