Together with advancement associated with technologies things have gotten simpler and less complicated for people. Automation is usually the employment of manage devices along with details technologies to scale back the need regarding human being do the job inside creation associated with things along with products and services. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is regarded as the famous energy source amongst renewable energy sources which in turn that utilize to relieve usage of fossil fuel. PV energy is usually a lot of abundant energy sources among renewable energy. PV technology is change sunlight energy into electrical energy. The performance of electricity of PV module can be affected by solar irradiance and ambient temperature. When PV technology is process solar irradiance, producing lowered performance of PV modules and increasing temperature of PV module. When the temperature of PV module is reach at or more than 35 °C that detected by LM 35, PIC 18F4550 is switched ON the DC cooling system and vice versa. After switch ON the cooling system, the temperature of PV module is reducing. This controller system is an intelligent system because it will run the cooling system automatically when the temperature of PV module reaches setting level that detected by temperature sensors. The higher efficiency of PV cell, the payback period of the system can be shorted and the lifespan of PV module can also be longer.

It is well known that the electrical-power generation is the key factor for advances in any other industries, agriculture and level of living. In general, electrical energy can be generated by: 1) non-renewable-energy sources such as coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear; and 2) renewable-energy sources such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and marine. However, the main sources for electrical-energy generation are: 1) thermal - primary coal and secondary natural gas; 2) “large” hydro and 3) nuclear. The rest of the energy sources might have visible impact just in some countries. Modern advanced thermal power plants have reached very high thermal efficiencies (55–62%). In spite of that they are still the largest emitters of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Due to that, reliable non-fossil-fuel energy generation, such as nuclear power, becomes more and more attractive. However, current Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) are way behind by thermal efficiency (30–42%) compared to that of advanced thermal power plants. Therefore, it is important to consider various ways to enhance thermal efficiency of NPPs. The paper presents comparison of thermodynamic cycles and layouts of modern NPPs and discusses ways to improve their thermal efficiencies.

Описаны конструктивные особенности трехвходовой аксиальной генераторной установки (ТАГУ), преобразующей кинетическую энергию ветра и световую энергию солнца и суммирующей механическую, световую и тепловую энергию с одновременным преобразованием полученной суммарной энергии в электрическую. Показаны преимущества ТАГУ перед двухвходовыми генераторными установками. Дополнительное включение стабилизатора напряжения в схему ТАГУ позволило расширить область применения стабилизированной трехвходовой аксиальной генераторной установки за счет стабилизации ее выходного напряжения. The design features of the three-input axial generating installation (TAGI), which converts the kinetic energy of wind and light energy of the sun and sums the mechanical, light and thermal energy with the simultaneous conversion of the total energy into electrical energy, are described. The benefits of TAGI in front of the two-input generating installation shown. The additional introduction of a voltage regulator into the TAGI scheme allowed to expand the scope of the stabilized three-input axial generating installation by stabilizing its output voltage.

This paper gives a review of energy scenario in India and other countries. Today’s demand of the world is to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, during the production of electricity. Henceforth over the world, the production of electrical power is changing by introducing abundantly available renewable energy sources like sun and wind. But, because of the intermittent nature of sustainable power sources, the electrical power network faces many problems, during the transmission and distribution of electricity. For resolving these issues, Electrical Energy Storage (EES) is acknowledged as supporting technology. This paper discusses about the world electrical energy scenario with top renowned developed countries in power generation and consumption. Contribution of traditional power sources changed after the introduction of renewable energy sources like sun and wind. Worldwide Agencies are formed like International Energy Agency (IEA), The Central Intelligence Agency, (CIS) etc. The main aim of these agencies is to provide reliable, affordable and clean energy. This paper will discuss about the regulatory authority and government policies/incentives taken by different countries.  At the end of this paper, author focuses on obstacles in implementation, development and benefits of renewable energy.

The growing demand for electrical energy calls for the assimilation of renewable energy sources to the main utility grid. Multiple renewable energy sources (RESs) like solar PV array, wind turbine, micro-hydro plant, etc. can be combined and controlled to form a microgrid. In spite of the availability of different microgrid topologies, DC microgrid largely facilitates the injection of DC power from various renewable energy sources into the stabilised DC power pool. The requirement for a minimal number of conversion stages, simple structure, economic operation, and numerous localised applications are driving factors for the DC microgrid technology. The mettle of the DC microgrid technology lies in choosing the appropriate microgrid participants for energy interchange and the suitable supervisory control to tap power from the microgrid partakers even after respecting their operating constraints. The use of high gain DC-DC converters is inevitable in DC microgrid due to the low terminal voltage levels of different RESs.


As the demand for electrical energy increases continuously, we cannot rely on the existing conventional source for continuous power supply, as they are diminishing fast. The renewable energy sources are the best alternative for this energy crisis. We have different types of renewable energy sources and choice of source depends on location and load requirement. The most prominent source is the solar energy because of its own advantages. The nature of supply from this source is DC and it is to be converted into AC for supply to consumers. However, inverters are used for this conversion but produces harmonics. The Multilevel inverters are the alternate choice over conventional inverters due to the advantages of Low dv/dt and lower switching losses. Out of various multilevel inverters, cascaded H bridge (CHB) MLI topology is a well known solution for reducing the harmonics, which needs more number of switches and isolation power supplies which further increases the cost. This paper describes a proposed hybrid H-bridge topology with reduced switches. The proposed topology is implemented in Matlab/Simulink and results for 5, 7, 9 and 11 level are analyzed with their THD in output voltage. Hardware model for 5-level inverter is developed using 8051 micro-controller and results are presented

Due to the ever-increasing volume of energy consumption, the number of power plants capable of generating the necessary amount of electrical energy inevitably increases. The development and construction of new renewable energy sources and distribution generation facilities, the increase in electricity consumption and the growth of the tariff stimulates the search for effective technological solutions. Also in connection with the increasing popularity and improvement of technologies, there is a natural need to assess the prospects and potential opportunities of SES in the region as a whole, and for the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia, in particular.

At the heart of a micro-grid that includes several sources of electrical energy, including renewable energy, there must be a base (reference) source that sets the voltage and frequency in the network. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in developing a basic voltage source of a micro-grid, which includes renewable energy sources. (Materials and methods) The article shows that the sources of electrical energy are different, but the main requirement for them is to be able to supply voltage to the electrical network at any time, there is a standard voltage scale in the network. For a micro-grid, which will include various sources of electrical energy with a total power of up to 25 kW, you can limit yourself to a voltage of 220 V and a single-phase electrical network. (Results and discussion) The article presents a block diagram; technical characteristics and electrical diagram of the inverter of a single-phase basic voltage source; a method for calculating the output filter of the inverter based on pulse-width modulation technology. (Conclusions) When using renewable energy sources in the micro-grid, it is necessary to take into account that there are periods of time in which they do not generate electrical energy and choose as the base one that will not have such moments, or you need to use a temporary electricity storage device. It is possible to use a chemical source or a battery of accumulators as a base source. When creating a micro-grid of alternating voltage, an inverter is added to these sources from constant voltage to alternating voltage. The article presents a block diagram of a base voltage source with an AC output reference voltage to create a micro grid with a power of up to 25 kW.


Towards the end of the previous century, the humanity understood very clearly two facts – first, the World supplies of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas, uranium) are limited, and, second, industrial development and classical generation of electrical energy seriously endanger the environment. Renewable energy sources (sun energy, wind energy, bio fuels, etc.) are based on the use of natural fluxes of energy (Masters,2004). That is why they are considered to be inexhaustible. In specific cases of implementations, for example in lighting, a direct generation of electrical energy using photovoltaics is outlined as a long-term one.
