Under the control of system intellectual controller,the power produced by PV from sunlight will charge the parking EV car prior to charging the storage battery,charging the storage battery prior to grid power,grid power at last,and charge the EV by utility grid when it is a cloudy or rainy day.

Valuation and Determination of Seven and Five Parameters of Photovoltaic Generator by Iterative Method

The mathematical modeling of solar cells is essential for any optimization operation of the efficiency or the diagnosis of photovoltaic generator. The photovoltaic module is generally represented by an equivalent circuit whose parameters are experimentally calculated by using the characteristic current-tension, I-V. The precise determination of these parameters stays a challenge for the researchers, making to a big difference in the models and the digital methods dedicated to their characterizations. In the present paper, We are interested to characterize the parameters of single diode and two diodes models, in order to plan the behavior of the photovoltaic generator under real functioning conditions. We developed an identification method of the parameters using Newton Raphson method by using the software Matlab/Simulink. This method is the faster technique which allows the identification of several parameters and can be used in real time applications. The results of the proposed method show an accordance with the experimental and simulated characteristics of photovoltaic generator.

Electrical Power Losses in a Photovoltaic Solar Cell Operating under Partial Shading Conditions

The aim of this paper is to determine the power losses recorded by a PV generator operating under partial shading conditions. These losses are evaluated through two distinct methods. The first method is based on mathematical modeling, while the second is based on Simulink’s physical model. The losses recorded are considerable and increase as a function of the increase in the percentage of shading up to a limit value where they become constant in the case where an ideal by-pass diode is connected in parallel with the modules. This limit value is non-existent in the case where the bypass diode is not ideal, which in fact corresponds to the real model. However, it emerges that the power losses are minimized in a PV system comprising bypass diodes, in particular in the case where the partial shading is considerable.

Continuous Mixed p-norm Control Scheme with Reweighted L_(0) norm Variable Step Size for Mitigating Power Quality Problems of Grid Coupled Solar PV Systems

In this paper,the performance of a two-stage three-phase grid coupled solar photovoltaic generating system(SPVGS)is analyzed by using a novel reweighted Lo norm variable step size continuous mixed p-norm(RLo-VSSCMPN)of a voltage source inverter(VSI)control scheme.The efficacy of the system is determined by considering unbalanced grid voltage,DC offset,voltage sag and swell,unbalanced load and variations in solar insolation.RLo-VSSCMPN is used for inverter control and it ex-tracts fundamental components of load current for generating the reference grid current with a faster convergence rate and lesser steady state oscillations.With the proposed control,harmonics in the grid current follows the IEEE-519 norm and the performance is also satisfactory under varying environmental/load conditions.The power generated from SPvGS is transferred optimally using a DC-DC boost converter utilizing the incremental conductance(INC)maximum power point technique.The proposed system is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink 2018a and test results are verified experimentally using dSPACE1202 in the laboratory to ensure the validity of a novel proposed robust RLo-VSSCMPN.Index Terms-INC maximum power point tracker,power quality,reweighted LoVSSCMPN algorithm,solar PV generating system,total harmonic distortion,voltage source inverter.
