As the world strives towards finding alternative sources of power generation, photovoltaic generation has become an increasingly prevalent alternative energy source on power systems worldwide. This paper studies the effects that incorporating photovoltaic generation has on the existing power systems and their power system protection schemes. Along with the addition of this emerging alternative ...

This paper presents the optimal design and simulation of a grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) system to supply electric power to meet the energy demand by Electrical Department in University of Tripoli Libya. Solar radiation is the key factor determining electricity produced by photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper is designed to develop a novel method to calculate the solar photovoltaic generati...

Batteries and fuel cells contain a great potential to back up severe photovoltaic power fluctuations under inclement weather conditions. In this paper comparison between batteries and fuel cells is carried out in detail only for their PV power backup options, so their common attributes and different attributes is discussed. Then, the common and different attributes are compared; accordingly, th...

A new single-phase transformerless grid-connected PV inverter is presented in this paper. Investigations in transformerless grid-connected PV inverters indicate the existence of the leakage current is directly related to the variable common-mode voltage (CMV), which is presented in detail. On the other hand, in recent years it has become mandatory for the transformerless grid-connected PV inver...

The Photovoltaic (PV) plants are significantly different from the conventional synchronous generators in terms of physical and electrical characteristics, as it connects to the power grid through the voltage-source converters. High penetration PV in power system will bring several critical challenges to the safe operation of power grid including transient stability. To address this problem, the...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electrification is an important renewable energy source. The electric which is converted directly from solar irradiation via PV panel is not steady due to different solar intensity. To maximize the PV panel output power, perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been implemented into PV system. Through a buck-boost DC-DC converter, MPPT is able to...

Public Participation has been introduced to the decision-making process of environmental actions and drawn attention in field. This approach can affect certain issues or policy directions that public is concerned about by means opinions participation decision-making. paper takes Taiwan region as research object illustrate new Solar Fishery Electricity Symbiosis AuditingEnvironmental Social Insp...

The increasing integration of photovoltaic (PV) plants in conventional power systems has led to the need examine effects these on system dynamics. In this study, a well-known IEEE-9 bus is modified by integrating PV plant DigSilent Powerfactory environment. Then, 3 transient cases are tested using control units designed Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC). effect load and line disco...

Photovoltaic systems are attractive renewable energy sources for Thailand because of high daily solar irradiation, about 18 MJ/m2/day. Furthermore, renewable energy is boosted by the government incentive on adders on electricity from renewable energy like solar PV, wind and biomass, introduced in the second half of 2000s. For PV systems, domestic rooftop PV units, commercial rooftop PV units an...
