Among all the available renewable energy sources, solar energy is the most abundant and is an inexhaustible source of clean energy. Moreover, photovoltaic (PV) module technology has been widely used in modern industry to directly convert solar energy into electricity to meet people's demands. The photovoltaic (PV) industry and solar cell panel installation capacity are rapidly expanding in Taiwan...
Buildings of commercial and non commercial purpose consume large amount of electricity. Therefore to design a green or smart city the biggest challenge for a designer is to convert all buildings from energy consumer to energy producer. Recent study reveals that most of the designer prefer solar energy for smart city development because it can be housed in a limited space and is characterized as pollution...
Due to the effects of the dramatic reduction of government incentives, investments in the field of PV electricity production decreased. It is necessary to rethink the funding techniques, extending the analysis also to the different cultural and financial models. In this paper, we will study the incentive-dependency of a ground-mounted PV system in order to reach the grid parity at the state-of-the-art...
Pakistan is swiftly growing household electricity consumption country. There is approximately 9% increase in domestic consumption while the country is presently facing energy shortfalls. There is a need of considering energy mix due to increase in fossil energy prices, increased energy demand and unstable supply of electricity. Pakistan has great potential for solar renewable energy. Daily average...
In this paper, the installation of distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems, from conceptualization to distribution system grid connection, is explained along with various methods of electrical connectivity with the distribution grid and integration of solar power plant to the utility grid. This paper is based on the experience of the Oshawa Power and Utilities Corporation in these areas.
By applying new technologies of energy and DC distribution technology, the smart-grid based digital load device is increased. Due to the power conversion technology, the power consumption is minimized, maximize the utilization of self-development self-energy power consumption. Derive optimum efficiency power structure, and at the same time, the existing AC system with high quality bi-directional AC-DC...
To deal with the energy crisis, alternative energy has been widely used to replace fuel sources. Solar power is a safe, clean and renewable energy, among all the solar technologies, photovoltaics is the most promising technology which can convert solar energy into electricity. It is becoming increasingly popular and applied to many areas of life. One of the most important applications is building...
The main objective of this project is to design a comprehensive tool that performs technical and economical analysis for building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV). This tool will be used to propose a BIPV villa design for the UAE real-state market. MATLAB-based tool was designed to perform a full technical and economical analysis for grid-tied PV systems. The designed tool carries out number of consecutive...
