This paper proposes a hybrid switching technique for a domestic PV system with AC-module architecture. In this PV system, independent control of PV modules, which are directly connected to DC terminals of a single-phase cascaded multilevel inverter, makes module-level MPPT possible to extract maximum available solar energy, especially in partial shading conditions. As one of the main contributi...

Hybrid power system can be used to reduce energy storage requirements. The influence of the Deficiency of Power Supply Probability (DPSP), Relative Excess Power Generated (REPG), Energy to Load Ratio (ELR), fraction of PV and wind energy, and coverage of PV and wind energy against the system size and performance were analyzed. The technical feasibility of PV-wind hybrid system in given range of...

-The paper presents the viability of domestic standalone Photovoltaic (PV) hybrid systems in Indian rural areas. The standalone supply system powered by single nonconventional sources such as solar, wind turbines or tidal face unpopularity due to the inconsistency and undependable variance in their source throughout the day/year. The above drawbacks can be addressed by combining minimum of two ...

A hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar system integrates photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into one single solar energy device, with dual generation of electricity and heat energy. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the potential for introduction of the PV/T technology into Northern China. For this purpose, outdoor experiments were conducted on a prototype of a PV/T water...

The continuous power supply for rural areas can be possible by using renewable hybrid power generation system and also reduction of the energy storage devices for the system. The impact of the shortage of power supply probability, surpluspower power generation, ratio of the energy supply to load demand, renewable fraction of different types of energy resources (solar and wind) and the combined ...

A methodology is developed for calculating the correct size of a photovoltaic (PV)-hybrid system and for optimizing its management. The power for the hybrid system comes from PV panels and an engine-generator – that is, a gasoline or diesel engine driving an electrical generator. The combined system is a stand-alone or autonomous system, in the sense that no third energy source is brought in to...

Recent work has proposed that hybridization of residential-scale cogeneration with roof-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays can increase the PV penetration level in ideal situations by a factor of five. In regions where there is a significant cooling load PV-cogen hybrid systems could be coupled to an absorption chiller to utilize waste heat from the cogen unit. In order to investigate reali...

This paper presents a standalone hybrid power system using wind/PV/diesel/Battery energy system with Matlab/Simulink environment. PV & Wind are the primary power sources of the system and battery is used as a backup for long run application. Here we have also compare the performance of PV/Wind/Battery connected system with PV/Wind/Diesel connected hybrid power system. The most frequently used r...

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...

Untapped pine needles with high potential for energy generation in the hilly area are not only a waste of resource but also increase the chance of environmental hazards as forest fires and GHG emission. This study is conducted to propose a new hybrid system (PV/Wind/Biomass) using abundant pine needle resource as a replacement of existing roof-mounted PV/wind hybrid system and analyse the feasi...
