Requirement for electrical energy is increasing in a ramp function manner. To meet the steady increasing in energy demand it is required to find some alternate source of energy. Except the conventional source of energy one type of renewable energy i.e PV may be regarded as a clean source of energy to meet the energy demand. PV modules generating DC power cannot be directly connected to the electrical infrastructure as most of the grid infrastructure uses either 230volt or 120 volt. Therefore power electronic device most be connected (inverter) between PV and grid. In order to make a competitive market between the renewable generated power and conventional way of generating the power it is required to design a cost effective inverter, qualitative output which is pure sinusoidal and harmonics free. In this paper a comparative analysis among the various linear controllers are presented. Proposed Optimised PID Controller is Presented through MATLAB Simulink based environment.

This work performs a quantitative assessment of the impact of rooftop PV installation on building’s net energy demand using model of roof structure and steady state thermal simulations. For this purpose, roof structure typically used in Faisalabad, Pakistan is modeled with and without the shading effect due to a 395 W commercial rooftop PV setup. The simulated parameters include the impact of PV module’s dimensions, mounting position/angle alongside roof size and ambient conditions on heat load of air-conditioning system to maintain a temperature of 25 °C within building’s top floor. During the daylight hours of July, the heat load added by the roof on average reduces from 150.87 BTU/h/m2 without PV to 118.16 BTU/h/m2 with PV structure. This 20.05% reduction in energy demand has been achieved with July’s maximum daytime solar and infrared irradiances of 792.2 W/m2 and 466 W/m2 recorded at an average ambient temperature of 35.5 °C and wind speed of 2.75 m/s. This study provides valuable data on optimization of roof layer structure during building’s construction in anticipation of PV system installation at a later stage. Also developed techniques/methods to reduce building’s energy budget due to PV installation, can be valuable input for construction industry as well.

This chapter examines the modeling and simulation of energy storage (battery, flywheel, etc.) systems interfaced to the power grid by using power electronic device, like chopper module, Rectifier module, and filter circuits, which are essential to the load balance between supply and demand, and to eliminate harmonics and to ensure efficient, cost effective, and reliable operations. Energy storage system in power grid is the same as memory in computer system. Energy efficiency is a key performance indicator for energy storage system. The energy storage system is the most promising component to enhance the system reliability and flexibility.

This paper predicts relationship between array performance and surrounding ambient including installation conditions for PV array installed on building walls. A PV system assumed for calculation is a PV array installed on the north, south, east and west walls of a building which was constructed as a NEDO field-test project. In the case of performance simulation for the actual PV system, calculated performance generally agrees with real measured data. Based on them, produced electrical energy is simulated as a function of ground albedo, array tilt angle and space between the PV array and the wall for installation. In addition, shading effect on produced electrical energy is also estimated by assuming some neighboring buildings. Effect of sub-array installation on different walls on DC power output is also estimated.

This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV) system to convert the solar energy into electrical energy. DC power from PV system is converted into AC power using multilevel inverters. Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter and diode clamped inverter (DCI) are used to convert variable DC power into sinusoidal AC power. Harmonic content is the important part to improve the efficiency of the inverter. Harmonics of CHB inverter and DCI are simulated and analyzed with different pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques.

The foremost issues of the twenty-first century are the ever-increasing challenging demand of electrical energy and controlling the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Along with these issues and with limited energy resources, it is imperative to look for non-conventional methods of power generation like from renewable energy resources. Microgrid has emerged as a new field that can meet the energy demand with a special emphasis on good power quality, reliability, and security. A major concern with the use of renewable energy resources is their intermittent nature which makes their integration and operation a challengeable task. Energy storage devices like batteries can be used to overcome the problem of intermittent nature of renewable energy resources. This chapter focusses on different aspects of renewable energy resources in detail. It analyzes the effectiveness of the proposed topology of the microgrid for health clinic load profile with the help of PVSYST software.

The design of rolling stock plays a key role in the attractiveness of the rail transport. Train design must strictly meet the requirements of rail operators to ensure high quality and cost-effective services. Semiconductor power devices made from silicon carbide (SiC) have reached a level of technology enabling their widespread use in traction power converters. SiC transistors offering energy savings, quieter operation, improved reliability and reduced maintenance costs have become the choice for the next-generation railway power converters and are quickly replacing the IGBT technology which has been used for decades. The paper describes the design and development of a novel SiC-based DC power electronic traction transformer (PETT) intended for electric multiple units (EMUs) operated in 3 kV DC rail traction. The details related to the 0.5 MVA peak power medium voltage prototype, including the electrical design of the main building blocks are presented in the first part of the paper. The second part deals with the implementation of the developed SiC-based DC PETT into a regional train operating on a 3 kV DC traction system. The experimental results obtained during the testing are presented to demonstrate the performance of the developed 3 kV DC PETT prototype.

The power crisis in India is increasing at an alarming rate. Solar power is a domestic source of energy and its availability throughout the year makes it a primary target to solve this crisis. It will never produce any hazardous waste and it won’t pollute the air. But various issues like Power quality problems and Harmonic distortion seep in due to the intermittent nature of PV system. Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) gives solution for PQ issues and helps in high power handling capabilities. In this work a new multilevel inverter topology is proposed. The controlled pulses are generated through sinusoidal PWM techniques. The proposed topology is implemented and the controlled circuit is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The same is realized in the hardware circuit having a cost effective dsPIC30F2010 digital controller. The proposed topology consists of only seven power electronic switches and that is the main advantage of this topology. The Simulation results and the Hardware results reveal that the suggested technique is highly advantageous.

Evolution of Building Integrated Photovoltaic's (BIPV) technology has resulted in the development of smart buildings as a clean source of electrical energy generation which can either be stand alone or grid connected systems. This paper briefs about the studies on the role of Internet of Things (IoT) in real-time controlling and monitoring of parameters like tilt angles, defected modules, shading effect in BIPV systems etc which decreases the dc power output. In addition, it also describes the use of IoT for maximum power extraction from BIPV modules present in rooftops and facades. Enabling IoT in BIPV installation makes the overall system cost-effective, energy efficient, reliable and can be operated remotely through android apps, smart phones, laptops, PCs, tablets etc via internet which is very easily accessible in recent times. IoT along with BIPV is showing a new direction towards smart generation from renewable energy resources like solar through PV integrated building or construction materials.
