Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
Photovoltaic systems have long been used in specialized applications as stand-alone installations (island systems). Grid-connected PV systems were first constructed in the 1990s. Nowadays, solar energy for electricity generation is applied on the wide range between small roof-top PV systems and large utility scale solar parks.
Distributed photovoltaic systemsoffer a solution to the demand for electricity and also the margining concern for cleaner and more secure energy alternatives that cannot be depleted. While distributed generation is not a relatively new concept, it still is a rising approaching for providing electricity to the core of the power system.
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.
Grid-connected PV systems were first constructed in the 1990s. Nowadays, solar energy for electricity generation is applied on the wide range between small roof-top PV systems and large utility scale solar parks. In contrast to the modular solar PV, CSP is mostly deployed in large-scale power plants.
For the generation of electricity in far flung area at reasonable price, sizing of the power supply system plays an important role. Photovoltaic systems and some other renewable energy systems are, therefore, an excellent choices in remote areas for low to medium power levels, because of easy scaling of the input power source , .
