This paper proposes an approach for the control and optimization of power flow by integrating Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) to an existing residential photovoltaic system. Optimization of Power flow reduces the dependency for electric power from the grid and control involves determining the source from which residential load will be catered. The system built to achieve the goal is a combination of...
This paper deals with modeling, control and co-simulation of a single-phase single-stage Grid-interactive photovoltaic (PV) system with active filter functions. Single-phase PV systems are the most prevalent in roof-top configurations. In this paper, the modeling of a PV array with maximum power point tracking is performed in MATLAB/Simulink. The developed PV array model may be directly connected...
The photovoltaic industry is growing rapidly. In North America, over the past decade, the number of commercially available products and companies devoting resources to this industry has grown substantially. This past year saw the debut of a number of new technologies and new corporate entrants into the market. Utility-scale project size continues to grow and break records. In 2009 module efficiencies...
The concept of attaching a small complete inverter designed for grid interconnection to each photovoltaic (PV) module of an array has been pursued for about 20 years. National Grid began supporting development of this novel concept in 1992, designating the complete system as an “AC Module” (ACM). Technical success was achieved around ten years ago, but commercial success has been achieved only within...
This paper reports on the modeling and simulation of a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) plant with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) feature and dedicated battery storage. The overall plant comprises the PV module, battery bank, MPPT module, controller, inverter and a resistive load. The load is supplied by both the PV and the battery bank. The fluctuations in the output of the PV module are controlled...
