The method consists of solving a second degree equation representing the derivative of the power function. The current and the maximum voltage being determined, the maximum power is deduced. Four popular types of photovoltaic panels from different manufacturers were considered for the study: BYD Model (BYD 320P6C-36), Atersa Grupo Model (A-320P GSE), SunPower Model (E19-320) and Model operated in the 50 MW power plant of Nouakchott-Mauritania (JKM320PP-72-V) of JinkoSolar. A comparative study is carried out between the simulated results and the data of the manufacturer of different technologies. The results obtained prove the effectiveness of the proposed method and that the BYD 320P6C-36 model is the most efficient among the four different technologies studied.展开更多

To meet these purposes, three years data of the Senegalese grid frequency are used, combined with three PV power plants data since their starting-up. Using these data, we analyzed two days of heavily disturbed operation of the Senegalese grid in order to emphasize the real impact of the presence of PV power plants on the electrical grid. Our study has highlighted that how the intermittency of photovoltaic power plants affects frequency management. It obviously appears that the PV production curves follow the irradiation variations. Instantaneous variations of PV production make it difficult to manage the grid frequency leading to more frequent load shedding as we have shown with the data after the commissioning of the PV power plants. We also estimate the power then energy losses during the load shedding induced by the PV integration on the power grid by comparing a period corresponding to one month before (February 2017) and one month after (February 2018) the integration of variable PV production.展开更多

These resources have the potential to completely or partially replace the existing or projected diesel generators. The main objective of this case study is to study the possibility of using a hybrid system (HS) of the type (diesel, wind and storage). The most important part of this case study intended for this area will be to add the solar in a first phase and then the incorporation of an interconnection with the nearby network in a second phase. This interconnection will be secured by mean of medium voltage lines of 33 kV, where the nearest point is located 35 km away. Indeed, the study of the optimization model is carried out through Homer, which was developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory [NREL]. Thus, it should be noted that the HS is analyzed on the basis of costs ($/kW) and price ($/kWh) and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, in order to achieve these techno-economic optimization objectives, this paper introduces a sensitivity analysis that has been proposed to determine the effect of costs on each HS configuration. In the end, HSs are needed for maximum use of renewable resources at the studied site for an uninterrupted power supply.展开更多

In front of the growing demand for electric energy, essentially for the needs of remote, isolated and mountainous regions, photovoltaic systems, especially water pumping systems, are beginning to emerge in large applications. In this sense, the proposed study deals with the problem of the water level regulation in the photovoltaic pumping system. It is in this context that the interest in this paper is dictated by the need to use an existing energy source on the site. Still in this light, it is important to note that, often, the calculation of the size of the GPV that feeds the pumping system and the pump involves a certain degree of uncertainty, mainly due to two main reasons: the first is related to randomness of solar radiation which is often little known and the second is related to the difficulty to estimate the water needs. This is why, on the one hand, the realization of such a system has made it possible to show the possibility of determining the projected quantity for water storage. Similarly, it has shown that the prediction of this quantity of water can be calculated by a simple analytical method based on numerical computation. Thus, it was also shown for this pumping system, thanks to graphical analysis methods, developing autonomy, reliability and good performance. In this sense, this experience opens the door for a practical and economical solution to the problem of lack of water, especially in our regions. Measurements made on the studied system prove that the designed approach improves the efficiency. Finally, it is also expected to draw further conclusions for the operation of these systems in similar sites.展开更多
