1. Distinguish between PV Module and PV Cell.
PV Cell
PV Module
2. What is the operating life time of a PV Module?
30-35 years
3. Why PV module always generates DC power?
4. Which device is used to convert the DC power in to AC Power?
A practical switch is operating at a switching frequency of 100 kHz and a 0.5 duty cycle.
The switch is initially on (the first half cycle). The switch has the following parameters:
Von = 0.1 V
Volt
80 V
Ion - 100 A
10.1 A
ton = 0
Loft O
Ldelay O
a) Draw clear voltage and current waveforms for one switching cycle with all values
shown (times, voltages, currents, etc.).
b) Find the average power loss in one switching cycle.
