In the present era of technology drift, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising technology that shows the considerable transition from enterprises to businesses. In this context, renewable energy has played critical roles in developing the agricultural sector with its functionality to generate power over distant areas and different terrain. There has been a transformation in the way we consume electricity and the way it is operated by the utilities. The smart monitoring features are an efficient way to utilize energy and minimize losses. These losses might be the transmission and distribution losses or losses by the inefficient household wiring or appliances. These losses can be minimized if they are monitored well with relevant data and analytics. This book chapter presents an application of the Internet of Energy (IoE) technology in the renewable sector. The study was carried applying Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) functions and corresponding Remote Monitoring System (RMS) functions. The undertaken site for Solar Water Pump (SWP) installation for irrigation is Bihar Sharif (Nalanda, Bihar). The proposed IoE based technology served maximum power output with high efficiency during operating hours. Here, the farmers may do automatic start/shut, remote start/shut from SMS/web with a health check, and self-diagnostic mechanisms for easy maintenance. Thus, the SWP system emerged as a cost-effective and environment-friendly irrigation solution for remote farmers throughout the year. The solar potential assessment of the site and circuital development were done using PVsyst 7.0 and KiCad software tools, respectively. The successful working of the developed product has been observed at the site.

Abstract This work is targeted to design an economical and self-reliant solar-powered battery charging scheme for light electric vehicles (LEV’s). The single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is utilized to enhance the performance of solar power and battery charging at various solar irradiances. Various unique attributes of a SEPIC converter offer the effective charging arrangement for a self-reliant off-board charging system. Further, the continuous conduction mode (CCM) function of the converter minimizes the elementary stress and keeps to maintain the minimum ripples in solar output parameters. A novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach executed in the designed system requires only the battery current to track the maximum power point (MPP) at various weather situations. Both the simulated and real-time behaviors of the developed scheme are examined utilizing a battery pack of 24 V and 100 Ah ratings. These responses verify the appropriateness of the designed system for an efficient off-board charging system for LEV’s.

This article concerns maximizing the energy reproduced from the photovoltaic (PV) system, ensured by using an efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) process. The process should be fast, rigorous and simple for implementation because the PV characteristics are extremely affected by fast changing conditions and Partial Shading (PS). PV systems are popularly known to have many peaks (one Global Peak (GP) and several local peaks). Therefore, the MPPT algorithm should be able to accurately detect the unique GP as the maximum power point (MPP), and avoid any other peak to mitigate the effect of (PS). Usually, with no shading, nearly all the conventional methods can easily reach the MPP with high efficiency. Nonetheless, they fail to extract the GP when PS occurs. To overcome this problem, Evolutionary Algorithms (AEs), namely the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are simulated and compared to the conventional methods (Perturb & Observe) under the same software.

This paper presents an integrated power control system for photovoltaic systems based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The architecture presented in this paper is designed to extract more power from photovoltaic panels under different partial obscuring conditions. To control the MPPT block, the integrated system used the ripple correlation control algorithm (RCC), as well as a high-efficiency synchronous direct current (DC-DC) boost power converter. Using 180 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the proposed MPPT was designed, simulated, and layout in virtuoso cadence. The system is attached to a two-cell in series that generates a 5.2 V average output voltage, 656.6 mA average output current, and power efficiency of 95%. The final design occupies only 1.68 mm2.

This paper presents nonisolated DC–DC converter which suits for solar photovoltaic (PV) applications. The DC–DC converter proposed in this paper utilizes coupled inductor, voltage boost capacitor and passive clamp circuit to achieve desired voltage gain and the passive clamp circuit will help the converter to accomplish high efficiency. To minimize the voltage spike/ringing across MOSFET drain-source and to recover the coupled inductor leakage energy, the RCD clamp circuit is used. The voltage lift capacitor along with the clamp circuit helps in increasing the voltage gain of the converter. The proposed converter offers low voltage stress on MOSFET and diode, low-coupled inductor turns ratio with low duty cycle. The converter is analyzed and simulated with PLECS standalone simulating environment for all aspects of the clamp circuit. The simulation results are compared with RCD and other clamping circuits to verify the performance of the proposed converter. The converter is also compared with active clamping to discuss the effectiveness of passive clamping circuit. To track the maximum power from the solar PV module, the conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are used. The prototype is designed and implemented for 150W and experimental results are verified.
