Optimal Operation of Residential Energy Hubs Considering Optimized Capacity of Photovoltaic-based Renewable Energy Systems

The deployment of multi-carrier energy systems, which are called energy hubs, is one of the most recent and useful strategies in the field of energy systems. The reliability of energy systems and their operation cost and efficiency could be improved by applying the concepts of energy hubs. The simultaneous management of electrical consumptions and heat demands by the concepts of energy hub woul...

Maximum Power Point Tracker for Photovoltaic Systems Based on Moth-Flame Optimization Considering Partial Shading Conditions

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems is highly dependent on environmental conditions. Due to probable changes in environmental conditions, the real-time control of PV systems is essential for exploiting their maximum possible power. This paper proposes a new method to track the maximum power point of PV systems using the moth-flame optimization algorithm. In this method, the PV DC-DC co...

Efficiency Maximization of Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation has an important role to play due to the fact that it is a green source. The only emissions associated with PV power generation are those from the production of its components. Increasing the efficiency in PV plants so the power generated increases is a key aspect, as it will increase the incomes, reducing consequently the cost of the power generated so it wil...

Lyapunov-based switched extremum seeking for photovoltaic power maximization

This paper presents a practical variation of extremum seeking (ES) that guarantees asymptotic convergence through a Lyapunov-based switching scheme (Lyap-ES). Traditional ES methods enter a limit cycle around the optimum. Lyap-ES converges to the optimum by exponentially decaying the perturbation signal once the system enters a neighborhood around the extremum. As a case study, we consider maxi...
