Flat Plate Collector

In recent years, solar PV/T water collectors have been identified as one of the most promising hybrid devices. It is a combination of solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar flat plate collector (FPC) systems capable of generating electrical and thermal power simultaneously. This study presents a model which predicts solar PV/T collector power output using fuzzy logic techniques. A fuzzy logic model was established to predict power output of PV/T with respect to changes in input process and FPC output power. Membership functions were allocated in connection with each model input. Experimental tests conducted during the month of December 2016 are compared with the developed fuzzy model to verify predicted results. The results indicate an agreement between fuzzy model and experimental results with an accuracy of 94.38% and error of 5.62%.

Worldwide renewable energy resources, especially solar energy, are growing dramatically in view of energy shortage and environmental concerns. Large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are typically connected to medium voltage distribution grids, where power converters are required to convert solar energy into electricity in such a grid-interactive PV system.

And designing of a universal bridge inverter and AI based intelligent control for it such that it enhances the power output from the solar PV system. Designing of efficient rules for the inverter control using FUZZY algorithm. This work proposes an optimized active power enhancement method and evaluates the effect of fuzzy based controller for power enhancement on system reliability and power quality in the grid-interactive PV system with cascaded converter modules. Fuzzy set of rules are defined in a manner such that it is proved to be effective in enhancing the current output keeping the grid voltage same and hence the power output from the systems of cascaded PV modules. it can be concluded that if designing a cascaded PV solar system it is possible to increase the active power output from the inverter just by using fuzzy set of rules for firing pulses in the inverter.

This research paper presents Maximum PowerPoint Tracking method used in solar photovoltaic grid connected PV system under different solar radiation and temperature. As because the output of the PV panel is non- linear hence current and voltage of the solar PV panel behaves as a non-linear characteristic which ultimately depends upon environmental parameter and thereby causing change is maximum output power of the PV panel. At different environmental condition the solar photovoltaic set its MPP. In order to operate the PV system at different MPP so as to extract the maximum available power it is required to control the buck-boost converter proportional to the output level of the PV panel. In this paper fuzzy logic based MPPT has implemented whose output is fed to the boost converter for increasing the efficiency of the system. PI controller is used as a current control technique for obtaining satisfactory performance. The goal of this paper is to achieve higher efficiency from solar photovoltaic system by operating the system at its MPP. MATLAB Simulink is used to model the solar photovoltaic system. The result obtained fro the simulation can be implemented in Homer for optimizing the fuel cost

Partial shading affects the energy harvested from photovoltaic (PV) modules, leading to a mismatch in PV systems and causing energy losses. For this purpose, differential power processing (DPP) converters are the emerging power electronic-based topologies used to address the mismatch issues. Normally, PV modules are connected in series and DPP converters are used to extract the power from these PV modules by only processing the fraction of power called mismatched power. In this work, a switched-capacitor-inductor (SCL)-based DPP converter is presented, which mitigates the non-ideal conditions in solar PV systems. A proposed SCL-based DPP technique utilizes a simple control strategy to extract the maximum power from the partially shaded PV modules by only processing a fraction of the power. Furthermore, an operational principle and loss analysis for the proposed converter is presented. The proposed topology is examined and compared with the traditional bypass diode technique through simulations and experimental tests. The efficiency of the proposed DPP is validated by the experiment and simulation. The results demonstrate the performance in terms of higher energy yield without bypassing the low-producing PV module by using a simple control. The results indicate that achieved efficiency is higher than 98% under severe mismatch (higher than 50%).

Photovoltaic (PV) systems directly convert solar energy into electricity and researchers are taking into consideration the design of photovoltaic cell interconnections to form a photovoltaic module that maximizes solar irradiance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cell spacing effect of light diffusion on output power. In this work, the light absorption of solar PV cells in a module with three different cell spacings was studied. An optical engineering software program was used to analyze the reflecting light on the backsheet of the solar PV module towards the solar cell with varied internal cell spacing of 2 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm. Then, assessments were performed under standard test conditions to investigate the power output of the PV modules. The results of the study show that the module with an internal cell spacing of 8 mm generated more power than 5 mm and 2 mm. Conversely, internal cell spacing from 2 mm to 5 mm revealed a greater increase of power output on the solar PV module compared to 5 mm to 8 mm. Furthermore, based on the simulation and experiment, internal cell spacing variation showed that the power output of a solar PV module can increase its potential to produce more power from the diffuse reflectance of light.
