Abstract

The emergence of Apartment complexes in urban areas has certainly helped in better utilization of space but at the same time, it has put additional load on Electric utilities that supply power towards Green power/ building realization, BIPV has emerged in recent times to benefit from solar power. In this article we are proposing  segmented BIPV so that  power can be drawn  independently for each Apartment .The rooftop area  can be utilized  for solar panels  to power the lighting  of the common area only .Thus it is possible to have Apartments with  hybrid combination of both AC bus/ DC bus which will help to boost  the utilization of DC appliances and also reduce  the load for electric utilities. It will hopefully lead to new (novel) Green building / Apartments. Essentially, it has potential to have a local DC bus in each apartment for lighting circuit and small DC appliances. Hence also becomes easy as it gets localized. AC bus continues as before for heavy duty appliances but DC bus becomes available.
