Distributed Renewable Energy Sources (DRESs) are increasing rapidly in distribution grids, and their integration into the electricity system is one of the most relevant problems facing these networks. The objective of our project, IntegratinG Renewables in the EuropEaN electricity Grid (IGREENG rid), was to analyze and select the most promising research and development (R&D) solutions to this...
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are used to maintain the photovoltaic (PV) panel operating point near its maximum power point (MPP). In general, the location of the MPP on the V-I plane is not known, but it can be reached, either through a-priori knowledge or by search algorithms. Lots of tracking algorithms have been presented in literature, and in the last years the focus has been...
Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are essential to optimize the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panels in every working condition. Many techniques have been presented in literature, and the most common are the perturb and observe (P&O) and the incremental conductance (INC) methods. Their parameters result from a trade-off between steady state accuracy and dynamic performance...
Nowadays the world energy infrastructure is subjected to a progressive transformation. In fact it is already possible to notice the growing number of distributed small generation units, based on different technologies, directly connected to the power grid. At present the energy that can be produced by the sun and wind seem to be the most promising renewable energy sources. The use of the solar energy...
The growing number of installed photovoltaic plants is making the possibility of simulating their behavior and effects on the power network more and more relevant. In this context an accurate yet simple model of the panels is necessary for the evaluation of the power production as well as of the system efficiency in off-line and on-line simulation. In the preliminary stages of large plant design,...
