Dynamic Modelling Of Single Phase Grid Connected Photovoltaic System, Gopi Krishna Ari May 2012

Dynamic Modelling Of Single Phase Grid Connected Photovoltaic System, Gopi Krishna Ari

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power systems have been sustaining an exponential growth rate during the past decade. This steep growth is driven by a growing concern about climate change, the adoption of an aggressive regional renewable portfolio standard, rebates and tax incentives, and reduction in PV system cost. One of the main technical barriers that can ultimately limit further PV penetration is the fast variations in the PV system's output power induced by cloud transients. Such events are known to cause voltage fluctuations which may lead to excessive operations of voltage regulation equipment and light flickering.

Solar irradiance variability, which can …


Design And Installation Of Solar Home System (Shs) Promoted By The Department Of Energy, Steve Ivan P. Dalumpines Apr 2012

Design And Installation Of Solar Home System (Shs) Promoted By The Department Of Energy, Steve Ivan P. Dalumpines

Undergraduate Theses

EzSolar method is a simple method used in designing a small Solar Home System (SHS). It offers easy calculation and acceptable performance for the system. SHS is safe, clean, low maintenance, and long lasting as long as the system is properly designed and properly installed. The Department of Energy promotes the use of EZSolar method in designing and installing SHS in off-grid areas in the country as part of its electrification program. The study discusses the basics of design and installation of SHS. This manuscript also discussed a brief comparison between the EZSolar method and the conventional method of system …
