In recent years, various types of installations such as floating photovoltaic (PV) and agri-voltaic systems, and BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic system) have been implemented in PV systems and, accordingly, there is a growing demand for new PV designs and materials. In particular, in order to install a PV module in a building, it is important to reduce the weight of the module. The PV module in which low-iron, tempered glass is applied to the front surface, which is generally used, has excellent electrical output and reliability characteristics; however, it is heavy. In order to reduce the weight of the PV module, it is necessary to use a film or plastic-based material, as opposed to low-iron, tempered glass, on the front surface. However, if a material other than glass is used on the front of the PV module, various problems such as reduced electrical output and reduced reliability may occur. Therefore, in this paper, a PV module using a film instead of glass as the front surface was fabricated, and a characteristic analysis and reliability test were conducted. First, the transmittance and UV characteristics of each material were tested, and one-cell and 24-cell PV modules were fabricated and tested for electrical output and reliability. From the results, it was found that the transmittance and UV characteristics of the front material were excellent. In addition, the electrical output and reliability test results confirmed that the front-surface film was appropriate for use in a PV module.

In this study, a maximum power point tracker was developed for photovoltaic module arrays by using a teacher-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm to control the photovoltaic system. When a photovoltaic module array is shaded, a conventional maximum power point tracker may obtain the local maximum power point rather than the global maximum power point. The tracker developed in this study was aimed at solving this problem. To prove the viability of the proposed method, a SANYO HIP 2717 photovoltaic module with diverse connection patterns and shading ratios was used. Thus, single-peak, double-peak, triple-peak, and multi-peak power–voltage characteristic curves of the photovoltaic module array were obtained. A simulation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) was then performed with MATLAB software. With regard to practical testing, a boost converter was used as the hardware structure of the maximum power point tracker and a TMS320F2808 digital signal processor was selected to execute the rules for MPPT. The results of the practical tests verified that the proposed improved TLBO algorithm had a superior accuracy to existing TLBO algorithms. In addition, the proposed improved TLBO algorithm can shorten the tracking time to 1/2 or 1/4, so it can improve the efficiency of power generation by two to three percentage.

Sun is the most important source of renewable source of energy. During the past few decades there has been an ever-increasing interest in Photovoltaic (PV) cells as it directly converts solar radiation into electricity. This paper involves the performance study of photovoltaic system under concentrated solar radiation. The main problem with the concentration solar energy is the drastic increase in temperature of the photovoltaic module resulting in a decrease in performance efficiency of the system. This problem of overheating of the system can be overcome by providing cooling which would ensure operation of the module in the optimal temperature range. Hence, the setup would function as a hybrid model serving the dual purpose of power generation while also utilizing the waste heat for water heating applications. The experimental set up consist of a novel arrangement of concentrator and reflector and the cooling system. The Hybrid Photovoltaic System was repeatedly tested under real time conditions on several days. A comparison was drawn between the results obtained from direct exposure of a standard photovoltaic module to that obtained from the hybrid system in order to better understand the improvement in performance parameters. The study shown a significant improvement of output of standard photovoltaic module under the concentrated solar radiation.

A good study of photovoltaic system requests to have very precise current-voltage characteristic curves of photovoltaic modules for different technologies. The photovoltaic emulator provides an efficient solution to maintain the same current-voltage output of photovoltaic module. It includes three parts: the PV model, the control strategy, and the power converter. This paper provides three classes of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic arrays and presents the synthesis results of the current-voltage characteristic performances obtained by the modeling approaches. The models of the first class are based on electrical circuit model, those of the second class are based on multiple straight lines model, and for the third class, it is based on the look up table. The mathematical model is built using MATLAB/ Simulink, and an experimental bench was carried out to acquire an up-to-date and representative experimental database of four PV panels. This database is used for the validation of these models for the different PV panel technologies under Moroccan meteorological conditions. Following this comparative study, we came to a high agreement between the experimental and simulated current-voltage characteristics for the emulator under study.

The use of renewable energy sources and in particular solar energy has received considerable attention in recent decades. Photovoltaic (PV) energy projects are being implemented in very large numbers in many countries. Many research projects are carried out to analyze and verify the performance of PV modules. Implementing a pilot plant for a photovoltaic power system with a DC / DC converter to test system performance is not always possible due to practical limitations. The software simulation model helps to analyze the performance of PV modules, and more useful would be a general circuit model that can be used to test any commercial PV module. This paper presents a simulation of a mathematical model of a photovoltaic module that boosts a DC / AC converter and also simulates the operating modes of a solar generating system at various load characteristics. The model presented in this article can be used as a generalized PV module to analyze the performance of any commercially available PV module. In the presented work, the parameters that affect the performance of the generating system were investigated. The results were obtained for the operation of DC/AC photoelectric converters. The presented characteristics strongly depend on such parameters as solar insolation, the temperature of the working surface of the photovoltaic module, the charge-discharge time of storage batteries, etc. When one of the values ​​of these parameters changes, the operating modes of the solar power generating battery change. Changing the operating modes can lead to malfunctions of the entire operation of the system, therefore, it is necessary to control all the energy characteristics of the installation. The actions proposed in this work aimed at studying the operation of the photovoltaic system and the energy storage system, as well as the use of the necessary auxiliary devices for monitoring and controlling the parameters of the installation, are capable of achieving an increase in the efficiency of the generation of the system. The studies carried out in the course of the presented work make it possible to increase the level of knowledge on the control and management of the parameters of photovoltaic generating plants and expand the possibilities of their uninterrupted operation and increase energy production.


This paper attempts to highlight the effect of change in load and irradiance on Photovoltaic integrated Power system network. The Power system network considered here is IEEE 14 bus system. The simulation is done on MATLAB platform and variation of Voltage, Power and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) has been studied. The results indicates that how power quality of the power system is affected by the irradiance on Photovoltaic cell. The study is performed considering the other environmental factors such as wind velocity, ambient temperature and humidity have a negligible effect on the photovoltaic module. In a steady-state controlled environment, the simulation results show that the output voltage, current and its power decrease with time as the irradiance on the photovoltaic panel decreases.


Sun is the source of energy. Renewable energy is a clean eco-system free of harmful gasses such as carbon dioxide, and all the other harmful gases which are produced from the fossil.
