Abstract

This paper presents the evaluation performance of 15kWp hybrid power system based on AC Coupled PV Diesel Hybrid power system in Malaysia. The system consists of 15 kWp of Photovoltaic (PV) array, 11.4 kW of inverter, 36000 AH of total battery capacity, 10kW bi-directional (BD) inverter and 12 kVA of diesel generator (DG). The system provides electricity to one of remote schools in Sabah, East Malaysia. Seven months data were analyzed and evaluated based on Malaysian Standard, MS IEC 61724. The performance indices give indicator the condition of the system during the analysis period.
