Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
Let’s take a look at three different types of solar photovoltaic systems. A grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system, otherwise called a utility-interactive PV system, converts solar energy into AC power. The solar irradiation falling on the solar panels generates photovoltaic energy, which is DC in nature.
Solar systems integration involves developing technologies and tools that allow solar energy onto the electricity grid, while maintaining grid reliability, security, and efficiency. For most of the past 100 years, electrical grids involved large-scale, centralized energy generation located far from consumers.
A basic photovoltaic system integrated with utility grid is shown in Fig. 2. The PV array converts the solar energy to dc power, which is directly dependent on insolation. Blocking diode facilitates the array generated power to flow only towards the power conditioner.
A novel grid connection interface for utility-scale PV power plants based on the modular multi-level converter (MMC) is explored. The grid connection interface is a DC boost interface by nature. It adopts the multistring topology, employs DC/DC boost converters, utilises a centralised MMC, and integrates an energy storage system.
A solar photovoltaic system is a renewable energy technology that has the complete setup required to harness solar energy as electricity. These systems can be on-grid systems, where the solar energy is converted into AC power to integrate into the grid, or they can be standalone or off-grid AC or DC power systems.
