scholarly journals Quasi Z-Source Inverter for Pv Power Generation Systems

For the enormously increased power demand in the modern world, the existing fossil fuel sources seem to be inadequate to meet the demands. Hence, it is necessary to switch over to use Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Besides the demand concerns, the power generation from fossil fuels causes environmental pollution prominently. As a result, the utilization of RES has been encouraged. When RES is interconnected with the grid, this system becomes an excellent solution to fulfill the power demand of the present scenario. The energy generated from renewable energy sources varies according to seasonal variations. The power generated from RES can be delivered to the load by interconnecting it with the grid. When a small size RES system is connected with the distribution network, it can deliver energy to the isolated zones where the energy cannot be drawn from the conventional network. In this work, the Artificial Neural Network based Maximum Power Point Tracking scheme has been introduced with Photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Also, a bi-directional charger is introduced to overcome the battery issues. The model is evaluated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK package. The performance of the system is analyzed by applying different voltage levels to qZSI. The voltage gain, effectiveness of the scheme, MPPT and the regulation of the voltages are observed

The importance of extracting power from renewable energy sources are increasing in the modern world as the power demand is increasing day by day and the non renewable energy sources are getting dried up. 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 or pollution. But various issues like Power quality problems and Harmonic distortion seep in due to the intermittent nature of PV system. This paper proposes a cascaded H–bridge multilevel inverter for grid connected PV system with a flyback converter. This helps to achieve maximum power point tracking and also provides isolation which will further help to increase system efficiency. The DC–DC flyback converters are cascaded to generate multilevel output voltage. Then this multilevel dc output is given to H bridge inverter to generate multilevel output. A new control algorithm is used in this paper which combines voltage–hold Perturb and observe method and modified PWM algorithm which helps to achieve the best MPPT. The proposed topology is implemented in PSIM. The Simulation and Hardware results reveal that the suggested technique is highly.

This chapter is devoted to main tendencies of optimization in photovoltaic (PV) engineering showing the main trends in modern energy transition - the changes in the composition (structure) of primary energy supply, the gradual shift from a traditional (mainly based on fossil fuels) energy to a new stage based on renewable energy systems from history to current stage and to future. The concrete examples (case studies) of optimization PV systems in different concepts of using from power electronics (particularly maximum power point tracking optimization) to implementing geographic information system (GIS) are considered. The chapter shows the gradual shifting optimization from specific quite narrow areas to the new stages of optimization of the very complex energy systems (actually smart grids) based on photovoltaics and also other renewable energy sources and GIS.

Excessive use of traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels has resulted in significant environmental deterioration. India is one of the world’s fastest-growing energy consumers, and it is making continual efforts to increase renewable energy generation. The use of renewable energy sources to generate electricity is expanding every day. Renewable energy integration with existing power systems is a difficult endeavor that necessitates strategy and development. Climate-friendly energy systems will result from the use of renewable energy sources in power generation, as they lower CO2 emissions caused by fossil fuels used in conventional power generation. This research looks at a renewable energy scenario using Gujarat as a case study, which is a leader in renewable energy generation. The policies taken by the Gujarat government to increase renewable energy’s participation in the energy mix, as well as the challenges and potential solutions for boosting the deployment of renewable energy sources across Gujarat, are discussed. This study can be used as a guide for policymakers and researchers in other states and around the world who want to boost renewable energy share.

It has been discovered long ago that geothermal energy can be used to substitute various types of fossil fuels. Heat pumps are devices that can transfer the earth’s thermal energy from a cooler to a warmer space. Their deployment would not only benefit large companies but could even reduce the everyday costs of individuals. Among their many advantages, possibly the most important one is that it is environmentally friendly. Their power demand can ideally be satisfied using other renewable energy sources. In this article, the current situation of heat pumps and geothermal energy in Hungary, Sweden and Germany are examined including incentives and grants. Afterwards, the current situation and operation of hybrid systems in Sweden and Egypt are studied.

Instead of using non-renewable energy sources, industry researchers have wide applications in renewable energy sources such as hydro, wind and solar which are highly preferable because of having huge advantages like easily erectable and abundance in environment. For obtaining the high quality in electric power system, the system requires special conditions while connected to the grid. This paper shows the interfacing of Photovoltaic system connected to 3-phase grid. To ensure the highest output power of Photovoltaic system, a DC to DC converter with Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is required. In this work, comparative analysis has been carried out for the MPPT techniques with topology β- method which is connected in parallel to perturb and observe method. The above proposed method enhances the dynamic performance of the system and effective under the steady state as well as transient state. The proposed system is implemented and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Analysis of simulation results are carried out for validation of system.

The increasing demand for electricity has pushed more effort to focus on renewable energy sources to satisfy the consumer. The renewable energy sources are playing a major role in the generation of electricity. Out of all the renewable energy sources, solar has emerged as one of the best sources of energy since it is clean, inexhaustible and eco-friendly. However, the voltage generated by the solar cell is not sufficient for any consumer load and it is also variable. Therefore, it is necessary to implement DCDC converters for regulating and improving the output voltage of the solar panel. In order to extract the maximum output from the PV (Photovoltaic) panel, a comparative analysis of various MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithms is proposed in this paper. The proposed enhanced adaptive P&O (Perturb and Observe) algorithm is modeled and implemented with a high gain DC-DC converter. The converter investigated in this paper consists of a single power electronic switch (MOSFET) for its operation, which leads to reduction of switching and conduction losses. The proposed converter has less ripple content and a high conversion ratio. A simulation study of the proposed power electronic converter powered by PV source is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results are validated using an experimental setup.

Power generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is steadily increasing due to a number of reasons. These include government subsidies on these RESs, improvement in technology in their manufacture and efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, these RESs have associated challenges like intermittency in power generation hence unreliable power supply. Solar PV is gaining popularity as compared to other RESs due to its unique advantages in grid connected applications. It is therefore important to carry out accurate design and enough simulations on its dynamic behavior before actual installation at any given location using local environmental parameters. This paper discusses the detailed modelling, simulation and dynamic behavior of solar PV power generation systems for MG applications using Matlab/Simulink platform.

The European Union has set targets for renewable energy utilization. Poland is a member of the EU, and its authorities support an increase in renewable energy use. The background of this study is based on the role of renewable energy sources in improving energy security and mitigation of climate change. Agricultural waste is of a significant role in bioenergy. However, there is a lack of integrated methodology for the measurement of its potential. The possibility of developing an integrated evaluation methodology for renewable energy potential and its spatial distribution was assumed as the hypothesis. The novelty of this study is the integration of two renewable energy sources: crop residues and animal husbandry waste (for biogas). To determine agricultural waste energy potential, we took into account straw requirements for stock-raising and soil conservation. The total energy potential of agricultural waste was estimated at 279.94 PJ. It can cover up to 15% of national power generation. The spatial distribution of the agricultural residue energy potential was examined. This information can be used to predict appropriate locations for biomass-based power generation facilities. The potential reduction in carbon dioxide emissions ranges from 25.7 to 33.5 Mt per year.
