The continuous power supply for rural areas can be possible by using renewable hybrid power generation system and also reduction of the energy storage devices for the system. The impact of the shortage of power supply probability, surpluspower power generation, ratio of the energy supply to load demand, renewable fraction of different types of energy resources (solar and wind) and the combined ...

The environmental and energy parameters of Photovoltaic (PV) systems play a very important role when compared to conventional power systems. In the present paper, a typical PV-system is analyzed to its elements and an assessment of the material and energy requirements during the production procedures is attempted. A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is being performed on the production system of photov...

Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...

In this paper, a simulation study of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a photovoltaic system using an artificial neural network is presented. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays an important role in photovoltaic systems because it maximizes the power output from a PV solar system for all temperature and irradiation conditions, and therefore maximizes the power efficiency. Since ...

IDEA IN BRIEF The photovoltaic (PV) industry has been enjoying great growth over the past few years, mostly driven by high oil prices and environmental concerns. However, PV cost remains to be the greatest barrier for further expansion, and it needs to come down further to compete with traditional coal based grid electricity. Besides solar panels, the electronic components, such as PV inverters...

The extensive expansion of large photovoltaic (PV) farms in power systems diminishes both system inertia and synchronizing coupling. Due to the occurrence of several faults, the power system transient stability may be damaged. However the transient stability is improved by the fast power controlling ability of the PV inverter. This paper focuses on the new application of large PV farms equipped...

A grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system operates under fluctuated weather condition has been modeled and characterized based on specific test bed. A mathematical model of a small-scale PV system has been developed mainly for residential usage, and the potential results have been simulated. The proposed PV model based on three PV parameters, which are the photocurrent, IL, the reverse diode sa...
