Abstract. To configure a photovoltaic solar energy production plant the circumstances of a site play an important role. A site usually consists a number of specific locations that can be considered ideal (no shadow, perfect southward position, optimal vertical angle). However, much more often locations in a site are not ideal, to an extent that both depends on time of the year and time of the day. An important issue for decision making then is how much loss in efficiency a specific location will entail. In this paper this is analysed by an agent-based simulation method. Here photovoltaic modules with microinverters are conceptualised as autonomous energy producing agents, which are monitored by a central monitoring agent which also interacts with a user via a local and a global Web-based interface agent. The presented approach provides an analysis of the different locations at a site by simulating the agents over one full year with time steps of half an hour per day. The outcome of such a simulation provides an overview of the loss of efficiency for each of the locations depending on its characteristics with respect to shadow, orientation and vertical angle.

Abstract. This work studies the impact of the photovoltaic installation in a rural village of the Pyrenean region of Spain. Based on real data of electricity consumption a PV generation system has been designed and its effect in the distribution power losses and the voltage profile are analysed. As a second step, a storage system has been added to the PV system and the optimal dimension of the hybrid system has been calculated in order to reduce the peak value of the demanded power.

“…For a lightning discharge, the resulting large current and/or voltage fluctuations can temporarily disrupt or permanently damage parts or components of the power supply chain [5][6][7]. The most common scenario is a direct or indirect strike on exposed transmission cables, with the consequence of switchgears and relays tripping.…”
