Abstract: Energy demand is growing rapidly day by day and to meet this ever increasing energy demand, the dependence on the conventional energy sources is increasing which is resulting in the pollution, green house effect and global warming. About 80% of world’s energy demand is dependent on conventional sources of energy [1]. DC power supply is required for protection, control and monitoring (PCM) system in the electric substations. In this paper, a PV based DC system has been proposed for catering the DC Power demand of the protection control and monitoring system in electric sub-stations. Hybrid configuration having solar and grid power is assumed. In the present work, the study of a 220/33 kV electric sub-station located at “Masjid Moth Delhi, India” has been carried out. DC Load and solar resource assessment has been done for the site under consideration and the socio-economic parameters, a techno-economic study is carried out. The results show that the PV based DC system for protection, control and monitoring (PCM) system in the electric substations has huge potential and offers advantages of renewable energy integration, GHG mitigation.
