Energy situation in Malawi is continuing facing critical challenges to satisfy the existing demand. However, energy consumption and energy conservation studies have been neglected to help overcome this problem. In this paper, electric energy audit was conducted for a commercial building in Mchinji, Malawi, in order to identify energy-saving opportunities. The study employed a mixed method research which involved a series of surveys, observation, data collection, and analysis. The current energy consumption was determined and compared with the proposed energy consumption after replacing some equipment. The proposed system saved up to 33.46% of energy. The study also suggested behavior change towards energy saving. Additionally, an alternative energy system was also suggested. Thus, the HOMER software was employed to design, optimize, and analyze a solar-battery-grid-connected energy system. The proposed system has a simple payback period of 9.8 years. The system’s cost of energy was estimated as 0.0372 $/kWh, and the capital cost was $ 150,887.

“…When there is a large concentration of roof-top PV systems, the instantaneous power output can occasionally surpass the immediate power consumption [13]. As a result of the power imbalance, power flows to the low voltage transformer, which forms the medium voltage transformer, suggesting that net power flows backwards to low-voltage transformers from the medium voltage.…”

Nowadays, energy storage system is utilized in many countries for energy planning in the future. The changes in solar radiation lead to the overproduction of electricity in a solar photovoltaic generator. A hybrid energy storage system would play an important role in enhancing the reliability of power generation using the solar system. The microgrid is the indispensable infrastructure of the smart grid in photovoltaic systems. In this paper, the energy storage system within the microgrid of the PV system is analysed. The storage system configuration and topologies of the microgrid are analysed with power electronic interference, control scheme, and optimization of the renewable source and energy storage system. A general sizing technique for HESS in a PV system based on pinch analysis and design space. The size of HESS scales that connect generator ratings to storage capacity is created by utilizing the pinch analysis on load and resource data. The design space is a feasible combination of a short-, long-, and medium-sized energy storage system in a PV generator.

The present day demand due to the reduction of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis has enforced an urgent seek for alternative energy sources a well-acknowledged as renewable energy sources. In India the integration of solar PV generation in the utility grid is attainment high popularity. Consequently, the solar panel interfaced with the grid cause the power quality issues such as voltage regulation, flickers, harmonics etc. In this paper solar grid integration technology, challenges of integration & their mitigations techniques such as FACTS devise and power electronics are discussed. The key objective of this paper is to identify the problems associated with grid connected solar power system and the study of implementation of new projects of solar PV grid integration without repeating apparent challenges faced in prevailing plans and prepare data for scientists and researchers on feasibility of SPV grid integration.
