Abstract: Available photovoltaic (PV) systems show a prolonged transient response, when integrated into the power grid via active filters. On one hand, the conventional low-pass filter, employed within the integrated PV system, works with a large delay, particularly in the presence of system’s low-order harmonics. On the other hand, the switching of the DC (direct current)–DC converters within ...

The objective of this study was to achieve higher efficiency of a PV system while reducing of the cost of energy generation. Concentration photovoltaics was employed in the present case as it uses low cost reflectors to enhance the efficiency of the PV system and simultaneously reduces the cost of electricity generation. For this purpose a V-trough integrated with the PV system was employed for...

With an increasing number of photovoltaic (PV) power stations integrated into the power grid, a model which is suitable to be used in the power system electromagnetic transient simulation is required. So in this paper, a detailed PV power system model is provided. In the model, the core components, such as PV array and inverter are all considered. Then in a certain case, which contains a PV pow...

This paper presents a control scheme which controls in which PV (Photovoltaic) and Fuel cell system are connected through a DC bus. In order to achieve maximum utilization of distribution generation, power supplied to load for day and night through renewable resources. PV power availability is depends upon the solar irradiation so that it becomes important to extract maximum possible power from...

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...
