Due to decaying fossil resource and increasing environmental consciousness, the demand of renewable energy resources is escalating these days. Photovoltaic solar energy is one of the most popular renewable energy resources in places where sunlight is abundant. The selection of a desirable location for constructing a photovoltaic solar plant is the first and one of the most important stages in t...

This paper presents a short-term forecasting model designed to forecast the hourly power production in a grid-connected photovoltaic plant. The model is based on neuro-fuzzy systems optimized with the use of a genetic algorithm. The model uses as inputs forecasted weather variables obtained with a meso-scale numerical weather prediction model. The model was applied to forecast the hourly produc...

increasing of word demand load caused a new distributed generation (dg) to enter to powersystem. one of the most renewable energy is the photovoltaic system. it is beneficial to use thissystem in both separately as well as connected to power system using power electronics interface.in this paper an optimal pid controller for photovoltaic system systems has been developed. theoptimization techni...

The Kerman Photovoltaic Power Plant is unique, not in the particular photovoltaic equipment selected, but in the siting of the plant in relation to the electric power system and how the plant interacts with that system. Kerman is the world’s first plant designed and built specifically to measure the benefits of a photovoltaic system to the local distribution grid. In addition to the traditional...

India is the seventh largest country in the world, blessed with adequate solar radiation, therefore to setting up a Photovoltaic power plant is a lucrative option. In actual field conditions the performance of the PV modules vary significantly from its Standard Test Condition (STC) due to large change in environmental conditions. It is very important to study the exact meteorological parameters...

Light-driven degradation of photoactive molecules could be one of the major obstacles to stable long term operation of organic dye-based solar light harvesting devices. One solution to this problem may be mimicking the regeneration functionality of a plant leaf. We report an organic dye photovoltaic system that has been endowed with such microfluidic regeneration functionality. A hydrogel mediu...

This paper documents the effect that the PI controller gains in the generic WECC photovoltaic power plant have on the system modes.

In this paper, the electrical consumption of Hamedan University is derived of the bills, Then with defining of fuzzy Bus Thermal Coefficient objective function for heating, the amount of available heat selling to university consumer that is produced by Biomass CHP plant is calculated. With the capacity determination of Biomass CHP plant to provide Thermal and electrical energy of university and...
