Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...

Photovoltaic cells, as the primary part of a solar photovoltaic system, are a nonlinear DC power supply related to multiple parameters. The demand of increasing the generating efficiency of photovoltaic cells requires having a good understanding of their electrical characteristics. In this study, the mathematical and physical model of the photovoltaic cells was built by the means of Matlab and ...

Arising applications of ferroelectric materials in photovoltaic devices" The ferroelectric-photovoltaic (FE-PV) device, in which a homogeneous ferroelectric material is used as a light absorbing layer, has been investigated during the past several decades with numerous ferroelectric oxides. The FE-PV effect is distinctly different from the typical photovoltaic (PV) effect in semiconductor p–n j...

it is expected that residential units may replace   traditional heat and power production systems with cogeneration ones. among the different cogeneration systems, fuel cell based systems are a suitable choice due to their high efficiency, high power density, low emission and low noise. in this paper, a cogeneration system based on solid oxide fuel cells is examined. the system, including the f...

In the context of the global potential energy crisis and aggravating regional environmental pollution, Chinese photovoltaic power generation still faces the key problems of sustainable development, even given its favorable background in large-scale exploitation. Scientific evaluation of the comprehensive efficiency of photovoltaic power generation is of great significance because it will improv...

Solar energy availability and high installation costs of photovoltaic system encourage to extract maximum power from solar radiation. Since conventional methods cannot differentiate change in power due to perturb voltage and changing weather condition, these algorithms are prone to change under varying climatic conditions. The proposed system presents the high efficiency maximum power point tra...

in recent year's renewable energy sources have become a useful alternative for the power generation. the power of photovoltaic is nonlinear function of its voltage and current. it is necessary to maintain the operation point of photovoltaic in order to get the maximum power point (mpp) in various solar intensity. fuzzy logic controller has advantage in handling non-linear system. maximum power ...

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 ...

In this paper utilization of a boost converter for control of photovoltaic power using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control mechanism is presented. First the photovoltaic module is analyzed using SIMULINK software. For the main aim of this work the buck converter is to be used along with a Maximum Power Point Tracking control mechanism. The MPPT is responsible for extracting the maximum ...

This paper presents a control structure for transformerless photovoltaic inverters connected in parallel to manage photovoltaic fields in the MW range. Large photovoltaic farms are usually divided into several photovoltaic fields, each one of them managed by a centralized high power inverter. The current tendency to build up centralized inverters in the MW range is the use of several transforme...
