Simulation of large photovoltaic arrays
Solar Energy, 2018Abstract Large photovoltaic arrays are becoming common as the world moves to replace fossil-fuelled electricity generators. As the array size and project cost increase, it becomes increasingly important to know accurately what the array’s performance will be before it is built.

Connection losses in photovoltaic arrays
Solar Energy, 1980Abstract The short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage and connection losses of arrays of solar cells, either for normal or concentrated sunlight are analysed under either series of parallel connection. The parameters of the individual cells are considered as random variables.

Over the past five years, the cost of solar panels has dropped drastically and, in concert, the number of installed modules has risen exponentially. However, solar electricity is still more than twice as expensive as electricity from a natural gas plant. Fortunately, wire array solar cells have emerged as a promising technology for further lowering the

Fault diagnosis in photovoltaic arrays
2015 International Conference on Clean Electrical Power (ICCEP), 2015This paper proposes a simple automatic technique for fault diagnosis in photovoltaic (PV) arrays, based on the analysis of the an omalies observed in the I-V characteristic. Firstly, the I-V characteristic of the PV array is simulated using Matlab/Simscape tool for different faulty conditions; which is experimentally validated by generating different ...

SolarFinder: Automatic Detection of Solar Photovoltaic Arrays
2020 19th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN), 2020Smart cities, utilities, third-parties, and government agencies are having pressure on managing stochastic power generation from distributed rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, such as predicting and reacting to the variations in electric grid. Recently, there is a rising interest to identify solar PV arrays automatically and passively. Traditional

Performance prediction of photovoltaic arrays
2017 52nd International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC), 2017The most important investment decision when it comes to implementing photovoltaic (PV) array(s) either for commercial or private application, is the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) calculation. Whereas LCOE, used as an assessment tool, to calculate the cost effectiveness of energy generation in relation to the return over investment in a prescribed ...

Two basic types of photovoltaic (PV) array simulator have been designed and tested. The first involves the use of a pilot panel and variable light source. It is implemented with analogue circuits. A stability analysis based on Popov's method is presented for this simulator with resistance-inductance (R-L) loads.

Enhanced absorption in silicon nanocone arrays for photovoltaics
Nanotechnology, 2012Silicon nanowire arrays have been shown to demonstrate light trapping properties and promising potential for next-generation photovoltaics. In this paper, we performed systematic and detailed simulation studies on the optical properties of silicon nanocone arrays as compared to nanowires arrays. Nanocone arrays were found to have significantly improved

An Intelligent Fuzzy Method for MPPT of Photovoltaic Arrays
2009 Second International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Design, 2009An intelligent fuzzy method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) systems is presented in this paper. In this method, fuzzy inference process can be finished by an equation with an adaptive factor instead of fuzzy rules lookup table, which saves memory space and accelerates operation process.
