The solar photovoltaic (PV) module directly converts the light energy into the electrical energy, but energy obtained from the PV module acts as low voltage DC source and has relatively low conversion efficiency. In order to improve the efficiency and convert low voltage DC source into usable AC source, the power electronics converters are used to transform DC into AC. In this paper Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel inverter using PV Cell is used to convert DC voltage into AC voltage. A multilevel inverter promises fewer harmonics and are capable to function at low switching frequency as compared to two level inverters. Renewable sources can be connected to the ac grid with the help of the MLIs, where high quality AC waveforms can be obtained. In this paper, Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter using PV cell is discussed for various levels. The output waveforms for both current and voltage are obtained by implementing phase disposition and phase opposition disposition pulse width modulation techniques using MATLAB/ SIMULINK. The harmonic distortions are analyzed for three level, five level, fifteen level and twenty five level CHMLIs.

Due to consider the fossil fuels, coal, and natural gasses, researchers doing much scientific research into it. As a result of the shortage of those above-mentioned factors, global warming may increase. To solve these problems, using natural renewable energy resources is one of the best sources of energy without increasing global warming. This research can be considered with the objective of supplying water to the agriculture purpose. Normally water pumping systems include a generator driven pump. These mechanisms have many problems such as: energy consumption, require high maintenance (fuel consumption) and diesel generator pump has environmental impacts. This study will address the above-mentioned problems by using a non-convectional based power system for water pump rather than using convectional based. Solar-powered water pumping system is one of the options, because it has less maintenance (no moving parts), easy to install, and, environmentally friendship via lifetimes and economically feasible after installation. MATLAB was used for modeling and simulation of Buck converter, Inverter, PV Cell, PV Array and HOMER software was used for PV water pumping economic cost analysis. The designed system is capable of providing 85m3per day daily water consumption of 92,400 litres per household at a total head of 76m. A comparison of the unit cost of water shows that PV water pumping is high at initial but drops to$0.16 per Kwh as installation completed than a diesel generator $0.22 per Kwh and $0.34 per Kwh of grid electricity. The outcome of the study will serve the community by supplying water and make the communities familiar with solar technologies.

The aim of this paper is to track a Global Maximum Power Point under Partial Shading Condition from the PV array using Artificial Intelligent (AI) Techniques. Partial Shading Condition is one of the important problems to get Maximum Power from PV array. Partial Shading Condition (PSC) might be anything in the nature such as clouds, leaves, electric poles and the shadow of buildings which shades falls on the PV module. If some part of a PV module is shaded, then the cells in the shaded region cannot produce as much current as un-shaded cells. The main objective of this paper is to track the Maximum Power from PV cell through AI techniques during (PSC). This paper implements an Clustered Gravitational Search Algorithm to solve MPP tracking problem. The simulation study is carried out on three different patterns with different number of peaks. Simulation results have confirmed that the CGSA gives better quality solution than other algorithm in the literature.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is one of the potential sources of green energy. Manifestation of solar energy in an efficient way require accurate modeling of PV system for performing dynamic analysis of converters, and for simulating the PV system. A fair amount of literature is available on this work in dispersed form, however this review paper is an attempt to deliberate the information and important work on solar PV modeling in a coherent and systematic manner. This paper contains information on PV cell along with brief discussions on its circuit models, their advantages-disadvantages. In addition to the above, the importance and effect of every model parameter on the output characteristic of PV cell have also been discussed further. Additionally, this paper also includes a study of different estimation methods for single diode Rsh-model parameters. The estimation methods mentioned in this study is categorized into three approaches i.e., Five-point iterative method, Analytical method (approximate solutions), and Exact explicit analytical solutions.

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to show the potential use of a solar panel using multiple fixed directed mirrors or aluminum foils as a reflector instead of ordinary solar tracker in rural perspective of Bangladesh. The solar panel only receives direct beam of sunlight and diffused sunlight. Experiment shows that if we use reflector (mirror or aluminium foil) to concentrate sunlight onto PV panels, each individual panel receives a lot of additional power. As a result, the number of solar panels needed to produce a certain amount of power can be reduced, and the money spent on ordinary solar trackers which are more expensive than reflectors is saved. This, therefore, is a cost-effective way- which allows solar energy to be more accessible to the rural people of Bangladesh-to generate more amount of solar power with less number of panels and a lower cost. With the help of multimeter we recorded the received power of a photovoltaic solar panel using reflector (mirror or a...

The objective of this paper is a Study on Power Generation Analysis of Floating PV System Considering Environmental Impact. The floating photovoltaic system is a new concept in energy technology to meet the needs of recent time. The system integrates existing land based Load with a newly developed floating photovoltaic technology. Because module temperature of floating PV system is lower than that of overland PV system, the floating PV system has 10% better generation efficiency than overland PV system. Offshore Solar Generation is better present technology. The paper has demonstrated application of off shore solar generation for AC and DC load

A grid connected hybrid generation system (HGS) consisting of wind energy conversion System (WECS)/Photo voltaic (PV) System/solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is designed and simulated by using Matlab/Simulink. SOFC is the replacement of battery, attached to produce the clean energy when these renewable energy sources are unable to produce required amount of electric power. A controller is used to regulate the flow of H2 through the valve to the SOFC and the rest amount of H2 is stored in storage tank. Also, an operational control strategy (OCS) is developed to utilize maximum amount of power of PV to the required load and rest amount of power is coming from wind to fulfill the load demand. Hence, the electrolyzer is supplied by the wind power to convert the water in to H2 and oxygen. Also the power quality factor (PQF) analysis is exercised to measure the quality of power transmission.

The human mind always needs information of interest to control systems of his/her choice. In the age of highly advanced electronic systems many methods of remotely control systems have been developed, these methods have the problems such as the need for special devices and software to control the system. This paper suggests a method for control using the DTMF tone generated when the user pushes mobile phone keypad buttons or when connected to a remote mobile system. This DTMF based controller is used to control the operation of multiple relays & also for the purpose of efficiency improvement of a PV cell by regulating the open circuit voltage of the cell. The proposed work has been done experimentally in Labview 7.1 software.
