This project in focusing on the research of MPPT control in Photovoltaic (PV) Grid Power Generation. The Photovoltaic (PV) Grid Power is very useful and environment-friendly power. Comparing with gas or coal, which are limited in the earth, photovolta . . .

For many people who live in rural areas of Southeast Asia, such as Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, access to electric power is either too expensive or it is unavailable. This unfortunate condition may be greatly mitigated, however, by the deployment of in . . .

In today’s world, due to the growing demands of technology and rise in population, there has been a tremendous pressure on the electricity demands. So far fossil fuels have been used to meet the demands, but since fossil fuels are finite and are getti . . .

In recent years, the demand for air conditioning systems due to the demand of higher comfort conditions has led to a significant increase for primary energy resources such as solar energy for cooling. Solar cooling (SC) is getting more and more readil . . .

Solar PV systems are increasingly welcome by US households, especially in California where the solar resources are abundant. Residential PV systems are known to lower the electricity bills for families. However, they can also have negative impacts on . . .

Some amorphous silicon (a-Si) photovoltaic (PV) manufacturers claim that their power ratings at standard test conditions (STC) understate the performance of their modules because of a-Si technology’s ability to achieve 10-15% higher energy yield per r . . .

This thesis reports on the long-term performance and compares two system arrangements of the Schatz Solar Hydrogen Project (SSHP), an off-grid solar hydrogen research project with twenty years of history. The SSHP is designed to continuously power a 5 . . .

In this study I investigate the accuracy and necessity of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) PV integration tariff, which was instituted in 2011. Note that, as of July 2012, BPA has not yet been responsible for integrating any PV generators ont . . .

Turbulence seeing profiles are an extremely important factor when considering an astronomical site. Since observations made with ground-based telescopes suffer from turbulence perturbations, which seriously degrade the image quality, adaptive optics a . . .

The generation of power at the point of consumption is referred to as DG. It can be any source with a generation capacity of 10MW or less. With increase in concerns for protection of the environment from the pollution caused by thermal plants etc., th . . .
