Abstract:

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources. In Bangladesh, the geographical situation is better suited for solar renewable energy. The main fact for generating more energy in the PV power plant is sufficient regular radiation and tracking system is one of the major conditions for highly generation. The average daily solar energy obtained in Bangladesh is 4-6.5 kWh / m2/day. which is highly suitable for generation of electricity through solar PV. Slope of panel and generation of electricity are inter related. It can make highly electricity from PV plant using an acceptable slope of using tracking system. The highly generation of electricity is related with (generation cost, Benefit-Cost ratio, Greenhouse Gas etc.). The main objective of this paper is to concentrate on Bangladesh lands that are suitable for PV power plants cost and also to find the relation between slope and azimuth. Finding minimum generation cost and highly yielding for PV power plant in Bangladesh. Also find the minimum generation cost for the best slope range. Analysis between Azimuth and the average generation cost for suitable Azimuth angle for Bangladesh. Study reveals that the region of Northern part Bangladesh is more suited to power plants with PV.

Description:

Bangladesh is a booming nation with a total population of 164 million now, with more than 46 percent below the age of 25 years, most of whom are acclimatized to grow up in their homes with electronic devices. And with the increasing urbanization and growth of rural and suburban areas, the availability of electricity plays a crucial role in raising the living standards of people and the country. Over the past decade, energy demand in Bangladesh has risen at an average rate of 10 per cent. [1] However the production of the drug must always be at the same pace. As of September 2019, Bangladesh's utility electricity sector has one national grid with an installed capacity of 21.419 MW. The total capacity installed is 20,000 MW (to combine solar power) and it is estimated that inadequate energy supplies cost the country 2 percent of GDP per year. In FY18 new capacity was 2,817 MW. [2] The Bangladesh electricity sector is highly dependent on fossil fuels, as natural gas and coal are the dominant sources of power generation in the country. Around 62.9% of the electricity generated in Bangladesh comes from natural gas, 10% from diesel, 5% from coal, 3% from heavy oil and 3.3% from renewable sources. Despite the fact that the energy sector in Bangladesh uses and covers a wide range of products; electricity, petroleum products, natural gas, coal, biomass and solar, policymakers and decision-makers are mainly concerned with electricity, since it is the most common form of energy used in the country.
