Experimental analysis of a solar PV/diesel hybrid system without storage: Focus on its dynamic behavior

Energy Management Strategies for Hybrid PV/Diesel Energy Systems: Simulation and Experimental Validation

“…Additionally on the cloudy day and sunny day under this strategy, the voltage value during the tests ranged from 225.5V to 231V. According to the standard EN 50160, the variation of the voltage should be in the range of ±10% of the nominal value (230V) [8]. On the two days considered the same voltage fluctuation level in the order of 2% has been observed.…”

“…Experimental Analysis The integration of a PV system into a microgrid like hybrid PV/Diesel system including a diesel generator can have significant impacts on power quality in general and especially on voltage and frequency as investigated in [8]. In the following sub-section, the energy system's frequency and voltage under the energy management strategies proposed are presented and discussed.…”

“…Furthermore, in a hybrid PV/Diesel system without battery, an energy management system is mandatory to increase their reliability and their optimal operation. Many studies have been published and demonstrated that there is a potential for hybrid systems based on PV/Diesel system but very few include experimental verification of the system behavior [5,8,9]. In this paper, energy management strategies based respectively on inverter active power control and on controllable loads using are proposed and compared to inverter ON/OFF control strategy from simulation and experimental analysis.…”

Feasibility of Substitution of the Conventional Street Lighting Installation by the Photovoltaic Case Study on a Municipality in Agadir in Morocco

“…These studies confirmed that the energy consumption in street lighting system is considerably reduced with PV power source. However, these works focused only on the technical feasibility [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], and it's much difficult to find studies on the sustainable and exhaustive feasibility in literature which require an analysis of electrical quality of power supply installation in accordance with EN50160 standard [12,13], and the quality of the electrical network consistent with the standards CE161000-2-2 [14] and CEI61000-3-4 [15].…”

Modeling and optimization of batteryless hybrid PV (photovoltaic)/Diesel systems for off-grid applications

“…When several Diesel generators operate in parallel, the whole PV/Diesel hybrid system is subject to two main requirements to ensure its reliability. They are: the frequency and the voltage stabilities at any point of the electrical grid [25,26]. To ensure this, one approach is to use a single Diesel generator (master) to set the frequency.…”
