Abstract
Solar energy has incredible potential to power our daily lives. Researchers
suggest that the amount of sunlight striking the Earth's surface in one and half
hour is enough to handle the energy consumption of the entire world for an
entire year. Solar power system is one of the best renewable energy
technologies that are not only cost effective but also environmentally friendly.
Sebha city suffer from fluctuating of electricity and power blackout occurs
many time during the last years. This due to imbalance between power
generation and power consumption. Power cut is critical at some sites in the
city like hospitals, water supply station, education institutions. The department
of renewable energy engineering at Sebha university suffers from power cut
prolong more than five hours during summer time. This effect the study plan in
the department. The purpose of this project is to design PV system for the
department to supplies electricity during power cut. The PV system will be offgrid system install on the roof of the department building. A backup battery
will be used as stand up power source in the worst weather and during the early
morning hours in winter time when the solar radiation is low. This project will
focus on how a disconnected/autonomous systems approach can help reduce
dependence on the grid and allow us to live self-sufficient without relying on
one or more utilities. We designed the PV system of department of a renewable
energy building using SAM simulation software
