In this article, the effect of plasmonic properties of metal nanoparticles with different shapes, and moreover, their plasmonic-photonic interaction, on solar cell performance were investigated and simulated. Because of low conversion efficiency and then high cost of solar cells, it is difficult to commercialize and replace them with conventional energy resources. But in recent years, the plasm...

As per the present scenario lot of power shortages are there all over the world especially country like India the grid transferring problem is also high. Almost the power from the fossil fuels is becoming so less. There is increasing demand for the use of power from renewable based energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, tidal etc which does not cause any damage to the environment. Unlike ...

This paper presents modeling and simulation for the PV cells, modules, and array, and building of blocks based on MATLAB / Simulink software package. The main aim of this work is the improvement of the PV solar cell simulator based on a two-diode model. This model is more accurate than the single diode model especially at low insolation levels; therefore this will gives more accurate prediction...

In this paper, dynamic analysis of a multi-battery dual mode charger, powered by a single solar array and suitable for lead-acid and lithium-ion cell-based batteries is presented. Each battery is interfaced to the solar array by means of a current-controlled buck power stage, operating either in constant power or constant voltage mode. Operation in former/latter charging mode implies regulating...

Photovoltaic power supplied to the utility grid is gaining more and more visibility while the world’s powers demand is increases. Growing demand, advancements in semiconductor technology and magnetic materials such as high frequency inductor cores, has a significant impact on PV inverter topologies and their efficiencies, on the improvement of the control circuits on the potential of costs redu...
