A solar photovoltaic system produces electricity by converting energy from the sun. By the end of 2016, the global installed solar photovoltaic capacity reached 305 GW. Its growth is impressive in the last years; in fact, it was only equal to 41 GW in 2010. However, Europe has installed only 6.9 GW in 2016 (−1.7 GW in comparison to previous year) and this annual power installed is equal to 9% o...

In this paper we introduce a novel approach to exploring the benefits associated with Vehicle-to-Grid technology on an individual household level. We design an artifact that enables the implementation of different management strategies to utilize synergies between residential photovoltaic electricity generation and the energy storage provided by electric vehicles. The main advantage of this app...

Autonomous photovoltaic panels are intermittent sustainable energy sources which require energy storage to balance generation and demand, as photovoltaic generation is time and weather dependent. Traditionally batteries are the most common storage technology for photovoltaic systems. Photovoltaic batteries can encounter extended periods of low State of Charge (SOC), resulting in sulphation and ...

Energy demand has increased due to the development of industrialization and urbanization. As a result, renewable energy sources satisfy human, social economic since fossil fuels are limited in natural resources causing global warming environment. In current scenarios, scientists worldwide focus on like solar, biomass, wind, hydropower, geothermal, etc. Consequently, developing countries run-dow...

An inventing electrical power generation system is developed by integrating simultaneously solar energy, rains energy, wind energy, charged cloud energy, lightning energy, thunder energy which are assigned as nonconventional or renewable energy sources. All the natural wastage energies are used for production of electricity. Electrical power is accomplished with a minimum cost and pollution fre...

Fuel cell electric vehicles convert chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to power their motor. Since cars are used for transport only during a small part of the time, energy stored in the on-board hydrogen tanks of fuel cell vehicles can be used to provide power when cars are parked. In this paper, we present a community microgrid with photovoltaic systems, wind turbines, and fuel cell ...

K-water installed the first domestic 100kW floating photovoltaic system on the water surface of multipurpose dam reservoir in October 2011. Also, it installed a 500kW floating photovoltaic generation facility nearby in October 2012 for commercial power generation. Based on these, it installed a 10kW marine photovoltaic generation facility at Sihwa Lake in October 2013. In this paper, static loa...
