Study and design of a photovoltaic system on the TR10 building’s roof in the Campus Terrassa of the UPC

The following thesis addresses the study, design, simulation and analysis of a photovoltaic system located on the roof of the TR10 building in the Campus Terrassa of the UPC. The solar radiation and solar geometry are first introduced, and the working principle of a photovoltaic system is explained. A generic photovoltaic system has been studied and the different possible configurations and typologies are presented. The consumption of the specific building has been analysed. The typology, size and components have been chosen according to the logistic conditions, electrical constrains and economical criteria that is presented. A specific photovoltaic system located in Terrassa has been modelled and designed. A 2D and 3D design has been virtually made and the electrical scheme has been designed. The designed system has been simulated and analysed with the PVsyst software. The total production and economical predictions have been calculated, simulated, compared, exposed and analysed. Finally, the conclusions have been exposed and ideas for future studies are suggeste
