In this paper, the novel application of organic/inorganic perovskite hybrid materials isproposed for grid-connected Photo-voltaic (PV) cells. The perovskite hybrid cells attracted a lot of interest due to their potential in combining advantages of both components. Looking to the future, there is no doubt that these new generations of hybrid materials, born from the very fruitful activitie...

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) has emerged as a major contender to serve as an alternative energy source and is currently playing a leading role in supporting the existing conventional power generation systems. Several solar PV systems require a high gain front end dc-dc converter. Conventional dc-dc converters can offer limited gain and their efficiency drops as the gain requirement increases. This p...

Exponential growth in cellular services has fueled the penetration of telecommunication industry in rural areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). However, the scarcity of electricity at such localities has limited the growth and operation of network operators. One solution to overcome the problem includes utilization of diesel generator along with grids for continuous supply. However, this solution ...

The electricity generations of photo voltaic (PV) panels are strongly related with insolation and temperature. The insolation and temperature are not stable, since the electricity generations of the PV panels are not stable. In PV systems, insolation and temperature continuous vary. Therefore, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are used to give the highest power to the loads/bat...

A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) approach for solar photo-voltaic system has been proposed in this paper. LQR based MPPT controller has been designed with online set-point adjustment approach using current, radiation and temperature sensors. Real time simulations have been carried out on MATLAB TM /dSPACE TM platform for solar photo-volta...

<span lang="EN-US">Nowadays, non-conventional energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal, and small hydro play a vital role in generating electricity. Among these, solar is utilized urban rural areas. When the sunlight falls on plate, PV cell produces charge carriers that produce an electric current. A photo voltaic used when it works at maximum power point. Traditional point tracking (M...
