PROJECTS FOR 2011 Prof. Peter Wolfs Introduction In each year I attempt to manage a cohort of students to make progress in a few research themes. At any point in time up to 20 projects will be running covering students ranging from Bachelor Degrees to PhDs. The projects below vary enormously in scope and difficulty. Consider your capabilities and skills carefully. Not all projects will be avail...

Maximum power point tracking controller is essential to obtain the maximum power from a solar array in the photovoltaic systems as the PV power module varies with the temperature and solar irradiation. In this paper, several methods for the MPPT of the PV systems are discussed and it can to be used as a Helpful reference for the upcoming MPPT user in the PV applications.

In this study, we introduce a new familyof models for lifetime data called generalized extended Weibullpower series family of distributions by compoundinggeneralizedextended Weibull distributions and power series distributions. The compounding procedure follows the same setup carried out by Adamidis (1998). The proposed family contains all types of combinations between truncated discrete with g...

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim‌u‌m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst‌e‌ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this pape...

Abstract Solar power generation is related to climatic conditions, and its high cost low efficiency have become the main factors restricting development. Realizing maximum tracking of solar photovoltaic through electronic technology control an effective measure increase systems, reduce costs, improve energy conversion efficiency, widely promote technology. According illumination characteristics...
