Abstract

This paper reports on the feasibility of using various Photovoltaic (PV) systems namely; Grid PV (GPV), Stand-Alone PV (SAPV), Grid PV Wind (GPVW) and PV Wind (PVW) for supplying the power requirements of a window-type air-conditioning system or other small loads. It was found that the GPVW system is the best system to meet the load requirement of a window-type air-conditioning system under the climatic conditions of Oman with values ranging from $39,500 to $56,500 for the capital cost and $9,000 to $33,000 for the total net capital cost depending on the wind speed. These values are attractive for remote off grid applications.
