Abstract:The paper presents the design and field test of a distributed solar PV system for industrial application (DGPVi). DGPVi utilizes HyPV (hybrid PV) system which generates solar power for self-consumption in lighting and air conditioning in a production line of a factory when solar energy is available. It does not feed the excess PV power to the grid. HyPV will be switched to grid power supply when solar energy is not available. A 3 kWp DGPVi is installed in a factory for field demonstration. The test results show that the solar PV power generated can be utilized immediately. The solar energy generation efficiency (kWh/day per kWp PV installation) of DGPVi is close to that of grid-tied PV system without self-consumption and battery storage. The yearly return on investment of DGPVi is 2.0% at the present installation cost or 3.3% at further cost-down cost. The payback time will be 14.3 years at the present installation cost or 12.1 years at cost-down cost. The present study verifies the economic feasibility of DGPVi.

“…It also decreases the need for backup generation and the need for energy transport. Residential battery energy storage systems to increase the self-consumption of rooftop solar installations remain economically unfavorable in most of the markets [3]. The recent development of new home battery systems, combined with significant price reductions, has created high expectations in the solar production for the building sector.…”

Net zero energy buildings and positive energy buildings are gaining more and more interest. This paper evaluates the impact of the integration of a battery in a positive energy building used to increase its self-consumption of electricity. Parametric studies are carried out by varying the building envelope characteristics, the power supply system, the climate, the lighting and appliances profiles, the roof tilt angle, the battery size and the electricity tariffs, leading to 3200 cases. The analysis is performed on an annual basis in terms of self-consumption and self-production rate and payback period. It is shown that the battery size leading to the minimum payback period within the input range is comprised between 2.6 and 4.5 kWh. The lowest payback periods, (*7 years), are reached with a well-insulated building envelope, a high lightning and appliance consumption, a low feed-in tariff and a 3.7 kWh battery. Finally, simple correlations (based on the feed-in tariff, the annual electrical consumption and production) to predict the optimal size of battery and the lowest payback period are proposed.

The energy of photovoltaic (PV) IntroductionThe research concentration particularly at how traditional and proposed MPPT methods behave under protean weather circumstance in a digital control environment. Besides, from a solar PV system in order to develop Adequate technology for decisive energy conclusion [2], [7], this research scrutinize typical (MPPT) control strategies applied in solar PV industry, proposes accommodative and for rapid and loyal conclusion of solar PV energy. Power converters are used for fast switching and related to quick and accurate finding of the maximum power output has come by a calculated experimental system is developed by using real-time simulation technology, as experiments in hardware system the conventional and proposed MPPT techniques has build-up to compare and validate in a many practical condition [8][9]. After done 3 rd comparison, evaluation and studied for various types MPPT techniques find out the many advantages, disadvantages and other properties. Thirdly it is going to achieve the making a development for efficient and loyal energy conversion technologies, for various types of converter configuration of a PV System will be find out by doing of some compression and energy extraction will be shown in this treatise, in this treatise after doing the different experiment by different bypass diode schemes we have find out very detailed Intensification and impacts of energy. By using effective bypass diode connection the central converter scheme has quite easy construction point of view and low in cost system to raise PV system in the path of efficiency, sufficiency, infallibility and performance in the comparison with micro-converter based PV systems [9]. After all for next-generation the PV system including energy storage units (ESU) provides flexibleness to operators of distribution scheme by the Evolution of coordinated control system. The main purpose of the control of hybrid PV system and energy repository unit is to supply the craved active and reactive generation of power to grid and simultaneously the stability of the dc-link voltage level of the PV system and energy repository system to be preserved by using coordinated control of power electronic converters. This treatise scrutinizes Ternary different combined control arrangement and path for grid integration of PV modules, battery repository and super capacitor (SC) [1], [5], following research article describes the mathematical modeling of generation of green energy using PV Array module as earlier modeling of piezoelectric crystal has been done by the author containing optimization of energy output in piezoelectricity generating unit and its electrical equivalent [6], [11].
