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...

This paper at first presents a control algorithm for a single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system in which an inverter designed for grid-connected photovoltaic arrays can synchronize a sinusoidal current output with a voltage grid. This paper presents modeling, controller design, and simulation study of a grid connected PV system. The overall configuration of the grid connected PV system i...

The reduction of high harmonic content in the grid side current is achieved by different harmonic compensating techniques. In order to accomplish it, selective harmonic compensation is carried out in grid-connected photovoltaic inverters by means of resonant harmonic compensators. The harmonic compensator shown in this paper is lead lag compensator. This paper shows a systematic design procedur...

We developed an accurate, efficient and flexible modeling method for the steady-state and transient analysis of grid-connected superconducting synchronous machines. On the one hand, the machine flux linkages and electromagnetic torque as function of operational parameters are obtained from static finite element analysis and stored in lookup tables. On the other hand, the machine is represented ...

A grid drawing of a plane graph G is a drawing of G on the plane so that all vertices of G are put on plane grid points and all edges are drawn as straight line segments between their endpoints without any edge-intersection. In this paper we give a very simple algorithm to find a grid drawing of any given 4-connected plane graph G with four or more vertices on the outer face. The algorithm take...

The overall efficiency of grid-connected photovoltaic power generation systems depends on the efficiency of the DC-into-AC conversion. Therefore, a key consideration in the design and operation of inverters is how to achieve high efficiency with power output. This paper presents a concept of an inverter for grid connected photovoltaic arrays which can synchronise a sinusoidal current output wit...

The growth in energy consumption and awareness on global warming has increased the focus on Distributed Generation (DG) using non-conventional energy sources. The stand-alone DGs are used to mitigate the challenge of rural electrification and the grid connected DGs are used to reduce demand on power system network. The DG in grid connected mode operates in parallel with main grid and supplies a...
