Modelling and Simulation of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) System for Energy Efficient Buildings

To meet the increasing energy demand microgrid which can work in both grid connected as well as islanded mode of operation might play an important role. With the help of microgrid, solar energy which is freely available can be utilized to fulfill the energy demand of buildings. This paper proposes a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system for energy efficient buildings. Solar power is the clean and abundantly available among the other renewable energy resources. It can be utilized in the best way using BIPV technology. In this paper the load demand of a building in Punjab (India) and the power output of photovoltaic system have been studied with the help of Matlab Simulation software.
