Advantages And Disadvantages Of Multilevel Inverter

Fig. 9(a) shows the DC-link voltage across the DC-link capacitor of the PV array. The DC-link reference voltage corresponds to maximum power point of the PV array. Fig. 9(b) shows the power demand by the load, and power flows from the grid and PV system generated power. As the PV system generated power could not meet complete power demand of load, remainining power is supplied by the grid. At 1secocond the PV system switched from partially shaded condition to uniform solar insolation. Thus, at this point power supplied by the inverter and grid also varies. Fig. 10(a) shows the grid current which is fully sinusoidal. Fig. 10(b) shows the inverter output current. Fig. 11 shows the performance of system under reactive load condition. In this study, a 500VA reactive load is considered. The figure shows the complete reactive power is supplied by the inverter. Thus the power factor of the system is maintained nearly at

A solar photovoltaic power system is a technology that converts the energy from sunlight into electrical energy. Residential solar photovoltaic systems can offset much of a household's power needs, depending on the size of the system and the household's needs. The output power from is directly proportional to power received from the sun, which varies throughout the day and year. The rated maximum output of the module might be achieved only occasionally, depending on actual site conditions. It is a renewable source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible. Solar energy is also a non-polluting source of energy that doesn’t emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.

Commonly, renewable energy is defined as energy which is able to be captured from existing natural resources that are replenished rapidly, such as flowing water, sunshine, wind, geothermal heat flows and ocean [2]. Renewable energy technologies are required to provide technologies to use one or several renewable energy resources. There are some different types of renewable energy technologies, which include solar energy, bioenergy, hydropower, wind energy, geothermal energy and tidal energy. This thesis project will focus on the solar photovoltaic which is currently one of types of solar energy technologies, and this technology using photovoltaic cells to converts sunlight directly into electricity.Solar photovoltaic system can generate electricity from sunlight through using PV modules, and the system can be integrated into building designs, installed on rooftops, or large scale power plant. With the development of photovoltaic technologies, solar photovoltaic capacity has been increased from 3.7 GW (2004) to 177GW (2014) [3]. Figure 2 shows this change from 2004 to 2014, there is a big trend of increase in these years. The increase of PV capacity can reduce the carbon emission and provides more job opportunities. It also helps to reduce air pollution and make a friendly environment for living. One of the common PV system is

The innovative inverter technology produces safe, smooth power, protecting your sensitive electronics (computers, smartphones, etc.) from damage.

Various control algorithms have been proposed for inverter control; among them droop based control are most popular as it can facilitate high reliability and avoid complexity of a supervisory control system [6 - 12]. It also has coordination capability among various power rating units together with higher level of flexibility. The droop based power control is valid for the both high voltage (HV) transmission line and low voltage (LV) distribution line.

As the population is constantly increasing the demand for energy is skyrocketing, resources are diminishing, and pollution is intensifying. Embracing a renewable energy system is essential. Homeowners can embrace a on the grid solar photovoltaic system that will diminish the environmental footprint, and decrease the waste of energy. There are some obstacles to become energy independent, however the payoff will benefit in preserving the environment, societies, and future generations

Modren HVDC systems are having many advantages than HVAC sytems. Two AC systems are connected using a new VSC-MMC based Hybrid HVDC system in this paper which gives many advantages than the conventional HVDC systems and LCC-VSC Hybrid systems. The proposed system gives the fast dynamic response by using different control stratagies. The active and reactive power is controlled and the dc line voltage is maintained constant at inverter station. Under steady state and transient conditions the system performance is investigated by MATLAB simulations. The results show the feasibility of the hybrid system.

A background and description of new solar power generation components are needed to explain how solar energy is more economical, efficient, and cleaner (non-carbon) than most other forms of energy. There are two types of technology for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal that condense or magnify sunlight. The most widely deployed solar electric technology in the world is photovoltaics (PV), another name for solar cells, that basically collect sunlight to create a direct current (DC) electric field. An inverter box converts this DC to

Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly by the sun. The sun creates its energy through a thermonuclear process that converts about 650,000,000 tons of hydrogen to helium every second. The process creates heat and electromagnetic radiation. The heat remains in the sun and is instrumental in maintaining the thermonuclear reaction. The electromagnetic radiation (including visible light, infra-red light, and ultra-violet radiation) streams out into space in all directions. It is a clean inexhaustible, abundantly and universally available source of renewable energy. The major drawbacks of solar energy

The ability to generate electricity from sunlight is a relatively new and exciting technology that offers many new opportunities in generating ‘green’ electricity. This technology is called solar photovoltaics or more simply, PV. PV offers the ability to generate electricity in a clean, quiet and renewable way. It makes use of the abundant energy from the sun, to generate electricity without the production of

Summary: At present, most distributed renewable energy systems produce direct current (DC) electricity which is then inverted to alternating current (AC) and fed into the electric grid. Simultaneously, many modern building loads and storage systems use rectifiers to convert AC grid electricity to DC for use at the load or battery. Onsite use of renewable energy production therefore requires two energy conversions: DC/AC at the point of generation and AC/DC at the load. The Bosch DC Building Scale Microgrid Platform (DCBMP) offers significant benefits relative to conventional AC grid systems by distributing as much solar power as possible to DC loads/storage, and then inverting only the excess power to AC for AC loads and export to the grid. The DCBMP maximizes the utilization of solar energy on-site, smooths the volatility of the PV output, increases the load and storage efficiencies and minimizes dependence on grid-based electricity. The proposal incorporates long-life (20-25 years), commercially ready technology, increasing energy efficiency and improving energy security. These features are provided at a low up-front investment when compared to conventional AC-based systems, enabling a levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) less than $0.14/kWh by 2020 for behind-the-meter PV and storage systems and a lower total cost of ownership for the DC loads and DC resources as compared to other approaches, while providing export power to the utility grid through smart inverter
