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 ...

Abstract With the increasing installation of new energy power generation, photovoltaic generation has become a significant component system. However, random and fluctuating nature can pose challenge. The combination with storage using photovoltaic-storage unit integrated machine help mitigate fluctuations output improve quality grid connection. In this paper, we propose grid-connected control s...

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...

This paper presents 500 KW three phase standalone photovoltaic systems supplying pumping station consist of four pumps 80 KW rating. The system utilizes a two stage energy conversion power conditioning unit topology composed of a DC-DC boost converter and three level-three phase voltage source inverter (VSI). The Boost converter in this paper is designed to operate in continuous mode and contro...

Two n-type molecular materials are covalently combined into a new photovoltaic component for polymer solar cells. Light harvesting by the perylenediimide results in very fast energy transfer to the fullerene unit, as shown with femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy in toluene solution. Two energy transfer rates are observed of 2.5 x 10(12) s-1 (53%) and 2 x 10(11) s-1 (47%), attributed ...

Abstract: This paper presents a clock phase-shifting (CPS) energy balance control (EBC) method for cascaded half-bridge multilevel inverters in standalone solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It is based on the conservation of energy in each cascaded unit. By shifting the phase of the clock pulse of each cascaded unit, a staircase-like output voltage is obtained. The CPS EBC not only regulates the ...

This paper investigates the sizing and costing methodology for a stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) power system based on the number of sunshine hours available in the world. The sizing and costing of the PV system for the electrical load of 3.65 kWh/day was presented in this paper for different continents of the world. The unit cost of electricity generated from the PV system was determined based...

Here we report the synthesis and characterization of five new organic dyes based on 2-(1,1dicyanomethylene)rhodanine, which simultaneously serves as an efficient electron-acceptor moiety and anchoring unit to the TiO2. Triphenylamine was used as the electron donor and a vinylthiophene unit was introduced to increase the pi-conjugation of the system and to widen the absorption region. The dye co...
