Design and Simulation of Solar Farm In Basedth District Kampong Speu Province

The Government of Cambodia has set a goal to supply 100% of all villages with electricity by 2020. In fact, in 2015, the supply was 62%. Electricity consumption in Cambodia is growing at an average annual rate of 6.9%. Seeing the shortage of energy in the future, many PV Power Plant projects have been installed in the past few years. In Svay Rieng province, PV Power Plant was completed in 2017 with a capacity of 15 MWac. In Kampong Speu province, the PV Power Plant was completed in 2019 with a capacity of 60 MWac, and in Kampong Chhnang province, there is a PV Power Plant project of 100 MWac. PV Power Plant has become a popular power plant because it provides reliable, noise​free, non-toxic environment with higher yields and lower solar panel prices.
For this study processes for 2016 kW PV Power Plant was designed by installing solar panels on 2 Hectares of land. The energy generated is used in conjunction with the National Grid for selling energy to EDC.
The study included estimates of solar radiation, solar panel alignment and generation, energy loss forecasts in PV systems, and performance ratios for the system. The results of the study showed that the PV plant has a high energy density which is suitable for installing a PV Power Plant. In addition estimated power generation for the first year is 2,892,659.4 MWh MWh with performance ratio between 81.246074% to 81.967654% and the plant could reduce CO2 emissions by 46,688.609 tons in 25 years.This system uses Mono-crystalline Module
