Building-integrated Photovoltaic System in the UK
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A refurbishment project at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, provided the opportunity to install one of the largest building-integrated photovoltaic systems in Northern Europe. Photovoltaic panels have been incorporated into w Integrated into conventional rain-screen overcladding w Installed using normal building industry practices w High system reliability Highlights the new overcladding of the University's Northumberland Building and the electricity produced contributes to meeting the building's needs for lighting, heating, computers and other appliances. Any surplus electricity can be fed into the University's internal distribution system to supply other buildings on the campus. Photovoltaic panels integrated into the cladding of the Northumberland Building.

متن کاملNew Strategy of Grid Connected Photovoltaic System Using Module Integrated Converters with B4 Inverter to Overcome Partial Shading Effect
This paper proposes a new configuration for solar energy conversion systems. One challenging issue of the photovoltaic (PV) systems is partial shading, and in this paper Module Integrated Converters (MIC) are used to overcome this problem in PV arrays. A few boost converters are employed as MICs to mitigate the shading effect. Furthermore, to reduce the cost and to increase the system performan...
