This paper presents the study of an optimization technique that is developed to locate the optimal location and the size (power rating) of Distributed Generation (DG) for its installation to a distribution system. In this study, a new technique called Exponential Inertia Weight Particle Swarm Optimization is proposed where a new exponential driver is introduced in standard Particle Swarm Optimization...
This paper presents the findings of a field pilot study to investigate the critical factors that affect retrofitted roof-mounted photovoltaic (PV) arrays in terms of their contributions to the operating cell temperature in Malaysian climate. The critical factors investigated in this study are the mounting roof materials, mounting heights, solar radiation levels and types of PV modules. As with all...
This paper presents the study of an optimization technique that is developed to locate the optimal location and the size (power rating) of Distributed Generation (DG) for its installation to a distribution system. The type of the chosen DG is photovoltaic (PV). In this study, the author proposes the new technique called Swarm Evolutionary (SEP) technique where the concept of applying and substituting...
This paper presents an intelligent-based sizing algorithm for the design of grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system using artificial immune system (AIS). AIS had been used to select the optimal PV module and inverter from pre-developed PV module and inverter database such that the expected technical performance of the design could be optimized. The AIS had outperformed the genetic algorithm (GA)...
This paper presents an intelligent-based sizing algorithm for the design of grid-connected photovoltaic system using evolutionary programming. Evolutionary programming had been used to select the optimal PV module and inverter from pre-developed databases such that the expected technical performance of the design could be maximized. The proposed algorithm, known as evolutionary programming-based sizing...
This paper presents the performance of a 6.08 kWp grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system installed at Malaysian Energy Centre (PTM), Bangi, Malaysia. The site is located at the latitude of approximately 2.96°N and longitude of 101.75°E. The system was commissioned on 14th June 2007 and the system performance has been monitored since 15th Jan 2008. The system comprises 6.08 kWp of PV array and a 4...
