In recent years, renewable energy sources have been drastically increased over any other energy sources. In among those renewable energy sources, solar energy has gained more attention and importance over other types of renewable energies. On a smaller scale, whether by PV cell panels or passive solar home architecture, we can leverage the sun's rays to fuel the entire building. Passive solar homes are built to obtain heating through concrete, bricks, tiles, and other heat retaining materials in the sun through south-facing windows. Some solar-powered homes produce more than enough electricity, enabling the homeowner to return to the grid to sell surplus power. Batteries are also an economically attractive way to store excess solar energy so that it can be used at night. Scientists are hard at work on new advances that blend form and function, such as solar skylights and roof shingles. So, in order to convert solar energy to electrical energy, inverters are employed using photovoltaic cells. According to the necessity of power consumption and to increase the efficiency multilevel inverters are made into applicability. This paper focuses on the vital role played by photovoltaic cells to reduce the switching stress on cascaded type H-Bridge configured multilevel inverter. As a positive side effect of this, one can achieve reduced harmonic distortion, increased efficiency in output power, reduced power loss, ease of implementation. As well as by decreasing the number of switches employed, the system become more efficient.

AbstrakEnergi surya (matahari) merupakan salah satu sumber energi terbarukan yang paling penting dan sangat berlimpah di Indonesia. Dengan potensinya yang sangat besar tersebut, energi surya diyakini menjadi sumber energi utama di masa depan. Eenergi surya di Indonesia sangatlah besar. Indonesia memiliki sekitar 4.8 KWh/m2 atau setara dengan 112.000 GWp energi surya. Sayangnya energi surya ini belum mendapatkan porsi yang semestinya di negara ini. Dari total potensi energi surya tersebut, Indonesia baru memanfaatkan sekitar 10 MWp. Hambatan yang masih sering terjadi pada penggunaan PLTS ini adalah pada tidak dapatnya diprediksi keacaan cuaca dalam waktu yang singkat, sehingga produksi energi listrik sulit dapat memenuhi target yang diharapkan, dan hal ini membuat ketidak nyamanan pengguna. Perlunya penelitian terhadap efisiensi modul solar panel, karena saat ini efisiensi yang dihasilkan modul solar panel masih sangat rendah, sehingga untuk mendapatkan 1 KWh energi listrik masih tergolong sangat mahal.Abstract Solar energy (sunlight) is one of the renewable energy sources the most important and very abundant in Indonesia. With such huge potential, solar energy is believed to be the main energy source in the future. Solar Eenergi in Indonesia is very large. Indonesia has around 4.8 KWh / m2 or equivalent to 112,000 GWp of solar energy. Unfortunately, solar energy has not received the proper portion of the country. Of the total solar energy potential, Indonesia has only utilized approximately 10 MWp. Barriers are still common in the use of solar power is at the inability to predict the weather keacaan in a short time, so the production of electrical energy is difficult to meet the expected targets, and this makes it an inconvenience for the user. The need for research on the efficiency of solar panel modules, because the current efficiency of the resulting solar panel module is still very low, so to get 1 kWh of electrical energy is still relatively very expensive.

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.

The article aims to study current trends in the use of solar energy in Ukraine and the world as one of the main directions of decarbonization of the national economy. The authors systematize the prospects, advantages and disadvantages of the development of renewable energy sources. They conducted a comparative analysis of the "efficiency" of solar energy in some countries and Ukraine. The authors determined that the leading position in terms of the share of energy consumed from renewable sources is occupied by countries with developed economies due to the availability of effective motivational mechanisms. From the experience of EU countries, the authors concluded that renewable energy sources form a prerequisite for obtaining additional socio-economic and environmental effects. In the presence of favorable market conditions, renewable energy sources can increase the level of energy security in the country and its energy independence. The article analyzes the legislation of Ukraine on stimulating the development of alternative energy. The authors proposed two opposed ways of further developing solar energy in Ukraine. In particular, the country can implement methods of using alternative energy, which developed countries have successfully implemented. Another area involves increasing research and innovation in implementing, using, maintaining, and utilizing energy-generating devices from alternative energy sources. Despite the polarity of the proposed directions for further development of renewable energy, in both cases, the state policy on attracting investment and promoting the use of energy from alternative energy sources is crucial. In addition, the authors noted the benefits for society from the development and implementation of alternative energy sources. The scaling up and promotion of energy production technologies from alternative sources can reduce carbon emissions, which has been an urgent problem globally.

The decrease in fossil-based energy sources and increasing environmental problems increase the tendency to renewable energy sources day by day. The potential of renewable energy sources differs according to the region where the energy will be produced. For this reason, it is crucial to conduct a good feasibility study that deals with the selected systems from a technical and economic point of view before making an investment decision on energy conversion systems based on renewable energy sources. In this study, the most suitable equipment and capacities were investigated by examining the techno-economic analysis of a hybrid system created with wind-solar renewable energies for a detached house, which is considered off-grid, in a rural area of Tekirdağ province (40o58.7ı N, 27o30.7ı E). Investigations were carried out using the HOMER Pro (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) program. The wind and solar energy potential of Tekirdağ province were obtained from the NASA renewable energy resources database added to the HOMER Pro program. The daily electricity requirement of the sample house was chosen as 11.27 kWh, and the current peak electrical load was chosen as 2.39 kW. A wind turbine is connected to the AC busbars, solar collectors and battery group connected to the DC busbars, and a converter that converts energy between AC and DC busbars in the energy conversion system. In order to determine the optimum capacities of the system elements, 27486 different simulations were performed by HOMER Pro. The selection of the most suitable system among these was determined according to the lowest net present cost (NPC) value. In addition, the energy production capacities that will occur in the case of different wind speeds were also investigated. Accordingly, the system to be installed with a solar panel with a capacity of 6.25 kW, PV-MPPT with a capacity of 1 kW, 2 wind turbines with a capacity of 1 kW, 8 Lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 6V-167 Ah, and a converter with a capacity of 2.5 kW has been determined will generate electrical energy of 5433 kWh per year. In addition, it has been determined that 61.8% of this produced energy will be obtained from solar energy and 38.2% from wind energy, and the simple payback period of the investment will be 14 years. It is thought that this study will provide valuable information to researchers and investors.
