Abstract
- The implementation of a distribution generation (DG) system is used to meet rapidly increasing electricity demand while reducing power reliability issues. Power from the distribution system may be interrupted for a variety of reasons, but DG can provide power during those interruption hours. The main goal of this paper is to design and model a 500 kW solar farm in Arba Minch, Ethiopia. PVsyst software is used to assess and model a 500 kW solar system. Maximum solar irradiation of 2,067 kW/m2 is achieved at a tilt angle of 15°. The annual energy production is 878 MWh with an efficiency ratio of 83 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
