This paper proposes a sizing procedure based on the observed extremes of solar radiation. This is different from the conventional way of PV system sizing, which is based on the average characteristics of the synthesized solar radiation. Since sizing for a photovoltaic (PV) system is an important area in the application of solar energy, the theoretical aspects of sizing formulas and loss of power probability...
Performance monitoring of solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems is very essential for initial system evaluation, and continuous output optimization. Currently, PV system monitoring is complicated and expensive and limited to large scale grid connected solar PV plants. This paper surveys PV system monitoring methods and proposes a simple and economic method that can be used by stand alone PV power...
As the development of energy market and the interest for new energy recourses such as wind energy and solar energy, energy management system of distributed generation (DG) becomes significant for the stability and economic operation of the DG system. This paper introduced a basic structure of DG system and illustrated the principle of power forecasting using neutral network. Finally a novel energy...
The paper presents realization and control of a two-phase bi-directional interleaved converter for a photovoltaic (PV) system. Harmonic contents due to switching action in a dc-dc converter are reduced by the interleaving technique. A nonlinear function is used for predicting the maximum power point (MPP). A novel multi-loop control scheme is developed to achieve maximum PV power generation under...
A chronic drinking water shortage is one of the most important issues in the developing countries, and drinking water from dirty water sources causes serious damage to inhabitants health in some remote areas. The solar distillation remains the most favorable process for the supplying of water to small communities. Base on the traditional solar still, an improved hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) desalination...
