Abstract:

Uniaxial trackers are widely employed as the frame for solar photovoltaic (PV) panel installation. However, when used in sloping terrain scenarios such as mountain and hill regions, it is essential to apply a solar-tracking strategy with the sloping factors considered, to eliminate the shading effects between arrays and reduce the electricity production loss due to terrain changes. Based on a uniaxial tracker on the sloping terrain of a PV farm located in Ningxia, this study established a uniaxial solar-tracking strategy for sloping terrain by integrating a spatial projection model with a dyna

Abstract:

Modern-day world is facing problems such as, electricity generation deficiency, mounting energy demand, GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, reliability and soaring prices. To resolve these issues, sustainable and renewable energy resources like SPV (Solar Photovoltaic) would be quite helpful. In this regard, the extraction of maximum power from SPV array in PSC (Partial Shading Weather Conditions) remains a challenge. Creation of multiple power peaks in the P-V (Power-Voltage) curve of a PV array due to partial shading, makes it difficult to track GMPP (Global Maximum Power Point) out of multiple

Abstract:

Sunlight is converted into electrical energy due to the photovoltaic effect in photovoltaic cells. Energy yield of photovoltaic systems depends on the solar array location, orientation, tilt, tracking and local weather conditions. In order to determine the amount of energy produced in a photovoltaic system, it is important to analyze the operation of the photovoltaic (PV) arrays in real operating conditions and take into account the impact of external factors such as irradiance, ambient temperature or the speed of blowing wind, which is the natural coolant of PV panels.

Abstract:

The solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is the most prevalent and popular source of energy. But the PV output characteristics are mainly depending on temperature and irradiance and are nonlinear in nature. Therefore, PV array characteristics greatly vary with change in the atmospheric condition. Under partial shading condition (PSC), PV modules will not receive the same level of incident solar irradiance throughout the system due to some obstructions such as: dust, cloudy weather, shadows of nearby objects: buildings, trees, mountains, birds etc… which causes mismatch in PV module characteristics o

A sun-tracking solar array is an effective solution to the increasing energy demand of spacecrafts. However, the driving torque fluctuation of the solar array driving assembly (SADA) and its oscillatory motion lead to the micro-vibration problem of the spacecraft. In this article, a disturbance torque model of the sun-tracking solar array, which takes its friction and flexibility into consideration, is established. Furthermore, a test platform was built to measure the disturbance force/torque, and a solar array simulator (SAS) was designed to replace the solar array in the ground experiments.

Abstract:

In light of the global need for renewable energy as part of effort to reduce fossil fuel dependence, coupled with abundance of solar energy available over a tropical location, the need to effectively utilize photovoltaic energy cannot be overstated. Atmospheric weather parameters were measured on a daily basis from January 2007 to December 2011 at 30-minute intervals using the Davis 6162 Wireless Vantage Pro2 weather station. This work employs in-situ measurement of solar radiation over Akure (7°15’N, 5°06’E) for estimating the variability of solar PV system efficiency and effective energy bud

Abstract:

This Extraction of the maximum electrical power from a solar photovoltaic (PV) system under numerous weather conditions is required to reduce its payback time period, per unit energy price, and to compensate for the high initial price of the solar PV system. This could only be achieved by continuously operating the solar PV system at its maximum power point (MPP) under several weather conditions. Unlike under uniform weather conditions (UWC), identification of the real MPP (Global MPP) under partial shading condition (PSC) in a reasonable time is a challenging task due to the formation of mult

This paper presents simulation and design results for Transformerless Power Converters which are to be used in conjunction with a PV array for solar applications. The set of converters consists of a boost converter as well as a single-phase inverter for conversion of DC supply from the array to a usable AC voltage. The power extraction from the array is done by using the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm. Simulation is done on Proteus and PSIM.

Abstract:

The problem being solved using maximum power point tracking MPPT techniques is to find the voltage VMPP or current IMPP at which a photovoltaic module should operate to obtain the maximum power output PMAX under a given temperature and illumination (solar irradiation). This paper gives an overview about some used techniques for power point tracking. The results which will be presented will also demonstrate the influence of temperature and solar irradiation (illumination) on the output power.

Abstract:

Due to the concerns with harmful emissions, airports have a great interest in solar photovoltaic technology. On the one hand, the vacant land areas in the airport can house solar PV arrays. On the other hand, there is an aviation safety issue due to the reflections from the solar PV arrays. This paper aims to perform a glare analysis of a conceptual solar PV array for three different solar tracking techniques. This suitability analysis is carried out for fixed-tilt, single-axis and dual-axis tracking techniques using ForgeSolar software. It is observed that a single-axis tracking solar PV syst

Photovoltaic power generation systems mainly use the maximum power tracking (MPPT) controller to adjust the voltage and current of the solar cells in the photovoltaic array, so that the photovoltaic array runs at the maximum power point (MPP) to achieve the purpose of maximum power output. At present, photovoltaic power stations mainly adopt the traditional method to track the maximum power point, but this fixed step method easily causes output power oscillation of the photovoltaic array when tracking the maximum power point, and it easily falls into the local extreme point under partial shado

Traditional solar tracking systems typically depend on sunlight intensity to adjust the orientation of solar panels. However, these systems often neglect dynamic environmental factors such as wind, which can significantly impact the performance and safety of solar panels. The proposed Dynamic Adaptive Solar Tracking System (DASTS) aims to enhance energy capture efficiency and ensure the structural stability of solar panels by incorporating time-based data into its tracking algorithm.

This article presents a brushless DC motor drive using a solar photovoltaic (PV) array and grid. Solar PV array-fed drive systems typically need a DC–DC converter stage in order to optimize the solar PV array-generated power utilizing a maximum power point (MPP) tracking technique. In this work, a boost DC–DC converter is used for MPP tracking purposes. This work utilizes an incremental conductance (INC) MPP-tracking algorithm.

A spherical inflatable solar concentrator is proposed for use on the Martian surface with potential for high mobility and convenient sun tracking as well as high peak temperatures. A rover inside the inflatable concentrator is able, by moving along the floor, to cause the structure to roll such that the interior concentrator mirror can be aligned with the sun (sun tracking) over the course of the Martian day. Comparison is made to conventional solid mirror heliostats suggesting the investigated approach may offer significant advantages in flexibility as well as lower system mass and size. Appl

Rooftop mounted solar array systems are connected to the existing concrete roof using casting concrete blocks over the existing concrete roof surface or by using precast concrete blocks. Since fixing the mounting system directly on the roof surface using a bolted connection is not advisable since it can affect roof strength, concrete blocks, either precast or cast in situ, are desirable to support the mounting system. To better understand the bonding mechanism at the interface between old and new concrete surfaces, overlaid specimens were fabricated to measure the various bond strengths. Three
