SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

an ever-increasing concern about the environment. The need to generate pollution-free energy has triggered considerable effort toward Renewable Energy Sources (RES). RES are well-known and produce energy without any harm to the environment. Among these RES, solar power systems are the affable solution for electrification. Solar energy is available in nature and has become one of the most promising renewable energy sources due to its inexhaustible availability. Hence, the Photovoltaic system has been increasingly used in the grid. Despite an increase in the usage of PV systems, the major obstacles still faced are due to the high capital cost and low efficiency. Nonlinear I-V characteristics of PV system affecting the operating point. An efficient maximum power point tracking is used to improve the overall performance of the Solar PV power generation system. Hence, the main focus of this book has a detail explanation of the approach based on an improved MPPT algorithm, a High step-up DC-DC converter, and grid synchronization.
