AB  -              Economic Analysis, Modeling, Simulation and Optimization                         of a Photo-Voltaic (PV) System                                            ABSTRACTThis paper is concerned with the economic analysis as well as modeling, simulation andoptimization of a Photo-voltaic (PV) system. The impact of PV system location, wattage cost,loan interest rates, and government incentives on its economics is analyzed. Modeling,simulation and Optimization of the PV system is accomplished using Microsoft Excel and itssolver functions. A user friendly Microsoft Excel application has been developed to perform theeconomic analysis and system optimization. Economic analysis results clearly show that futureresearch emphasis must be placed on developing more efficient PV system materials at lowerwattage cost. The simulation and optimization results of the system are compared and are inagreement with experimental data reported for the MSX 60 PV system. Furthermore, to the bestof the authors’ knowledge, this is the first reported work where Microsoft Excel, an inexpensiveand widely used tool, is used to model and optimize a PV system.Note: this student led paper is to be considered for poster presentation.
