Photovoltaic power plants usually do not provide reactive output; hence the application of large photovoltaics in systems will decrease voltage stability level system. Capacitor banks can to compensate photovoltaic plants; therefore, capacitor overcome deficiency plants. However, effect bank installation on system’s is unknown. Therefore, research aims investigate whether installing a capacitor...

Photovoltaic power generation is one of the ways using solar energy resources effectively. In recent years, it has received the world's attention and has been under rapid development. At present, one of the main problems faced by the photovoltaic power generation is the low conversion efficiency. One way to solve this problem is carrying out the maximum power point tracking in the photovoltaic ...

With the increasing installed capacity of desalination, the greenhouse gas emission for generating the required energy to power the desalination plants is also becoming the focus of attention in the world community. Domestic reverse osmosis membranes have been very successful technology especially in the developing world to provide safe drinking water. The novel concept of photovoltaic powered ...

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system controls the voltage and the current output of the PV system to deliver maximum power to the load. Present work deals a comparative analysis of incremental conductance, and neural network based MPPT techniques. Parameters values were extracted using Newton Raphson method from characteristics of Shell SP75 module. The simulations have been carried o...

Now a day‟s electricity is most needed facility for the human being. All the conventional energy resources are depleting day by day. So we have to shift from conventional to non-conventional energy resources. In this the combination of two energy resources is takes place i.e. wind and solar energy. This process reviles the sustainable energy resources without damaging the nature. Renewable ener...

The utilization of renewable sources brings many benefits to electric power systems, but also some challenges like the impact that renewable power plants employing power electronics have on the grid, which is gaining importance as the penetration of this type of generating stations increases, driven by the construction of large wind or solar photovoltaic power plants. This paper analyses the im...

This paper deals with a study of a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method, which is applied to a single-phase grid-tied photovoltaic system. Since photovoltaic panels have nonlinear voltage-current characteristic curves, when they are submitted to partial shading conditions, it is possible appear distinct local and global maximum powe...

In this paper, the authors have done a processing of experimental data for the generated output power of two photovoltaic parks by means of different methods. An approximation of the data is done for the output power during a good day (with maximum solar radiation) by a Sum of Sinusoidal Functions, and during a bad day (small solar radiation) by a sum of Gaussian functions. The paper presents a...
