“…The advantages of this solar collector are: (1) low cost due to accessibility of polymethyl and evacuated glass tube, (2) the area of receiver solar cells is smaller than modules without concentrator, (3) the module is easy to deploy in large scale at high temperature [1]. Rai et al [9] have investigated the Fresnel lens application for space photovoltaic. The authors proposed the optimum linear Fresnel lens concentrator in terms of concentration ratio.…”

Concentrator photovoltaic modules are a promising technology for highly efficient solar energy conversion. This system presents several advantages due to additional degrees of freedom that has been provided by the spectral separation such as cost and mass reduction, increase in the incident solar flux on PV cells and performances. This paper has proposed a unique photovoltaic solar cell system that consists of semi-Fresnel lens convergent structure and a novel two axis sun tracking module to enhance the efficiency of solar cell by using less cell area and energy losses. The grooves of this lens are calculated according to the refraction and convergent angles of the light easy for perpendicular incidence angle. The update time interval during tracking causes misalignment of the lens' optical axis versus the sunrays. Then an inventive sun-tracking method is introduced to adjust the module so that the incident rays are always perpendicular to the module's surface. As a result, all rays will be refracted with the predetermined angles. This way the focus area is reduced and smaller cells can be used. We also mentioned different module connections in order to provide compensation method during losses, for networks and power systems. Experimental results show that using semi-Fresnel lens, along with the sun-tracking method increases the efficiency of PV panel.

“…In recent years, many different technics have been applied in order to reach the maximum power. The most prevalent technics are perturbation and observation (P&O) algorithm [6,7], Incremental conductance (IC) [8,9], fuzzy logic [10,11] and artificial networks (ANN) [12][13][14]. According to the above mentioned researches, the benefits of perturbation and observation algorithm and incremental conductance are: 1 -low cost implementation, and 2 -simple algorithm.…”

Abstract:The microgrid (MG) technology integrates distributed generations, energy storage elements and loads. In this paper, dynamic performance enhancement of an MG consisting of wind turbine was investigated using permanent magnet synchronous generation (PMSG), photovoltaic (PV), microturbine generation (MTG) systems and flywheel under different circumstances. In order to maximize the output of solar arrays, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique was used by an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS); also, control of turbine output power in high speed winds was achieved using pitch angle control technic by fuzzy logic. For tracking the maximum point, the proposed ANFIS was trained by the optimum values. The simulation results showed that the ANFIS controller of grid-connected mode could easily meet the load demand with less fluctuation around the maximum power point. Moreover, pitch angle controller, which was based on fuzzy logic with wind speed and active power as the inputs, could have faster responses, thereby leading to flatter power curves, enhancement of the dynamic performance of wind turbine and prevention of both frazzle and mechanical damages to PMSG. The thorough wind power generation system, PV system, MTG, flywheel and power electronic converter interface were proposed by using Mat-lab/Simulink.

“…In the meantime, some researchers suggest the use of some soft computing based method such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) [6][7][8][9]. These methods can assure a good performance and can perform well in various atmospheric condition, besides not requiring accurate mathematical modelling.…”
