Energy storage must play a part in a future world powered by intermittent low-carbon sources such as wind and solar power. It is often taken for granted that grid-scale battery storage is too expensive unless offering multiple ancillary services to the electrical grid, rather than just absorbing and later exporting renewable energy that would otherwise be curtailed. This belief is confirmed and...

This concept utilizes the photovoltaic (PV) solar farm (SF) as Flexible ac transmission system controller-static synchronous compensator, to regulate the point of common coupling voltage during night time when the...

The term productintegrated photovoltaic (PIPV) [1, 2] is used for all types of products that contain solar cells in one or more of their surfaces, aiming at providing power during the use of a product. The application of photovoltaics (PV) as a power source for consumer products is already common for more than 30 years, since the first solar calculators. Thereafter, integrated solar cells in co...

In this paper, an efficient testing system for measuring a PV module’s I-V curve is proposed. The proposed system is based on a controlled DC-DC boost converter. The advantage of using a DC-DC converter is that this converter is typically used in PV systems to track the maximum power point and to control the charging of the battery. Consequently, this device is utilized for I-V curve extraction...
