Abstract
This paper presents the load analysis and design of stand-alone solar PV system for Uyo High School, Uyo, Akwa Ibom state in Nigeria. The solar potential of this location is 4.71 kWh/m2 /day. The load analysis of the school was carried out in BEopt by varying the schedule to accommodate a building like a school. The system was designed for a load of 7.5 kW and the proposed system will satisfactorily meet the power needs of the school. The dynamic simulation was carried out in MATLAB/Simulink and the system performance was evaluated. A storage battery system was incorporated into the system to provide backup and ensure continued supply to load during bad weather and periods of poor solar insolation. The research indicates that the designed system can meet the power need of the school satisfactorily.
