AbstractNowadays, one of the basic requirements for thermally upgraded buildings involves limitation in CO2 emission even by over 90%. To fulfil these criteria, it is necessary to use alternative energy sources and photovoltaics constitutes a reasonable option for this. This paper addresses an analysis of the efficiency and profitability of a photovoltaic system located in the geometric center of Europe-Poland, where the intensity of solar irradiation is not very high compared to other European countries. The difference of total solar radiation density between Poland and Malta is 49.2%, from analysis based on SolarGIS base. The PV Lighthouse calculator was used for global power density and photon current examination for a Polish city and locations of the highest and the lowest solar radiation values, Malta and Finland, respectively. This case study concerns a thermally upgraded building; a gas boiler was replaced by a heat pump supported by an off-grid PV system. To achieve a reduction in CO2 emission of 90%, it is necessary to install 182 PV cells, which generates high investment costs. An investment is entirely profitable with 70% of funding with Simple Pay Back Time, SPBT~7 years although Net Present Value, NPV>0; Internal Rate of Return, IRR=10.6%.

Solar Photovoltaic System

A solar photovoltaic panel or a solar PV module is a device, which is to be considered universality the basic constituent of a solar photovoltaic system and is a combination of series and parallel assembly of solar cells. The electrical performance of this solar photovoltaic module be contingent on different environmental situations like PV cells/module solar spectral (air mass), ambient temperature, solar irradiance, angle-of-incidence.With these dependent conditions, there will be a petite chance to operate at its maximum power point (MPP) Hence, a Perturb and Observe (P&O) MPP algorithm is employed which draws considerable power with the desired time response. In present work, the interfacing of Solar PV system with the utility grid system which is having 15kW based on the Voltage Oriented Control (VOC). The temperature of the individual photovoltaic cell and solar irradiation are to be considered as inputs for the simulation process, whereas the duty cycle of the DC-DC boost converter is an output of the P&O controller. Performance of this grid-connected PV system with VOC method is analyzed with the simulation results and %THD values of the voltage and current at coupling point is verified. The results show the superiority of VOC method and its high dynamic behavior under variable irradiation conditions.

The integration of distributed generation (DG) to the utility grid is yet another approach to provide reliable and secured power. Design/methodology/approach The significant concern in this contemporary world are the day-to-day increasing power demand, lack of energy and increasing environmental pollution, which are threatening the existence of living things. Findings The research focus here is to adequacy and security in the grid-integrated hybrid distributed generation (DG) having photovoltaic (PV) and proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Originality/value PV system is a clean source of generation and suitable for many applications. Photovoltaic cell captures the energy from solar irradiation. To track the maximum power from PV, perturb and observe method is used. As it is intermittent in nature, integrating PV with fuel cell makes the hybrid source more reliable. Power electronic interfacing devices are used to integrate this hybrid DG source to microgrid. The simulation of this grid-connected hybrid DG is performed using Matlab/Simulink environment.

Maximum power point techniques (MPPT) are used in photovoltaic system to make full utilization of PV array output power. The output power of PV array is always changing with weather conditions i.e., solar irradiation and atmospheric temperature. PV cell generates power by converting sunlight into electricity. The electric power generated is proportional to solar radiation. PV cell can generate around 0.5 to 0.8 volts. During cloudy weather due to varying insolation levels the output of PV array varies. The MPPT is a process which tracks the maximum power from array and by increasing the duty cycle of the DC-DC boost converter, the output voltage of the system is increased. This paper presents the cuckoo mppt technique for PV system along with SMC controller methods in grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems for optimizing the solar energy efficiency

Battery Capacity

Off-grid Photovoltaic (PV) system along with battery storage is very effective solution for electrification in remote areas. However, battery capacity selection is the most challenging task in system designing. In this study, an off-grid PV system along with battery storage is designed for the remote area of Karachi, Pakistan. The system is designed by considering the maximum energy requirement in summer season. The battery storage is selected to fulfill the energy demand during the night and cloudy seasons. On the basis of load, a total of 6 kW system is required to fulfill the energy demand. For such system, 925 Ah of battery is required to meet the energy requirement for a day in absence of solar irradiation. A regression-based correlation between battery capacity and energy demand is prepared for suitable battery sizing using Minitab. An economic analysis of the project is also carried out from which a net present value and simple payback are determined as USD 10,348 and 3 years, respectively. The environmental benefits are also been determined. It is found that the system will reduce around 7.32 tons of CO2 per annum which corresponds to the 183.69 tons of CO2 not produced in the entire project life.

In recent days, multilevel inverter has widely been used for high power application. This may be due to the reduction of total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage level and having low blocking voltages of switches. In the existing system, DC voltage source which is maintained constant is given as the input to the inverters which contains the series connection of fundamental block and is analyzed in symmetric and asymmetric mode of operation to produce various voltage levels. The proposed approach replaces the DC voltage source to the Photovoltaic (PV) cell has been used which has variations in the output voltage side depends on the solar irradiation level. This Photovoltaic cell uses Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to produce required voltage. As the input to the multilevel inverter (MLI) has to be maintained constant a fly back forward converter has been used in between the Photovoltaic cell and the multilevel inverter, so that the required multiple constant output voltage has been obtained on the output of the converter. Using the output of the converter 13 output voltage levels can be obtained from the multilevel inverter. The performance of the proposed system is verified by simulation through MATLAB/Simulink environment
