“…Warning faults are those in which the inverter function is normal but the output power drops due to external factors. These type of cautionary faults do not make the circuit unserviceable or breakdown but must be attended (28,29) . These major warning faults are (1) Grid Fault Ride Through (GFRT) Run, (2) Volt shift in volt ampere reactive (VAR), (3) Frequency shift watt adjusted; HVRT: high voltage ride-through (Table 4 and Figure 4).…”

Objectives: Present work envisages fault detection along with troubleshooting methodologies confirmed in solar photovoltaic workshop for grid-tied threephase inverters. Only innovative inventions are not only necessary for the society to become advanced but also to continue the modern electrical evolution with zero carbon. Methods: Here with the help of sungrow software DSP1_20_VA_J & IDM-AC Fm ver the inverter sends a notification about the fault with a fault status code to the HMU/LCD display. As per fault severity it may completely shut down or partially operate the inverter with reduced load. After the fault rectification manually by the site operator again it restores the power and inject power to the grid. Finding: Here with the help of sungrow software DSP1_20_VA_J &IDM-AC Fm ver we find various types of faults with the nature of faults i.e. insulation fault, leakage current fault, over voltage/under voltage fault, frequency faults, temperature fault, islanding with its rectification process. The major, minor, and cautionary faults and their troubleshooting procedures are elucidated in the present study with coding of faults, and its alarm level. Novelty: In previous researches, the fault identification was not done properly; as a result the inverters are tripping frequently. The present software helps to detect fault of the inverter within 0.023 millisecond and send a message to the service engineer for rectification. The present research can be of immense help to the service engineers and field workers working on solar photo voltaic sector considering popularity of photovoltaic units.

Bangladesh, as a populous South Asian nation, grapples with the dual challenge of meeting escalating energy demands while tackling environmental degradation and reducing dependency on fossil fuels. In response to the imperative of sustainable development and the pressing global issue of climate change, the adoption of renewable energy sources has emerged as a critical strategy. This paper explores the viability and potential of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants as a solution to Bangladesh’s energy challenges, with a specific focus on the Patenga region.Situated advantageously for solar energy harnessing, Patenga offers a promising locale for solar PV power generation. Through the establishment of a 40 MW solar PV power plant, this study proposes to address the energy requirements of the South Patenga City Corporation High School while also contributing surplus energy to the national grid. The geographic coordinates of Patenga (latitude: 22.235128°N, longitude: 91.806085°E) along the Bay of Bengal present an ideal coastal setting for solar energy exploitation.Detailed analysis reveals the economic viability and environmental benefits of the proposed solar PV project. With a projected payback period of seven years and an estimated revenue exceeding Tk 9 billion, the project promises profitability and sustainability. Leveraging solar energy not only ensures a stable and cost-effective electricity supply for the school but also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in advancing industry, innovation, infrastructure, decent work, and economic growth.The feasibility study conducted through platforms such as the Global Solar Atlas, PVGIS, and PVsyst underscores the viability of solar PV power generation in Patenga. Utilizing advanced software tools, including PVGIS for optimization, the project design aims for maximum efficiency and reliability. By harnessing solar energy, the school endeavors to reduce its carbon footprint, promote green energy adoption, and contribute to climate change mitigation efforts.

“…The solar photovoltaic cells have received special attention during recent times due to their rapid renewability consideration, particularly in international airports because of airport sustainability goals and the high cost of fossil fuel (Sher et al, 2021). Furthermore, solar energy is viewed as being one of the most suitable renewable energy options in India (Kalita et al, 2019).…”

A very significant development in the global airport industry in recent times has been the introduction and use of green renewable energy systems, such as solar and wind powered hybrid systems. Airports are very energy intensive and have a significant carbon footprint. Thus, the use of renewable green energy is enabling airports to reduce their carbon footprint thereby mitigating their environmental impact. Using an in-depth instrumental case study research design, this study has examined the use of renewable green energy systems by Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport and Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. The case study revealed that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has entirely switched to green sources for its energy consumption needs, thereby making it one of India’s 100 per cent sustainable airports. In April 2022, Mumbai Airport enhanced its usage of green energy when it deployed a 10Kwp Hybrid SolarMill consisting of 2Kwp TurboMill (three Savonious vertical axis type wind turbine (VAWT) and 8Kwp Solar PV modules. The new system has enabled Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport to reduce its carbon footprint as the new system will reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 120,000 tonnes per year. In 2022, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi Airport became the first airport in India to be powered entirely by hydro and solar energy sources. This energy-related measure is one of the airport’s key actions to realize its 2030 objective of being a Net Zero Carbon Emission Airport. By moving to renewable sources for its energy requirements, the airport is expected to reduce its carbon footprint by around 200,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per annum. The use of green energy sources has helped the airports to mitigate the harmful environmental impact from the use of fossil-based fuels.
