This leads to the lower system inertia and the higher generator reactance, and hence the generator transient stability may negatively be affected. In particular, the impact on the transient stability may become more serious when the considerable amounts of PV systems are disconnected simultaneously during voltage sag. In this work, the generator transient stability in the power system with significant PV penetration is assessed by a numerical simulation. In order to assess the impact from various angles, simulation parameters such as levels of PV penetration, variety of power sources (inverter or rotational machine), and existence of LVRT capability are considered. The simulation is performed by using PSCAD/EMTDC software.展开更多

In recent years, versatile light-trapping measures via structures have been intensively explored to optimize photovoltaic performance. In this work, a unique rubbing technique is demonstrated to create nanoscale grooves on the PEDOT:PSS [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate)] surface and the grating-like features are 500 nm wide and 10 nm deep. The PEDOT:PSS film with grooved surface is used as buffer layers for OPV cell devices based on a P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction. The patterned surface has a profound effect on carrier mobility, light trapping, and hole collection efficiency, leading to an increase in the short circuit density, filling factor, and power conversion efficiency. These results indicate the feasibility of the rubbing method can be applicable to high-efficiency OPV cells.展开更多

For this purpose clearness index is modeled as a stochastic signal. The parameters of clearness index stochastic signal are chosen to fit values of daily mean insolation for each month for the location of Zagreb, Croatia. Complete model has been done in MATLAB. This model can be used for Monte Carlo simulations of technical solar systems such as photovoltaic systems or solar thermal energy systems.展开更多
