摘要：

Due to the epileptic power experienced in Nigerian national grid system, an on-grid microgrid system consisting of PV panels, inverter, grid system and diesel generator set is designed and sized for a university community in Nigeria. In this paper, the load profile (kWh) of the campus was determined based on the electric load of the campus. "HOMER" Pro software was then used to design and size a microgrid system for the selected campus based on its electric load and PVWATT software was used to determine the dimension of the area required for the installation of the PV panels. Results from simulation indicates that the dimension of the area required for the PV installation is 17,696m2 and the daily power generated from the microgrid system is always above the electric load of the system. Further analysis shows that 88.0% of the annual energy generated to supply the electric load of the campus can be produced by the PV panels and 12.0% by the grid system. This in turn reduces the amount being spent on electricity bill by the university campus by 88.0%. Economically, the cost of installation of the microgrid system is.295M with a simple payback of 3 years 5 months.
