“…Solar radiation that reaches the planet is the main energy source on the Earth's surface, which affects the environment, hydrology and human activities significantly [1,2]. Recently, the whole energy sector has moved towards the use of low-carbon applications [3,4]. As a renewable clean energy source, photovoltaic (PV) energy can reduce the depletion of the ozone layer and climate change caused by power generation from conventional sources [5,6].…”

“…As a renewable clean energy source, photovoltaic (PV) energy can reduce the depletion of the ozone layer and climate change caused by power generation from conventional sources [5,6]. Photovoltaic electricity is growing rapidly and accounted for a steady increase in the proportion of total renewable energy production [4]. China's photovoltaic installations accounts for almost 34% of the total world's installed capacity with more than twice that of Japan (with the second largest PV installation capacity in the world) [5].…”

As a kind of renewable energy, the development and utilization of solar energy is valued by many countries. Sunshine duration (SD), as an important factor to measure solar energy, has also been widely discussed as relevant in terms of distribution and variation. The spatial patterns and variation trends in SD and related factors (wind speed, precipitation, relative humidity, mean temperature and elevation) over mainland China have been studied based on data from 569 meteorological stations during 1961-2016. The results indicated that annual SD decreased significantly at the rate of −40.7 h/10a over mainland China and the decline trend was the most pronounced in the 1980s. Seasonally, the decline rate in SD was the largest in summer (−16.8 h/10a), followed by winter (−9.9 h/10a), autumn (−9.5 h/10a) and spring (−4.5 h/10a), respectively. Spatially, the decline trend in SD was significantly higher in the eastern region than in the western region during 1961-2016, especially in North China. SD was positively correlated with wind speed (R = 0.76); however, it was negatively correlated with mean temperature (R = −0.60) and precipitation (R = −0.41). Moreover, altitude and population density may affect the values and variations of annual SD over mainland China. This study provides a new perspective for the reduction of SD in mainland of China. The drastic changes in SD, such as abrupt changes and sudden decreases, were closely related to volcanic eruptions. Among them, the mean mutation and sudden decrease of SD in the 1980s were due to the long-time weakening of the aerosol accumulated by multiple volcanic eruptions. After the volcanic eruptions in the early 1990s, volcanic aerosols were gradually dissipating, resulting in a small rebound in SD.

“…In table 2, the magnitude of the solar intensity is proportional to flowrate (mol/h) and volume of hydrogen production (ml). It shows that the hydrogen production followed irradiance during the day [14]. Table 2 shows the results of calculation flow rate and volume of hydrogen can be produced from the single panel photovoltaic electric current output using equation Hydrogen Ideal Volume.…”

Indonesian society’s dependence on fossil fuel and the minimum GHG emission reduction target of 11% for the energy sector, encourages the development of hydrogen as an eco-friendly renewable energy resource for transportation and industries sector. Electrolysis is one of technology for hydrogen production. Electrolysis technology that utilizes the sun as a generating source is a eco-friendly technology of hydrogen production. The solar intensity in Semarang is 5.49 kWh/m2/day so that is potensial to used for hydrogen production. Solar intensity measurements were carried out in 2 locations in Semarang that have different altitude using single and parallel monocrystalline solar modules with observation from 8am-4pm. The measurement results are used as data for calculated the flow rate and the volume of hydrogen that can be produced. The highest hydrogen volume can be produced in Marina for single and parallel panel are 2,099.93 ml/h and 4,199.86 ml/h that are both at 10am. The highest hydrogen volume can be produced in Tembalang for single and parallel panel are 2,693.39 ml/h at 1pm and 5,751.98 ml/h at 11am. The altitude level of location greatly influences the solar intensity for hydrogen production. Parallel panel can produce hydrogen approximately 2 times single panel.

Simulation and Analysis of Perturbation and Observation-Based Self-Adaptable Step Size Maximum Power Point Tracking Strategy with Low Power Loss for Photovoltaics

2018

Photovoltaic (PV) techniques are widely used in daily life. In addition to the material characteristics and environmental conditions, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are an efficient means to maximize the output power and improve the utilization of solar power. However, the conventional fixed step size perturbation and observation (P&O) algorithm results in perturbations and power loss around the maximum power point in steady-state operation. To reduce the power loss in steady-state operation and improve the response speed of MPPT, this study proposes a self-adaptable step size P&O-based MPPT algorithm with infinitesimal perturbations. This algorithm combines four techniques to upgrade the response speed and reduce the power loss: (1) system operation state determination, (2) perturbation direction decision, (3) adaptable step size, and 4) natural oscillation control. The simulation results validate the proposed algorithm and illustrate its performances in operational procedures.
