The global photovoltaic (PV) market has been growing exponentially since almost twenty years. This huge demand for photovoltaic systems has been mainly driven by public subsidies in the form of a variety of national incentive schemes. However, in Countries where successful incentive schemes have been pioneered and are now — as planned — being brought to an end, the PV market is called to the challenge...
Grid parity, where the cost of the kilowatt-hour produced by photovoltaics is less than the price of the kilowatt-hour acquired from the grid, is a recent success that in Italy made photovoltaics competitive even without incentives, and leads the continuing record-breaking growth at the global level of this technology. In this work, we show a sensitivity analysis for the Levelized Cost of Energy in...
This work presents the design and development of an innovative system aimed at detecting, recording and transmitting electrical and climate data from a PV field. Data are to be taken both from the PV modules and from the power conditioning system of a given PV field, through appropriate sensors, to monitor: climate data (irradiance, temperature), electrical quantities (voltage, current, power), performance...
In this work a review of photovoltaic (PV) field simulators and a project for the development of an innovative hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) PV field simulator are presented. The simulator is conceptually designed to be part of a future PV field demonstrator to be realized in the area of Trieste (Italy), which will include measurement facilities, networked PV fields, university laboratories and other...
The world total photovoltaic (PV) installed capacity is growing very quickly, due to both government incentives and increased environmental concerns. This situation calls for the realization of large, grid-connected ldquoindustrialrdquo PV plants, aimed at delivering energy to the grid. However, the cost/kWh of PV energy is still quite high. This paper reports some of the most promising research approaches...
