About Lesson
Simulation and Optimization
a. Performance Simulation:
- Software Tools: Use simulation software (e.g., PVsyst, SAM) to model the system’s performance based on the design parameters, including energy production, efficiency, and potential losses.
- Energy Yield Analysis: Estimate the expected energy output and financial savings over the system’s lifetime.
b. Cost Analysis:
- Initial Costs: Calculate the total cost of the system, including equipment, installation, and any additional components.
- Return on Investment (ROI): Analyze the financial benefits, including savings on energy bills, potential incentives, and payback period.
