Save Energy

Most of renewable energy electrification systems in rural residential area in Malaysia are benefitting the solar PV (photovoltaic) system. The initial 24VDC voltage generated by the modules are converted and inverted to 240VAC to replicate national utility grid standard. However indeed most modern connected loads and electrical appliance are operable within DC voltage internally which requires no extra conversion or inversion at all. Nevertheless when the AC voltage from the grid once been connected to the system, the early PV modules seemed to be totally forgotten and abandoned. An energy conservation concept has been disrupted. A new strategy of benefitting both available DC power and AC utility grid was introduced which could be implemented to save energy and optimised the whole system. Throughout design concept has been proposed and discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to achieve accurate maximum power from solar photovoltaic (PV), its five parameters need to be estimated. This study proposes a novel optimization technique for parameter estimation of solar PV. Design/methodology/approach To extract optimal parameters of solar PV new optimization technique based on the Jellyfish search optimizer (JSO). The objective function is defined based on two unknown variables and the proposed technique is used to estimate the two unknown variables and the rest three unknown variables are estimated analytically. Findings In this paper, JSO is used to estimate the parameters of a single diode PV model. In this study, eight different PV panels are considered. In addition, various performance indices, such as PV characteristics, such as power-voltage and current-voltage curves, relative error (RE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and normalized mean absolute error (NMAE) are determined using the proposed algorithm and existing algorithms. The results for different solar panels have been obtained under varying environmental conditions such as changing temperature and constant irradiance or changing irradiance and constant temperature. Originality/value The proposed technique is new and provides better results with minimum RE, RMSE, NMAE, MAE and converges fast, as depicted by the fitness graph presented in this paper.

Rooftop Solar

Rooftop solar photovoltaic(PV) installation in India have increased in last decade because of the flat 40 percent subsidy extended for rooftop solar PV systems (3 kWp and below) by the Indian government under the solar rooftop scheme. From the residential building owner's perspective, solar PV is competitive when it can produce electricity at a cost less than or equal grid electricity price, a condition referred as “grid parity”. For assessing grid parity of 3 kWp and 2 kWp residential solar PV system, 15 states capital and 19 major cities were considered  for the RET screen simulation by using solar isolation, utility grid tariff, system cost and other economic parameters. 3 kWp and 2 kWp rooftop solar PV with and without subsidy scenarios were considered for simulation using RETscreen software. We estimate that without subsidy no state could achieve grid parity for 2kWp rooftop solar PV plant. However with 3 kWp rooftop solar PV plant only 5 states could achieve grid parity without subsidy and with government subsidy number of states increased to 7, yet wide spread parity for residential rooftop solar PV is still not achieved. We find that high installation costs, subsidized utility grid supply to low energy consumer and financing rates are major barriers to grid parity.

<p>The objective of this paper is to find out key factors influencing target market of solar photovoltaic industry; and identify ways on how to reduce cost of sales in solar photovoltaic industry in Nepal. It also analyzes better ways of marketing solar photovoltaic system in current market. The conceptual model taken for this study comprises of Porter’s (1985) value chain analysis theory which has identified two sequences of activities i.e. primary and support activities. Exploratory research has been used where primary data is collected through structured questionnaire distributed among 120 individual sellers of solar photovoltaic system inside Kathmandu valley. The data collected are analyzed using SPSS 16.0 which is coded and tabulated by Microsoft Excel spreadsheet application.</p><p>The result of the analysis of the data shows that factors influencing value chain of solar PV industry are infrastructure (mostly furniture, workshop, showroom, capital and human resources in less number) needed to set up a company, imported from different countries, distribution channel, subsidy claim, marketing medium and after sales service. Few companies import huge quantity of solar related products. Most of the companies targeting direct customer don't claim subsidy directly rather they claim via other pre-qualified companies. Also these companies consider radio advertisement to reach customers at large rather than any other medium of marketing. These companies value warranty and repair &amp; maintenance services as an after sales service. Although few of the solar photovoltaic systems are manufactured in Nepal, they prefer to import these items rather than promote Nepal made products. Thus, these factors have created value from import to service to the customers.</p><p>Journal of Business and Social Sciences Research, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 153-168</p>

Solar Photovoltaic System

The power generated by solar photovoltaic system depends on insolation, temperature and shading situation etc. These days’ solar PV arrays are mainly building integrated. Therefore PV array are often under partial shadow. The feature of these shadows can be either easy-to-predict (like neighbour’s chimney, nearby tree or neighbouring buildings) or difficult-to-predict (passing clouds, birds litter).Thus output power obtained by PV arrays decreases in a considerable manner. In this paper, output powers, currents and voltages for SP & TCT topologies are calculated for different patterns of easy-to-predict partial shading conditions on a 4×4 PV field.

Microgeneration of electricity using solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is a sustainable form of renewable energy, however uptake in Ireland remains very low. The aim of this study is to assess the potential of the community-based roof top solar PV microgeneration system to supply electricity to the grid, and to explore a crowd funding mechanism for community ownership of microgeneration projects. A modelled microgeneration project was developed: the electricity load profiles of 68 residential units were estimated; a community-based roof top solar PV system was designed; an electricity network model, based on a real network supplying a town and its surrounding areas, was created; and power flow analysis on the electrical network for system peak and minimum loads was carried out. The embodied energy, energy payback time, GHG payback time, carbon credits and financial cost relating to the proposed solar PV system were calculated. Different crowdfunding models were assessed. Results show the deployment of community solar PV system projects have significant potential to reduce the peak demand, smooth the load profile, assist in the voltage regulation and reduce electrical losses and deliver cost savings to distribution system operator and the consumer.

Energy And Exergy Analysis

The solar photovoltaic system generates both thermal energy and electrical energy by utilizing solar energy. In this paper an experimental attempt has made for calculating energy output as well as exergy output of solar PV panel installed at R.L.J.I.T. Bangalore. Energy and exergy analysis was performed by using first and second law of thermodynamics to evaluate energy and exergy. The framework involved in this process are ambient temperature, overall heat transfer, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, fill factor, solar radiations etc. It is predicted that temperature of pv solar module has most effect on the efficiencies. By the help of water or air the heat can be removed to improve both energy and exergy efficiencies.
