In photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, the P-V curve of PV array contains several peaks under partially shaded condition (PSC) so that conventional MPP tracking (MPPT) methods can hardly find the real MPP (MPP). This paper proposes an optimized MPPT strategy, which is not only fit for PSC but also suitable for uniform shaded conditions (USC). Comparing the optimized MPPT strategies and conventional MPPT methods, this paper illustrates the improved performance of optimized strategy under PSC. The simulation and experiment results show that the optimized strategy can track the global MPP precisely to improve the efficiency of PV systems.

<p>The inverter is the principal part of the photovoltaic (PV) systems that assures the direct current/alternating current (DC/AC) conversion (PV array is connected directly to an inverter that converts the DC energy produced by the PV array into AC energy that is directly connected to the electric utility). In this paper, we present a simple method for detecting faults that occurred during the operation of the inverter. These types of faults or faults affect the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the photovoltaic system, especially the inverter, which is the main component responsible for the conversion. Hence, we have shown first the faults obtained in the case of the short circuit. Second, the open circuit failure is studied. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method. Good monitoring and detection of faults in the inverter can increase the system's reliability and decrease the undesirable faults that appeared in the PV system. The system behavior is tested under variable parameters and conditions using MATLAB/Simulink.</p>

Pv Power Generation

At present, the world is now passing a very far different time than normal situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The global life-style and human civilization is currently progressing with down-stream that affecting almost every sectors necessary for human civilizations except the current environmental situation. To control the COVID-19 spreading, most of the countries are following lockdown process that reduces human mobility, thus reducing the CO2 emission to the environment. Though the COVID-19 pandemic is a blessing for the present environment, however, the post-COVID world will face a massive thrust of energy and only conventional energy resources may not be enough to mitigate the energy demands. Solar power generation technology mainly the photovoltaic (PV) systems and their advancement can be the leading possibilities to minimize the gap between the power demand and generation. It is now time to think how we can improve the PV power generation in future and the post-COVID world. In this encyclopaedia communication, we report on Nano-technological approach to improve the conversion efficiency of GaAs solar cells. We have designed and optimized several types of nano-structured assemblies that can be implemented to reduce the front surface incident light reflection losses thus can assist to improve the conversion efficiency of GaAs solar cells.

A standalone photovoltaic system mainly consists of photovoltaic panels and battery bank. The use of such systems is restricted mainly due to their high initial costs. This problem is alleviated by optimal sizing as it results in reliable and cost-effective systems. However, optimal sizing is a complex task. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been shown to be effective in PV system sizing. This paper presents an AI-based standalone PV system sizing method. Differential evolution multi-objective optimization is used to find the optimal balance between system’s reliability and cost. Two objective functions are minimized, the loss of load probability and the life cycle cost. A numerical algorithm is used as a benchmark for the proposed method’s speed and accuracy. Results indicate that the AI algorithm can be successfully used in standalone PV systems sizing. The proposed method was roughly 27 times faster than the numerical method. Due to AI algorithm’s random nature, the proposed method resulted in the exact optimal solution in 6 out of 12 runs. Near-optimal solutions were found in the other six runs. Nevertheless, the nearly optimal solutions did not introduce major departure from optimal system performance, indicating that the results of the proposed method are practically optimal at worst.

Along with the continuous expansion of photovoltaic (PV) power generation, different capacity of grid connected PV system is gradually increased. China's first residential grid-connected PV system has interconnected successfully in QingDao and operated normally. This document analyzed electrical connected diagram of grid-connected PV system. Using power quality analyzer, the online power quality is monitored and analyzed. When PV power generation is low efficiency of operating state, harmonic current is over distortion limits. Monitoring data was simulated through electrical power standard source. To ensure power metering accuracy under harmonic, the watt-second method is proposed. Testing results show that smart electrical meter can meter accurately within 20 times harmonics.

In recent years, buildings have tended to be taller, and their energy potential is expected be used effectively . Photovoltaics is considered one of technologies affected by air temperature, outside air velocity, and solar radiation from the aerological climate of supertall buildings with a height of 390 m. The energy potential of the “height” of photovoltaic power generation systems is affected by two factors: aerological climate and shadows cast by surrounding buildings. Taking these effects into account, the predicted annual power generation amount was calculated. At 390 m above ground, it was confirmed that the power generation amount was greater than that on the ground, when considering the effectiveness of photovoltaic systems. Then, we calculated the predicted annual power generation amount on each wall and roof surface of a tall building with a height of 390 m above the ground. By evaluating the energy-saving effect of adopting photovoltaic systems, we evaluated the photovoltaic system using the wall surface from the viewpoint of the primary energy reduction and primary energy consumption of the building.
