Public lighting is an essential service in today’s cities, towns, and highways, including improving public safety and reducing traffic accidents. Public lighting could consume up to 40% of the energy budget of the local governments. Therefore, the technical innovations related to public lighting always bring significant value to municipal governments. In Vietnam, the public lighting in big cities account for 25% of the total power consumption. The solutions to reducing electricity consumption for public lighting are also of interest to domestic and foreign organizations, including the use of on-site energy such as wind and solar energy. In this paper, on the basis of the current state of the public lighting system and the potential of solar energy in Hanoi, the authors have roughly calculated the technical and economic efficiency of power supply solutions using solar energy in public lighting. The proposal of solving the power supply problem, by using solar energy in public lighting in Hanoi is another result of the paper.

Peculiarities of estimation of total energy losses in electric networks and estimation of nature of electricity consumption in local power supply systems (LES) are given. The structure of additional electricity losses in LES in the presence of higher harmonics of current and voltage is carried out, the generalized schedule of instantaneous functions of current i(t), voltage u(t), and power p(t) on components. The offered indicators of an estimation of the performance of criterion of a minimum of losses of the electric power in LES allow to estimate levels of distortion of power processes at consideration both exchange processes, and at the analysis of additional losses of the electric power. The accuracy of measuring the integrated characteristics of energy exchange depending on the available levels of distortion of voltage and current signals is considered. It is shown that in order to take into account the influence of higher harmonics on the total power consumption, it is necessary to determine the change of Frize QFpower as an indicator of additional electricity losses in the presence of non-sinusoidal currents and voltages in at different ratios between the value of current and voltage of the first and higher harmonics. The evaluation of the efficiency of power consumption regulation using the Frize QF power at an arbitrary time interval, as well as the corresponding current distribution into active and reactive components are considered. The peculiarities of increasing the efficiency of power consumption regulation in LES at the cyclic change of generator parameters and load are analysed.

Alternative sources of energy are being sought after in the world today, as the availability of fossil fuels and other non-renewable resources are declining. Solar energy offers a promising solution to this search as it is a less polluting renewable energy resource and can be easily converted into electricity through the usage of photovoltaic systems. This thesis focuses on the modeling of urban solar energy with high spatiotemporal resolution. A methodology was developed to estimate hourly solar PV electricity generation potential on rooftops in an urban environment using a 3-D model. A case study area of Ryerson University, Toronto was chosen and the incident solar radiation upon each building rooftop was calculated using a software tool called Ecotect Analysis 2011. Secondly, orthophotos of the case study area were digitized using Geographic Information Systems in order to eliminate undesirable rooftop objects within the model. Lastly, a software tool called HOMER was used to generate hourly solar PV electricity estimates using the values generated by the other two software tools as input parameters. It was found that hourly solar PV output followed the pattern of a binomial curve and that peak solar generation times coincided with summer peak electricity consumption hours in Ontario.

Utilization of renewable energy becomes a necessity in the future due to the fossil energy supply continues to decline. In Indonesia, the use of electricity from renewable sources is minimal. The utilization of solar energy in Indonesia is still limited to remote areas or islands. The main problem of electricity in Indonesia, especially in the city of Banda Aceh, is the frequent occurrence of power outages from the state power plant (PLN), especially during peak load time (WBP). Outside of that time, electricity supply exceeds demand. This study aims to utilize solar energy to reduce the electricity consumption of PLN during WBP. The system is designed to divert the power supply from PLN to the solar power plant (PLTS). The results of a survey of 10 A (current limit) customers are used as a reference to calculate PLTS capacity. During WBP, PLTS supplies to the load, beyond that time, PLN will supply the load. The system is designed to store maximum energy beyond the WBP period into the battery, the source of energy is mainly from the PLTS and alternatively from the PLN when the PLTS can not supply the maximum power. Based on battery energy, the system diverts the load supply from PLN when the battery energy is below the recharge limit. In the case of 10 A customers, with the energy requirement during WBP of 4.3 kWh, it requires 12 solar panels (160 Watt maximum power) arranged in parallel. Thus, the system needs three batteries with 150 Ah capacity also assembled in parallel. The implementation results prove that the PLTS can store solar energy to the battery properly, the system also successfully divert the PLTS source to the load at the time of WBP and transfer back to the PLN source when the battery energy is less than the recharge limit.

Solar energy is a renewable energy abundant throughout the year in a tropical weather country like Malaysia. This paper investigates the viability of using solar PV systems as a cost-saving measure to supply electricity for Taylor’s University (TU) daily energy usage. Experimental values were compared with theoretical values and analyzed in this paper. In this experiment, four photovoltaic (PV) panels connected in parallel were linked to a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) charge controller acting as a voltage regulator. A lead-acid battery was also coupled to the controller that acts as an energy storage to store the harvested solar energy from PV panels and discharge it in electricity. Temperature sensors connected to an Arduino UNO were placed at different locations on the solar panels to monitor for irregularities in the temperature of the panels. The amount of electricity produced was calculated using the data obtained. The results showed that using a larger PV system will generate much more electricity and create a high return on investment (ROI) if the solar panels absorbed sunlight under good weather conditions, thus bringing forward a potential solution to reduce TU’s electricity consumption.

We propose variable pumping frequency (VPF) scheme which is merged with the previous reconfigurable charge pump (RCP) circuit that can change its architecture according to a given sunlight condition. Here, merging the VPF scheme with the architecture reconfiguration can improve percentage output currents better by 21.4% and 22.4% than RCP circuit with the fixed pumping frequencies of 7 MHz and 15 MHz, respectively. Comparing the VPF scheme with real maximum power points (MPP), the VPF can deliver 91.9% of the maximum amount of output current to the load on average. In terms of the power and area overheads, the VPF scheme proposed in this paper consumes the power by 0.4% of the total power consumption and occupies the layout area by 1.61% of the total layout area.

The explicit model of the energy yield with respect to irradiance and cell temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) system can be apprehended using pvsyst software. Building on this data, this paper addresses performance challenges for JA Solar, JAP6 (DG) 60-235 solar PV module driving a load of Enphase, IQ6-60-x-240 grid inverter. The data modeling reflects correlation of 62% between panel temperature and output efficiency. Researchers in the past have claimed that extreme temperature exposure as one of the main impediment in decline of solar panel's life span and figured 25 °C as the ideal temperature for optimum yield. This research proposes the Internet of things (IoT)-based smart solar energy system (SES) for smart cities that automatically tune the low-powered cooling unit to lower panel's temperature to outmatch energy yield and augment solar panels life. The analog design of the cooling mechanism is set up for temperature range from −10 °C to 85 °C using hybrid op-amp proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller and heat sink/fan with surface mount temperature sensor to maintain module temperature. The experiment analysis showed improvement of 1.7% to 2.99% in output efficiency after considering 1.8 W total power intake of the cooling circuit relative to the pvsyst v6.74 results. To access temperature data of solar panel and output current along with in-built system's current consumption, IoT accreditation is done using node MCU and Wi-Fi module.
