During the last century, population growth, together with economic development, has considerably increased the energy demand and, although renewable energies are becoming an alternative, still total energy supply is mainly ...

In the case of photovoltaic (PV) inverters, an adequate input voltage regulation is fundamental to maximize or limit the power. When employing the traditional control, the input capacitance requires to be oversized in order ...

In this paper, an economic analysis for four houses with a PV self-consumption system with and without Li-ion batteries is carried out. In particular three different ways of sizing PV and batteries are analyzed under three ...

In this paper, an energy management strategy based on microgrid power forecasting is applied to a residential grid-connected electro-thermal microgrid with the aim of smoothing the power profile exchanged with the grid. ...

In order to decide whether passive or active damping is required in a three-phase inverter, a previous step is to assess the intrinsic damping of the system. However, few works focus on modeling this damping for DC/AC ...

Together with the huge growth of the traditional crystalline silicon (Si-x) PV manufacturers, other thin-film solar cells have also emerged such as cadmium telluride (CdTe) manufacturers. They are characterized by the ...
