Design a 100 kW Photovoltaic Power Plant in Isfahan- Economic and Environmental Study

In this paper a 100 kW solar power plant is designed in Isfahan and has been studied economically and environmentally. It has been investigated to determine the distance of the panels from each other in order to prevent shadows on the modules the proper angle of the panels to estimate the optimal efficiency of the system and the proper arrangement of the arrays. Then it is stated the calculation of costs for investment performance coefficient and calculation of output power. The results show that the design of this power plant prevents the entry of amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and according to the output power is provided, a percentage of the energy of an educational environment (Isfahan University of Medical Sciences). Finally, the default sample was compared with a real power plant in operation and the design was shown to be correct.
