Graduation Thesis on Solar Power Generation

Are time-varying solar irradiances and loads considered in the thesis?

Both time-varying solar irradiances and loads are considered in the thesis. All simulations are under the same coding environment on a desktop computer with a system frequency 100 Hz and D = 0.002. The studied stand-alone PV generation system is shown in Fig. 2.1 and a Simulink model of the studied PV generation system is shown in Fig. 2.10.

Is integrated PV generation a new stable PV power generation technique?

By adopting characteristics of the superC, an integrated PV generation system is proposed as a new stable PV power generation technique in the thesis. Compared the PV generation system with the integrated PV generation system under the steady state, they have same responses.

What is the output power of integrated PV generation system?

When the proposed integrated PV generation system is adopted to generate electricity, the output power of the PV array follows the operating states for solar irradiance S or the load R. In addition, the output power of the proposed integrated PV generation system smoothly varies because of the function of the superC.

What is a stable PV power generation technique?

Finally, a stable PV power generation technique for PV generation systems is proposed which is a novel MPPC technique applied to the PV generation system integrated with a supercapacitor (superC). As a result, the uncontrollable PV power source becomes more controllable which reduces compensatory requirements.

How does solar radiation affect the output power of solar panels?

Speci cally, the solar radiation is dependent on the environmental conditions, e.g., clouds, dust, rain, etc. Therefore, the output power of PV panels always varies with the changing solar radiation. If a PV generation system is required to generate a controllable output power, compensatory power sources must be combined with it.

How to maximize PV plant generation?

It is possible to maximize the PV plant generation by installing solar trackers. With a tracking system the panels follow the Sun optimizing the angle at which the cells receive the radiation.
