Abstract

The Energy Efficiency laboratory at the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology (FTKEE) placed several Grid-connected Photovoltaic (GCPV) System units for education purposes. However, the laboratory does not have the Stand-alone PV (SAPV) System type for the student reference. Hence, this project aimed to convert one of the existing unused 300-Watt GCPV systems into a SAPV system. A standalone typed 300-Watt PV inverter, an intelligent typed charge controller based on a DC-DC converter, a 12 V battery system, and PV balance of systems such as cables, protective devices and structures. An artificial lighting imitates the sunlight was done using 12 pieces of incandescent light bulb rating 100 watts each. This paper will explain details regarding the results and finding which is present in a SAPV system. It is also hoped that this conversion project will benefit the teaching and learning of the FTKEE students in the future.
