چکیده

Distributed solar energy is rapidly growing, and with that growth there is increasing need for tools to validate data collected on PV system configuration. Clean configuration data is the foundation for most fleet performance analytics, but large-scale deployments’ data on location, orientation, and tilt are generally subject to human error. We cover a number of techniques to automatically validate location, orientation and tilt data. A PV system’s location can be determined via three distinct methodologies. Each method leverages the system’s production data with one approach using astronomical formulas, a second approach leveraging a network of systems with known locations, and a third approach that utilizes solar irradiance and system simulation models. A PV system’s orientation and tilt can be determined via two distinct methodologies. Each method leverages the system’s production data with one approach using the skew of production and another approach that utilizes solar irradiance and system simulation models.

A New Power Management Approach for PV-Wind-Fuel Cell Hybrid System in Hybrid AC-DC Microgrid Configuration

The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...

An Investigation of Temperature Effects on Solar Photovoltaic Cells and Modules

The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are facing serious problems due to unavoidable losses in their system, leads to more devation of output power from the input power level. This effect is known as a mismatch effect and is available in PV systems. Many losses are encountered in PV system and it is difficult to minimize such losses. In this paper, the influence of thermal effect on the solar PV ...
