Now a days, renewable energy resources such as solar Photo Voltaic (PV) cells, fuel cells (FC) and wind turbines(WT) plays an important role in generating electricity nearer to local loads that are integrated to utility grid. For integration of distributed energy resource converters to utility grid, a synchronization i.e matching of frequency, phase, amplitude of output voltages, active power a...

This paper proposes modeling and simulation of photovoltaic model. Taking in to account the temperature and sun’s irradiance, the PV array is modeled and its voltage current characteristics and the power and voltage characteristics are simulated. This enables the dynamics of PV system to be easily simulated and optimized. It is noticed that the output characteristics of a PV array are influence...

Frequency and sequence couplings can compromise the trustworthiness of multi-frequency models for converter-based systems. There have been effective attempts to address mainly by linearized averaged models. Only a few studies conducted on practical optimization such with enormous matrices experimental results. This paper provides generic theory coupling patterns proposes modelling method detect...

This paper presents a novel concept of utilizing the photo voltaic solar farm inverter as STATCOM(Static Compensator), named PV-STATCOM, in order to improve the voltage profile of the power system. The entire STATCOM is able to transmit either active or reactive power into the grid. This system is connected to a 14 BUS IEEE standard grid as a case study to simulate the performance of the system...

Since the {irst demonstration of organic photo voltaic devices much progress has been made. Organic solar cells reach now power conversion efficiencies of up to 3% over the solar spectrum. The morphology of the active film is very important for efficient devices. Films spin-coated from blend solutions phase separate. The scale of the phase separation depends on the solvent, solubility of the ma...
