Remote monitoring of solar PV system for rural areas using GSM, V-F & F-V converters

In a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system, a bidirectional DC converter (BDC) is needed to prevent the battery from damage caused by DC bus voltage variation. In this paper, BDC was applied in a standalone solar PV system to interface the battery with a DC bus in a standalone PV system. Therefore, its bidirectional power capability was focused on improving save battery operation while maintaining high power quality delivery. A non-isolated, buck and boost topology for the BDC configuration was used to interface the battery with the DC bus. PID controller-based control strategy was chosen for easy implementation, high reliability, and high dynamic performance. A simulation was conducted using MATLAB Simulink program. The simulation results show that the implementation of the BDC controller can maintain the DC bus voltage to 100 V, have high efficiency at 99.18% in boost mode and 99.48% in buck mode. To prevent the battery from overcharging condition, the BDC stops the charging process and then works as a voltage regulator to maintain the DC bus voltage at reference value.

Solar Pv System

The need to electrify all rural areas in India is quite compelling. However, the focus has now shifted from traditional fuel-based systems to generate electricity to renewable sources for energy generation. Though there are subsidies and policies that encourage the use of solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems, there is a need for an appropriate framework. This framework could not only offer substantial directions but it would also act as grounds to enhance rural electrification in India using solar PVs. From this perspective, the current research attempts to structure an innovative framework for solar PV system that could facilitate rural electrification in India. In particular, the district of Damoh in Madhya Pradesh was chosen as there are many villages without electricity in this district. PVsyst software was utilized to simulate the outcomes that included mathematical models and diverse components based on PV, for simulation. Three designs were developed to facilitate the simulation. These included; PVs linked with microgrid devoid of battery, individual PV systems without microgrid link and solar PVs linked to microgrid with battey. The framework for rural electrification using solar PVs will offer policy makers with insights with regards to implementing PV systems. It will also offer inputs as to the feasibility of implementing a specific system on several parameters. These would comprise of; number of households within a village, detached households etc. Nonetheless, research in future is also warranted to explore the scope for other sources of renewable energy.

A Performance

Sunlight is energy that can be converted into electrical energy. One of the uses is by applying it to the roof ofthe building. The application in this building has restrictions such as the placement of the PV moduleshorizontally and vertically. In the study comparing the results of energy obtained from the PV system withhorizontal and vertical positions with a standard degree angle in the direction of azimuth sunlight. Positionusing the horizontal produces more energy and reaches a performance ratio of more than 80%.
