[IEEE 2018 North American Power Symposium (NAPS) - Fargo, ND, USA (2018.9.9-2018.9.11)] 2018 North American Power Symposium (NAPS) - Effect of Solar PV Penetration on Residential Energy Consumption Pattern
摘要: The residential rooftop solar penetration in the U.S. has increased rapidly over the past few years. This increase, if not properly accounted for, can lead to operational and reliability challenges for the electric power industry in the form of under-utilization of available energy, increase in costs, and reduction in environmental benefits, as demonstrated by the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) Duck Curve. The authors of this paper had previously developed a bottom-up approach for computing season-wise household-level residential energy consumption profiles using a synthetic population resource. In this paper, that model is enhanced to account for the effects that increasing percentages of rooftop solar penetration can have on the residential energy demand profiles of different regions. This information will be very useful to electric power utilities because it will help them efficiently manage the increasing numbers of residential rooftop solar installations in their supply areas.

Photovoltaic panel integrated with phase change materials (PV-PCM): technology overview and materials selection
摘要: In recent years, the utilization of phase change materials (PCMs) in photovoltaic (PV) module for thermal regulation has attracted wide attention in this field, as the hybrid PV-PCM technology can not only achieve higher photoelectric conversion efficiency but also make it possible to extract thermal energy stored in PCMs for cascade utilization. Although substantial research has been carried out on PV-PCM systems, the promise of practical application is still far from clear with some barriers unsolved, such as PCMs which need further improvements in both technical and economical view. In this paper, a comprehensive literature review of the state-of-the-art aspects of PV-PCM systems is presented, with the focus on technology overview and materials selection. The concept of hybrid PV-PCM system is first discussed with its general configuration and energy balance, to figure out the key factors affecting its performance. Besides, the development route of PV-PCM research is outlined through a comprehensive review of 104 research articles during 2004–2018, clarifying the representative achievements and existing problems in each stage. Furthermore, PCMs are highlighted in this paper with details on their classification, properties, and application in previous PV-PCM research. In particular a triangle about materials selection criteria and determination strategy of phase transition temperature is proposed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of future research on PV-PCM systems are raised, advocating that more attention should be addressed on new strategies to overcome the existing problems such as insufficient reliability and economic feasibility.

Experimental study conducted for the identification of best heat absorption and dissipation methodology in solar photovoltaic panel
摘要: The solar PV technology has become a significant alternative for conventional fossil fuel resources. The recent researches are focusing on techniques to increase the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to address the growing needs of the global electricity demand. Maintaining the PV panel temperature according to the specified standard helps in harnessing the optimal power output consistently. Although there are various PV panel cooling techniques available in the existing literature, there is always a huge expectation among the energy sectors in terms of rising the efficiency value, as well as lowering the cost of investment. In this aspect, the proposed method provides the best solution by improving the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic panel by regulating the temperature using a material called as the Phase Change Material which is entrenched with an external finned heat sink to improve the thermal conductivity of the material PCM. In this work, the concept is investigated by an experimental setup under direct sun rays in the natural environmental conditions for four different cases (Case A, Case B, Case C, and Case D). The concept of temperature regulation is recorded through FLIR thermal imaging camera and the observations are presented. After thorough experimental investigations of all the four cases, it is found that PCM entrenched with heatsink (Case D) can certainly be an efficient approach to drop the operating temperature of the PV panel with lowest cost and enhance the efficiency of the PV panel to the maximum extent.

Analysis of Field Degradation Rates Observed in All-India Survey of Photovoltaic Module Reliability 2018
摘要: The analysis of performance degradation in photovoltaic (PV) modules with c-Si technologies as observed in the All-India Survey of PV Module Reliability 2018 is presented in this article. The degradation rates are correlated with the module age, system size, mounting configuration, and climate of deployment. Key failure modes responsible for the higher degradation rates seen in certain sites are identified using visual, infrared, and electroluminescence imaging. Potential-induced degradation is found to be the key mechanism responsible for higher degradation rates seen in Young sites. Also, deployment in hot climates and rooftops is seen to accelerate degradation. Multipoint analysis of degradation rates is presented at sites inspected in prior All-India Surveys.

Extended Reactive Power Exchange With Faulty cells in Grid tied Cascaded H-Bridge converter for Solar PhotoVoltaic Application
摘要: Fault tolerant operation is a key feature of grid tied PV fed Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) converter, where the converter operates continuously with faulty bypassed cells. After bypassing the faulty cells, the number of healthy cells decreases, the available dc link voltage reduces and active power among the phases become unequal. As a result, the converter produces unbalanced and distorted grid currents. Moreover, the maximum reactive power exchanged with the grid gets reduced with the available DC link voltage. This paper injection proposes a novel zero sequence voltage technique for balancing the grid currents and preventing over modulation in each cell of the converter. The proposed technique extends the reactive power capability of the converter during post fault condition. Additionally, it also helps in equal active and reactive power flow in each phase of the converter. A new PWM clamping strategy is proposed in this paper to implement the zero sequence voltage addition in the converter. The proposed concept is verified through computer simulation and experimental results.

Systematic Analysis and Design of Water Networks With Solar Photovoltaic Energy
摘要: The methodology presented in this article tries to make a water-energy auditing so as to design the same water network characteristics but being supplied by photovoltaic (PV). We identify which data would be required to define the most effective process to follow in order to reach better water and energy consumption efficiency rates. An analytical approach that deals with the optimal sizing of a solar pumping system in direct current microgrid is proposed. This means the combination among a solar PVs system, a storage system, and a converter system that deals with the energy harvesting and charging the batteries used for supporting the pumping water system. The methodology has been validated by two real pumping systems of Zarautz distribution network (Basque Country region). It has been modeled and tested under four scenarios. The results of the simulations carried out have clearly demonstrated both the feasibility and the savings achieved, in terms of the environmental and economic assessment. This will help the water distribution managers to take more informed decisions and design cost-effective strategies while contributing with more sustainable cities.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC) - Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia (2018.10.7-2018.10.10)] 2018 IEEE PES Asia-Pacific Power and Energy Engineering Conference (APPEEC) - A New Five-Level Inverter Topology with Voltage Controller for Grid-Connected PV System
摘要: Photovoltaic (PV) systems are growing in demand due to the recent drop in prices of the solid state components. However, the quality of the output of the PV systems are still lacking behind and this is a major problem while connecting the system to the grid. Inverters being the brains of a solar PV system need to be made smarter and better. Multi-level inverters are one of the most popular types of inverters for grid-connected PV systems due to the higher quality output they can produce than other inverters. One of the key features they provide is the minimization of total harmonic distortion (THD) and electromagnetic interference which tackles leakage current issue. So, in this paper a new five-level inverter topology for grid-tie PV is proposed which is controlled using a new voltage controller that ensures higher efficiency while enhancing the stability of the system. The suggested closed loop voltage controller method additionally provides the ability to provide constant or adjustable voltage to the grid. In this proposed topology the voltage controller enables the PV system to provide high quality power to the grid which is vastly important. To validate the accuracy of the theoretical analysis, the control technique was applied to the existing multi-level inverter topology and then has been simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software. Moreover the five-level output provides a much better output and better PF then other existing topologies.
