Optimisation d’un système solaire photovoltaïque pour la Médiathèque de l’université de Ain-Temouchent à l’aide de PVSYST

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the design and sizing of a photovoltaic system intended to supply electricity to the media library of the University of Aïn Témouchent. The study begins with a general overview of renewable energy sources, with a particular emphasis on photovoltaic (PV) energy and the operating principle of solar cells. A detailed description of the various components of a PV system—such as solar panels, batteries, and inverters—is then provided. To assess the system's performance, simulations were carried out using the PVSYST software. These simulations allowed us to generate production curves and analyze key indicators such as the annual specific yield and overall system efficiency. The study also considers meteorological conditions at the installation site, including solar irradiance and ambient temperature, which directly affect the system‘s performance. Finally, an economic assessment of the project was conducted to evaluate its feasibility and profitability. This work thus aims to demonstrate the technical and economic viability of using photovoltaic solar energy in the university sector.
