“…Table 1 presents the global irradiation conditions of various countries together with the electric energy that could be produced by a 1 kW PV system. Environmental factors, such as changes in the temperature and the geographic specific irradiation, affect the output power of a PV system [42]. For PV energy simulations, we used the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS).…”

Solar energy has an increasing role in the global energy mix. The need for flexible storage photovoltaic systems and energy storage in electricity networks is becoming increasingly important as more generating capacity uses solar and wind energy. This paper is a study on the economic questions related to flexible storage photovoltaic systems of household size in 2018. The aim is to clarify whether it is possible in the European Union to achieve a payback of the costs of flexible storage photovoltaic system investments for residential customers considering the technology-specific storage aspects prevalent in 2018. We studied seven different flexible storage photovoltaic investments with different battery technologies in Germany, France, Italy, and Spain because, in Europe, these countries have a prominent role with regard to the spread of photovoltaic technology. These investment alternatives are studied with the help of economic indicators for the different cases of the selected countries. At the end of our paper we come to the conclusion that an investment of a flexible storage photovoltaic (PV) system with Olivine-type-LiFePO 4 , Lithium-Ion, Vented lead-acid battery (OPzS), Sealed lead-acid battery (OPzV), and Aqueous Hybrid Ion (AHI) batteries can have a positive net present value due to the high electricity prices in Germany and in Spain. The most cost-effective technology was the Olivine-type-LiFePO 4 and the Lithium-Ion at the time of the study. We suggest the provision of governmental support and uniform European modifications to the regulatory framework, especially concerning grid fees and tariffs, which would be necessary in the beginning to help to introduce these flexible storage PV systems to the market.

“…The %MML obtained by the experimental work for 400 W array is shown in Figure 14. The experimental %MML for LSS-SP (4 × 10, 5 × 8) and LPB-SP (10 × 4, 8 × 5) configurations are calculated by using Equation (7). Where the value of modules power is used 407.63 W, as used in the simulation and the array output power is used from Table 9 for each array configuration.…”

“…Currently, PV technology is one of the widely used renewable energy technologies that is being motivated by the global scenario of increasing energy demand. In many applications, such as hybrid solar power plants [2], building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems [3][4][5], solar-powered vehicle battery charging systems [6], grid-connected PV systems [7][8][9], solar powered water pumping 2 of 21 systems [10], micro-grid PV systems [11], solar PV arrays are used in different dimensions and configurations according to the system requirements. There are various configurations possible to arrange PV modules in an array such as SP, total cross tied (TCT), bridge-linked (BL) [12], and honey-comb (HC), but most practically used configuration is SP.…”

Performance Comparison of Mismatch Power Loss Minimization Techniques in Series-Parallel PV Array Configurations

The mismatch in current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) modules causes significant power loss in a large PV array, which is known as mismatch power loss (MML). The PV array output power generation can be improved by minimizing MML using different techniques. This paper investigates the performance of different module arrangement techniques to minimize MML both for long series string (LSS) and long parallel branch (LPB) in series-parallel (SP) array configurations at uniform irradiance condition. To investigate the significance of MML LSS-SP configuration with dimensions: 1 × 40, 2 × 20, 4 × 10, 5 × 8 and LPB-SP configuration with dimensions: 40 × 1, 20 × 2, 10 × 4, 8 × 5 were used. A comparative analysis is made to find the effectiveness of MML reduction techniques on PV arrays with three different power ratings. Simulation results show that the PV modules arrangement obtained by the genetic algorithm (GA) and current based arrangement (Im) performed better than the arrangements obtained by all other techniques in terms of PV array output power and MML minimization. The performance of the proposed technique was analyzed for both LSS-SP and LPB-SP array configurations in 400 W, 3400 W, and 9880 W arrays. To substantiate the simulation results experiment was performed using a 400 W PV array in outdoor weather condition and obtained similar results. It was also observed that the percentage of recoverable energy (%RE) obtained by arranging the modules using the GA method was higher than Im based method for both LSS-SP and LPB-SP array configurations. A maximum %RE of 4.159 % was recorded for a 5 × 8 LSS-SP array configuration by applying the GA based MML reduction method.

“…The solar insolation, or the amount of sunlight incident on a surface, is the critical part as it directly affects the power output of the PV unit. This is dependent upon the sunlight's declination angle (θ) of the location (φ) on earth's latitude and the PV unit's tilt angle (ϑ) with reference to the horizon [3,20]. Throughout the year, the declination angle changes, given by Equation (1), between +23.45° to −23.45°, where the nth day of the year, beginning from January 1st, is represented by n. δ = 23.45sin…”

Adoption of Grid-Tie Solar System at Residential Scale

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Traditionally, remote and urban communities worldwide have been supplied electricity almost completely by fossil fuel generators to accommodate for electricity needs. Currently, the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into the current power generation systems can offer attractive economic and environmental merits, including considerable fuel savings and carbon dioxide emission reductions. In relation to sustainability, efficiency and economic feasibility, solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the most promising sources of RESs which is being touted as a leading solution to long-term electrification and development problems in rural and urban parts of Pacific Island Countries (PICs). In this work, a grid-tie PV system is instigated at a residential scale. The idea of this research is not to claim the power output from the PV system but to show the feasibility of a grid-tie system at a residential scale. This will help the PICs, non-profit organisations and the government better share scarce resources towards achieving their energy goals and be in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
