Control Based Soft Switching Three-Phase Micro-Inverter: Efficiency And Power Density Optimization, Ahmadreza Amirahmadi
Control Based Soft Switching Three-Phase Micro-Inverter: Efficiency And Power Density Optimization, Ahmadreza Amirahmadi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In the field of renewable energy, solar photovoltaic is growing exponentially. Grid-tied PV micro-inverters have become the trend for future PV system development because of their remarkable advantages such as enhanced energy production due to MPPT implementation for each PV panel, high reliability due to redundant and distributed system architecture, and simple design, installation, and management due to its plug-and-play feature. Conventional approaches for the PV micro-inverters are mainly in the form of single-phase grid connected and they aim at the residential and commercial rooftop applications. It would be advantageous to extend the micro-inverter concept to large size PV installations …
Modeling And Fault Detection In Dc Side Of Photovoltaic Arrays, Mohd Akram
Modeling And Fault Detection In Dc Side Of Photovoltaic Arrays, Mohd Akram
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Fault detection in PV systems is a key factor in maintaining the integrity of any PV system. Faults in photovoltaic systems can cause irrevocable damages to the stability of the PV system and substantially decrease the power output generated from the array of PV modules. Among'st the various AC and DC faults in a PV system, the clearance of the AC side faults is achieved by conventional AC protection schemes,the DC side, however , there still exists certain faults which are difficult to detect and clear. This paper deals with the modeling, detection and classification of these types of DC …
