The article details the data obtained from monitoring the photovoltaic (PV) system in 2021-2023, equipped with a module for measuring basic weather parameters. The PV system under consideration, with a peak output of 3.2 kWp, is connected to the electricity grid and is mounted on the flat roof of the building. The annual relative yields of the generated energy were about 10% less than estimated, and their monthly distributions were asymmetric. In the "summer" months (i.e., from April to September), the PV system generated, on average, about 75% of the whole year’s energy. The histograms of the PV system's active power output showed that, on average, about 40% of the time, the PV inverter operated in underloaded mode. For selected weather conditions measured on site, a regression analysis was conducted with the active output power of the PV system. The main objective of the work was to develop a comprehensive method for analysing PV plant monitoring data and the impact of weather conditions on its performance. The proposed method was realized as a case study for central Poland but can be implemented anywhere.

Due to its potential in the industrial sector, photovoltaic energy transmission has posed a fascinating challenge in recent decades. The utilisation of line transformers, which have a variety of problems including substantial voltage dips, expensive installation costs, and higher load losses, is one of the most urgent difficulties with such a system. This paper provides an alternate method based on a high-gain DC/DC interleaved boost converter with a low input voltage, a high input current, and an output voltage that is more than three times that of the typical boost converter. The input current is split over the three phases of the interleaved converter; as a result, the current stress on the circuit and the semiconductor devices is decreased, which adds to a decrease in total losses. In addition, the voltage stress is minimised compared to the interleaved converter's high output voltage. Additionally, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) is intended to guarantee that the PV system performs at peak efficiency. Lastly, simulation studies using the MATLAB Simulink environment are shown to demonstrate the efficacy of the suggested architecture.

Ze względu na swój potencjał w sektorze przemysłowym fotowoltaiczna transmisja energii stanowiła fascynujące wyzwanie w ostatnich dziesięcioleciach. Wykorzystanie transformatorów liniowych, z którymi wiąże się wiele problemów, w tym znaczne spadki napięcia, wysokie koszty instalacji i większe straty obciążenia, jest jedną z najpilniejszych trudności związanych z takim systemem. W tym artykule przedstawiono alternatywną metodę opartą na przetwornicy podwyższającej napięcie DC/DC z przeplotem o wysokim wzmocnieniu, przy niskim napięciu wejściowym, wysokim prądzie wejściowym i napięciu wyjściowym, które jest ponad trzykrotnie większe niż w przypadku typowej przetwornicy podwyższającej napięcie. Prąd wejściowy jest rozdzielany na trzy fazy konwertera z przeplotem; w rezultacie zmniejsza się obciążenie prądowe obwodu i urządzeń półprzewodnikowych, co przyczynia się do zmniejszenia całkowitych strat. Ponadto napięcie napięciowe jest zminimalizowane w porównaniu z wysokim napięciem wyjściowym konwertera z przeplotem. Dodatkowo kontroler śledzenia punktu mocy maksymalnej (MPPT) oparty na sterowaniu logiką rozmytą (FLC) ma zagwarantować, że system fotowoltaiczny działa z maksymalną wydajnością. Na koniec pokazano, że badania symulacyjne z wykorzystaniem środowiska MATLAB Simulink demonstrują skuteczność sugerowanej architektury.

Ever increasing electricity demand as well as the rapid depletion of fossil fuels have increased the need for hybrid power systems that integrate distributed energy resource (DER) systems; such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and battery storage systems; with electrical grids. Therefore, this present study used MATLAB/Simulink to demonstrate the ability of DER inverters to provide reactive power that regulates grid voltage, decreases the total harmonic distortion (THD), decreases the amount of active power lost, and improves the capacity and power quality of a modified IEEE 13-bus test system. The study found that the injection/Absorption of the reactive power from a 400KW (PV-Battery) system in bus 675, 500KW (PV-Battery) system in bus 671, and 200 KW.h battery storage system in bus 634 decreased the power output of the main generator by 24.6%. When used in situ, the reactive power capability of the DER inverters significantly improved the voltage while an injection of reactive power decreased the THD voltage of bus 675 phase B by 81.26% when absorbing reactive power as well as decreased active power losses.

Stale rosnące zapotrzebowanie na energię elektryczną oraz szybkie wyczerpywanie się paliw kopalnych zwiększyły zapotrzebowanie na hybrydowe systemy zasilania, które integrują systemy rozproszonych źródeł energii (DER); takie jak systemy fotowoltaiczne (PV) i systemy magazynowania baterii; z sieciami elektrycznymi. Dlatego w niniejszym badaniu wykorzystano MATLAB/Simulink do wykazania zdolności falowników DER do dostarczania mocy biernej, która reguluje napięcie sieci, zmniejsza całkowite zniekształcenia harmoniczne (THD), zmniejsza ilość utraconej mocy czynnej oraz poprawia wydajność i jakość mocy zmodyfikowany system testowy IEEE 13-bus. Badanie wykazało, że wtrysk/pobór mocy biernej z systemu 400KW (PV-Battery) w magistrali 675, 500KW (PV-Battery) w magistrali 671 i 200KW.h systemu magazynowania baterii w magistrali 634 zmniejszyło moc moc głównego generatora o 24,6%. W przypadku zastosowania in situ, moc bierna falowników DER znacznie poprawiła napięcie, podczas gdy wprowadzenie mocy biernej zmniejszyło napięcie THD szyny 675 fazy B o 81,26% podczas pochłaniania mocy biernej, a także zmniejszyło straty mocy czynnej.
A Novel Intelligent control of a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) coupled with Photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed in this work. The utilization of a Re-lift Luo converter in conjunction with a Cascaded Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method facilitates the optimization of power extraction from PV sources. UPQC is made up of a series and shunt Active Power Filter (APF), where the former compensates source side voltage quality issues and the latter compensates the load side current quality issues. The PV along with a series and shunt APFs of the UPQC are linked to a common dc-bus and for regulating a dc-bus voltage a fuzzy tuned Adaptive PI controller is employed. Moreover, a harmonics free reference current is generated with the aid of CNN assisted dq theory in case of the shunt APF. The results obtained from MATLAB simulation.

The annual distance travelled was divided in nine categories. Every aspect of this analysis was suitable for Polish market and parameters given by the climate that is connected with geographical location of Poland. It is worth mentioning that one of the key elements is the law for renewable energy, that is the key aspect to economical benefits that come from so called green investments. Energy law was also taken into account during this simulation. All those aspects together summarized to a conclusions that Polish market is not as competitive as other European markets when electric propulsion is present in the system.
The article presents a comparison of the results of simulation by a photovoltaic installation with bifacial modules. The analyzed 20 kWp PV installation was located in the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The article compares how the energy production of installations with bifacial modules changes depending on the angle of inclination, the distance between the rows of modules and the orientation. The results obtained in the study indicate that albedo is an important, but not the only parameter to be considered when designing a farm with bifacial modules.
When it comes to reducing emissions caused by the generation of electricity, among different renewable energy sources, the solar energy gains prominence, due to its geographical availability, simplicity of implementation, and absence of physical moving parts. However, the performance of photovoltaic systems is dependent on environmental conditions. Depending on temperature and solar irradiation, the photovoltaic (PV) system has an operating point where maximum power can be generated. The techniques that are implemented to find this operating point are the so-called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms. Since weather conditions are variable in nature, the output voltage of the PV system needs to be regulated to remain equal to the reference. Most of the existing studies focus either on MPPT or on voltage regulation of the PV system. In this paper, the two-stage PV system is implemented so that both MPPT and voltage regulation are achieved simultaneously. Additionally, an improved version of the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm based on artificial potential fields (APF), called APF-P&O, is presented. According to the results of the simulations carried out in MATLAB/Simulink software, the APF-P&O method is more efficient than the conventional method.
The aim of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce by half the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by marine ships by 2050, and its vision of the fastest total decarbonisation in the maritime shipping industry within the present century, calls for implementation with various means of decarbonisation. The IMO approaches the process of decarbonisation in two phases. Firstly, short-term, compact projects are to be considered, next, more complex, medium- and long-term solutions should be aimed at. The preferred arrangements to be applied are photovoltaic systems. Their performance depends to a high degree on the solar incidence angle. In the case of a ship swinging as a result of its course in relation to the wave and incidence direction, the incidence angle undergoes significant periodic changes with a significant effect on the power generated by the PV panels. As a result, the total amount of energy produced by the PV panels diminishes. The paper presents experimental research results obtained on the stand that allowed the investigation of PV panels in simulated marine conditions. Two characteristic positions of a PV panel’s rotation axis in relation to the solar rays’ incidence direction were investigated. It was proved for both variants that the rolling period and solar incidence angle affected the power generated by the PV panel.

In this study, a theoretical model is presented to investigate the performance of a thermoelectric (TE) radiant cooling system combined with photovoltaic (PV) modules as a power supply in a building with an ambient temperature reaching more than 45◦C. The combined system TE/PV performance is studied under different solar radiation by using the hourly analysis program and photovoltaic system software. The thermal and electric characteristics of TE are theoretically investigated under various supplied voltages using the multi-paradigm programming language and numerical computing environment. Also, a theoretical analysis of heat transfer between the TE radiant cooling system and an occupied zone from the side, and the other side between the TE radiant cooling system and duct zone is presented. The maximum power consumption by TE panels and building cooling load of 130 kW is predicted for May and June. The 145 units of PV panels could provide about 50% of the power required by TE panels. The thermal and electric characteristics of TE panels results show the minimum cold surface temperature of 15◦C at a supplied voltage between 6 V and 7 V, and the maximum hot surface temperature of 62◦C at a supplied voltage of 16 V. The surface temperature difference between supplied current and supplied power increases as supplied voltage increases. At a higher supplied voltage of 16 V, the maximum surface temperature difference between supplied current, and supplied power of 150◦C, 3.2 A, and 48 W, respectively. The cooling capacity increases as supplied voltage increases, at a surface temperature difference of –10◦C and supplied voltage of 16 V, the maximum cooling capacity is founded at about 60 W. As supplied voltage decreases the coefficient of performance increases. The maximum coefficient of performance is about 5 at the surface temperature difference of –10◦C and supplied voltage of 8 V.

Po wybudowaniu i uruchomieniu instalacji PV przyłączanej do sieci elektroenergetycznej często występuje zjawisko odłączania przez falownik od Systemu Elektroenergetycznego. Przyczyna tego zjawiska wynika z braku dopasowania generowanej mocy w układzie PV do możliwości sieci elektroenergetycznej, do której dołączony jest prosument. Projektanci często spełniają oczekiwania inwestora projektując układ PV o wymaganej mocy, możliwej do uzyskania w danych warunkach nasłonecznienia oraz usłonecznienia, bez analizy układu sieci elektroenergetycznej.
Wind and solar radiation are intermittent with stochastic fluctuations, which can influence the stability of operation of the hybrid system in the grid integrated mode of operation. In this research work, a smoothing control method for mitigating output power variations for a grid integrated wind/PV hybrid system using a battery and electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) is investigated. The power fluctuations of the hybrid system are absorbed by a battery and EDLC during wide variations in power generated from the solar and wind system, subsequently, the power supplied to the grid is smoothened. This makes higher penetration and incorporation of renewable energy resources to the utility system possible. The control strategy of the inverter is realized to inject the power to the utility system with the unity power factor and a constant DC bus voltage. Both photovoltaic (PV) and wind systems are controlled for extracting maximum output power. In order to observe the performance of the hybrid system under practical situations in smoothing the output power fluctuations, one-day practical site wind velocity and irradiation data are considered. The dynamic modeling and effectiveness of this control method are verified in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the output power variations of the hybrid wind/PV system can be significantly mitigated using the combination of battery and EDLC based storage systems. The power smoothing controller proposed for the hybrid storage devices is advantageous as compared to the control technique which uses either battery or ultracapacitor used for smoothing the fluctuating power.

This paper presents an advanced control of photovoltaic system with battery storage system and shows the coordination of the studied system in order to enhance solar energy utilization. This study proposes an approach of coordinated and integrated control of solar PV generators with battery storage control in order to maintain active and reactive power (P-Q) control and to provide voltage and frequency (V-f) support to the grid instead of a high load addition. The description of the studied system is based on a battery energy storage system based (lithium-ion technology), a DC-DC bidirectional power converter in order to connect the battery to the DC bus, DC-DC converter, voltage source inverter and finally the load and the micro-grid. Consequently, the main contribution of the proposed control methods lies in the coordination between the different controls methods proposed: battery control at the PV side and V-f/P-Q control algorithm at the inverter side. A simulation using the Matlab/Simulink software has been performed, to confirm that the proposed control model is able to provide voltage and frequency support to the grid and to maintain active and reactive power control instead of a high load addition.

Renewable energy application is gaining a wide acceptance by end users; however, considering the fact that renewable energy is intermittent, variable and cannot be predicted, the need of storage systems is becoming a necessity at both micro and macro levels. Fuel cell technology is one of the most promising storage systems due to the fact that hydrogen has high energy density. This paper presents a design of stand-alone PV-PEMFC hybrid system for a small house under Amman climate. The simulation results show that the optimal size of PV array, fuel cell (PEMFC), inverter, electrolyzer (ELE) and H2 Tank capacity were 10 kW, 1 kW, 5 kW, 6 kW, and 5 kg respectively. Hydrogen proved itself as a low carbon energy source, which is environmental friendly and characterized with high energy content per unit mass. Due to fuel cells technology, hydrogen can be used for inter-season storage.

W artykule wykonano analizę wpływu zastosowania paneli fotowoltaicznych w przykładowym drewnianym budynku zabytkowym. Analiza uwzględnia potencjał redukcji zapotrzebowania budynku na energię pierwotną i energię końcową. Analizując wpływ zastosowania instalacji PV na wskaźnik zapotrzebowania budynku na EK i EP, uwzględniono wariant z bieżącym zużyciem energii elektrycznej produkowanej przez instalacje PV oraz wariant częściowego magazynowania wyprodukowanej energii w sieci elektroenergetycznej. Wykonana analiza doprowadziła do wniosku, że uwzględnienie wpływu magazynowania części energii elektrycznej w sieci, w obliczaniu zapotrzebowania budynku na energię, skutkuje znacznym zmniejszeniem wskaźników EK i EP oraz powoduje, że spełnienie wymagań WT2017 i WT2021 staje się możliwe w przypadku budynków zabytkowych, w których wykonanie termomodernizacji mogłoby skutkować zatraceniem ich wartości zabytkowych.

Installed power of photovoltaics systems in Poland grow systematically. Annual contribution of energy produced from PV systems in Polish power system is still on the low level. Due to irregular and stochastic characteristic of solar radiation distribution during the year in specific weather conditions power supplied by PV system might have impact on operation of electric grid. Such situations occur more often in European countries that developed solar energy sources in their power system. Due to power grid balancing and its stability, prediction of power generation in renewable energy sources become more important. On the other hand development of earth observation techniques give new tool for accurate solar radiation data acquisition and its prediction. Article presents model of energy production of PV system based on data from HelioClim database. HelioClim database stores solar radiation data obtained from Meteosat images received from Eumetsat. It also contains 24 hour solar radiation prediction model. PV system model is validated for historical data and used to predict energy output from a specific system. Received prediction of energy production is compared with real output power of a system.
