Optimal Sizing Stand Alone Photovoltaic System Using Evolutionary Programming

The project is about development of Optimal Sizing Software of Stand-alone Photovoltaic System at minimum cost. The software has the capabilities to optimize the PV configuration array and battery bank configuration array at lowest cost using Evolutionary Programming (EP) algorithm. This software also can calculate the system design cost, and the maintenance cost. The result showed best system cost reduction has been achieved using EP algorithm. This method provides a fast solution to give the best result.
