This paper investigates how to increase the efficiency of a photovoltaic/energy storage generation unit supplying dynamic loads by regulating and managing both the photovoltaic generator and the storage battery charge-discharge modes. The proposed photovoltaic/energy storage unit is proposed to supply an induction motor driven industrial pump with controlled speed and/or a DC motor driven water...

Hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) collector, combining photovoltaic cells with a solar thermal collector, can simultaneously convert solar energy into electricity and heat energy. In this paper, a novel photovoltaic/thermal integrated heat pump (PV/T-HP) system was developed, in which the PV/T collector also acted as evaporator of heat pump. Two types of PV/T collectors with conventional coppe...

The photovoltaic powered water pumping system investigated in this paper consists mainly of a photovoltaic generator, a boost converter, a three phase inverter, and an induction motor-pump. Then, we present a method which resolved directly on the bond graph the problem of input/output linearization of the nonlinear system while basing itself on input/output causal inversion of its BG model. Ana...
