This work aims to analyze the performance of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system installed in the Saharan area of south Algeria (Adrar) in four different days, each one from different season of the year 2015. The results showed that temperature and irradiance play important role in system performance; the performance ratio and the system efficiency depend heavily on the temperature and drop from...
In this work we present a detailed description of a 6 kWp photovoltaic power plant installed in the roof of the Faculty of Science and Technology Beni Mellal (Center of Morocco). This plant is grid connected and contributes to reducing the burden of electricity consumption within the faculty. In addition, it consists of three silicon technologies. The results of the plant during the four seasons of...
Building is responsible for more than 40 percent of energy consumption and one third of greenhouse gas emissions. Europe has stablished the path towards nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB), soon required in every new construction and large renovation in existing buildings by 2020. Achieving nZEB required the use of photovoltaic modules for generating electricity. In Vietnam, photovoltaic systems are...

The power converter used includes a three-phase ac-dc active rectifier. The power stage selected allows to minimize the harmonic current content...
Performance of photovoltaic systems greatly depends on climate conditions. Apart from values of solar radiation, its variations can also have an influence on energy yield from a PV-system. In less favourable climate conditions (e.g. in central Europe), highly varying radiation is very frequent and the electrical converters (i.e. inverters, DC-DC converters) should be able to follow the irradiance...
We describe four different photovoltaic (PV) systems that are deployed around Tucson Arizona on geomembranes to test the feasibility of converting mine tailings and landfills into solar energy generating sites. Differences between these deployed systems include: two types of geomembrane materials, two different module anatomies, and two different locations. We explain the different module mounting...
This paper analyzes a method of three-phase probabilistic power flow in unbalanced radial distribution system with single-phase and three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems using sequential Monte Carlo techniques. The output power of grid-connected PV system is simulated for each hour, considering the solar irradiance with random variation of weather, the effect of shadow, the conversion...
Standard Test Conditions(STC) are widely used as PV measurement standard for the PV manufacturers to define the technical characteristics of solar PV modules in their laboratory and for the PV system designers and installers to compare different PV modules under the same testing conditions, e.g. solar irradiance(1000W/m2), cell temperature at 25°C and Air mass(AM) 1.5. However, the actual performance...
Solar global irradiance received at a horizontal level on the earth varies significantly over short intervals due to diffuse radiation changes. Experimental data on global irradiance profiles received by fast data recording systems show that the global irradiance may be enhanced for a few minute periods by as much as 40%. The diffuse radiation is intensified by dry air mass formations, airborne nanoparticles,...
Accurate prediction of photovoltaic (PV) module temperature is needed to understand the expected electrical performance, lifetime, and reliability of photovoltaic cells. A photovoltaic AC module (PVAC) integrated the inverter directly with the PV module which exposes the power electronic circuitry to the thermal environment of the PV module. This has been reported to impose additional requirements...
Photovoltaic systems are typically optimised for performance or cost.

After an overview for kinds of power architectures in grid-connected PV system, multi-string configuration attracts us most attention for its best compromise between...
The performance of a grid-connected PV inverter maximum power point (MPP) tracker would usually depend on the characteristics of the PV arrays. This in turn is typically indicated by the parameter known as fill factor (FF). The FF varies, depending on the array type. The typical maximum power point tracking (MPPT) dynamic tests conducted usually involve programming of the solar array simulator in...
