Solar energy is an emergent trend suitable for power production in both industrial and household appliances. The distributed renewable resource like solar energy is projected to act as a major responsibility in the forthcoming smart grid applications and technology. For the generation of electricity from solar power, it is essential to analyze the performance characteristics of the solar Photo Voltaic (PV) module, for instance, the power output of a PV panel and the prominent conversion efficiency. The performance of the electrical characterisation of a Photo Voltaic (solar) cells or module delivers the bond among the generated current and voltage on a typical solar PV cell which is termed as a V-I characteristic curve of solar cells. In this paper, a single diode correspondent circuit has been considered to inspect Voltage (V-I) and Power (P-V) characteristics for different insolation levels of a typical 100 W polycrystalline solar PV module. In order to validate the graphical depiction of the solar cell or module operation, M.file in MATLAB software was used. The generated characteristic curves summarise the connection between the current (I) and voltage (V) at the existing state of temperature with different irradiance. The obtained Power-Voltage (P-V) characterisation grant the essential information for building a solar electric power system to drive close up to its maximum peak powerpoint while feasible. The resulted graphs reveal that while considering the single diode model, the level of insolation varies with series resistance and by the generation of photo-current which in turn delivers the rapport of efficiency of solar cells. The proposed system is the initial step to learn a hybrid power system where some other renewable sources can be combined along with a solar power generation system.

Abstract Strategic dam planning and the deployment of decentralized renewable technologies are two elements of the same problem, yet they are normally addressed in isolation. Here, we show that an integrated view of the power system capacity expansion problem could have transformative effects for the 'Battery of Asia' plan. We demonstrate that Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia have tangible opportunities for meeting projected electricity demand and CO2 emission targets with less hydropower than currently planned--options range from halting the construction of all dams in the Lower Mekong to building 82% of the planned ones. The key enabling strategies for these options to succeed are solar PV and regional coordination, expressed in the form of centralized planning and cross-border power trading. The alternative expansion plans would slightly increase the cumulative costs, but limit the fragmentation of additional river reaches, thereby offering more sustainable pathways for the Mekong’s ecosystems and riparian people.

Abstract. Increasing the production of clean and environmentally friendly energy has become one of the world agendas as a strategic effort in dealing with long-term climate change. Seeing the potential of the energy produced, the ease in the installation process, with the small risk of harm generated, solar energy has received significant attention from many countries in the world. The potential for solar energy in Indonesia alone reaches 207 GWp, but only 145.81 MWp has been utilized. Currently, the Indonesian government has set a target to build a Solar Power Plant capacity in 2025 of 6.5 GWh. Urban areas are areas with higher energy demand than rural areas, but the availability of vacant land in urban areas is very minimal for installing solar power plants. Therefore, rooftop solar PV(Photovoltaic) can be a solution in dense areas such as cities. Good planning by looking at the potential resources and energy needs in spatial is needed to manage and utilize energy optimally and sustainably in urban areas. This study aims to develop a geospatial assessment for plan smart energy city that uses rooftop solar PV's potential energy in every building that is effective and efficient. The novelty in the analysis of the distribution of the potential for rooftop solar PV development in urban areas integrates meteorological and spatial aspects and socio-economic aspects. Integration of multi-dynamic spatial data uses in determining the rooftop solar PV construction location, such as meteorological data for solar energy potential, increasing energy needs of each building, and socio-economy data. The data source used comes from statistical data and remote sensing data. The analysis will be carried out temporally (2008, 2013, and 2018) to see the pattern of changes in aspects used in a certain period so that the development plan can be carried out more optimally. This research's output is the formation of a priority analysis of solar PV rooftop construction in urban areas, especially the city of Bandung. The result of energy can also produce by the construction of rooftop solar PV in a potential area. This research is expected to be utilized by policymakers to develop renewable energy in the city of Bandung and increase community participation in switching to renewable energy.

The Mathematical Model

Photovoltaic systems are designed to feed either to grid or direct consumption. Due to global concerns, significant growth is being observed in Grid connected solar PV Plants. Since the PV module generates DC power, inverter is needed to interface it with grid. The power generated by a solar PV module depends on surrounding such as irradiance and temperature. This paper presents modelling of solar PV arrays connected to grid-connected plant incorporated with irradiance and temperature variation, to design simulator to study and analyse effect on output power of solar PV arrays with irradiance and temperature variation, also to estimate the output power generated by PV arrays. The mathematical model is designed implemented separately on simulator for each PV components connected in PV systems, which are PV cell, Module, sting, array and field of arrays. The results from simulation based on model are verified by the data collected from power plants and experiments done on solar PV cell.

This paper shares initial results from a major collaborative project in Florida underway to study and address effects of high penetration levels of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation on the electric power system. The effort includes characterizing the variability of the solar resource in Florida, where a number of new multi-megawatt solar projects have either recently come online or are in the planning or construction stages (including the largest solar PV generating station in N. America at the time of this writing). Until now, most work on characterizing solar variability has focused on the Southwestern U.S. This paper shares initial results and insights on the variability of Solar PV generation output in Florida on different timescales and provides some preliminary insights into the implications and effects of the variability on the successful integration of increasingly higher penetration levels of solar PV, with respect to the integration technology, control systems, and the electric power system.

Understanding the spatiotemporal complementarity of wind and solar power generation and their combined capability to meet the demand of electricity is a crucial step towards increasing their share in power systems without neglecting neither the security of supply nor the overall cost efficiency of the power system operation. This work proposes a methodology to exploit the complementarity of the wind and solar primary resources and electricity demand in planning the expansion of electric power systems. Scenarios that exploit the strategic combined deployment of wind and solar power against scenarios based only on the development of an individual renewable power source are compared and analysed. For each scenario of the power system development, the characterization of the additional power capacity, typical daily profile, extreme values, and energy deficit are assessed. The method is applied to a Portuguese case study and results show that coupled scenarios based on the strategic combined development of wind and solar generation provide a more sustainable way to increase the share of variable renewables into the power system (up to 68% for an annual energy exceedance of 10% for the renewable generation) when compared to scenarios based on an individual renewable power source. Combined development also enables to reduce the overall variability and extreme values of a power system net load.

Solar can be converted directly into electrical energy by using solar photovoltaic (PV) which convert solar radiation by the photoelectric effect, wind energy can be converted into electrical energy by using alternator coupled with a wind turbine. Solar power system consists of solar panels, solar PV cells and batteries for storing DC energy. Solar energy is available only during the day time whereas wind energy is available throughout the day; it is only depending upon the atmospheric conditions. Wind and solar are complimentary to each other and therefore makes the system more reliable throughout the year. The study at Izazi village, Iringa – Tanzania shows that the available solar energy and wind energy are potential and sufficient for solar-wind hybrid technology. Using the data obtained from NASA for local wind and solar resources for Izazi village Iringa, Tanzania. The simulation using homer analysis software, shows that to reach the minimum cost, the solar PV modules should contribute more energy than wind turbine. The optimization results obtained therefore shows the solar-wind hybrid system can provide a solution for supplying electricity at Izazi. This model result from Izazi village can be applied easily to other villages with similar environmental condition .

Two Factors

Solar irradiation is the primary input for the solar PV module. Different types of PV module are used to get high efficiency such as polycrystalline, monocrystalline and amorphous PV module . Among all module polycrystalline PV cell is the most reliable one. Two valuable inputs of a solar PV cell are solar irradiation and temperature. For temperature, solar PV material is very sensitive. However, solar irradiation has many types of wavelengths, and each wavelength has a different effect on solar cell because each wavelength has different energy frequency. Energy frequency is the primary term which affects the output of PV panel.so in this paper two types of experimental analysis has done to know the effect of the colour spectrum, and another experiment has done to know the effect of different types of plastic on PV panel. The experimental data used to verify the efficiency and output power of the system. The results show how the output power and efficiency of PV affected by these two factors.
