After years of dormant scenario, the Brazilian industry of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is now growing fast. Therefore, improving interconnection and certification codes, as well as standards, has become undeniably ...

This work shows a methodology for the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) technology in the Pacific region of Chocó, Colombia with a visual strategy. The results indicate that the energy that the photovoltaic generator ...

Solar power generation using PV (photovoltaic) technology is a key but still evolving technology with the fastest growing renewable-based market worldwide in the last decade. In this sector with tremendous potential for ...

In the developed world, grid-connected photovoltaics (PVs) are the fastest-growing segment of the energy market. From 1999 to 2009, this industry had a 42% compound annual growth-rate. From 2009 to 2013, it is expected to ...

The variable behaviour of the photovoltaic (PV) generation arises as the main drawback of this technology. Therefore, Battery Energy Storage (BES) units appear as a promising solution to overcome the inherent intermittent ...

Penetration rate of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation to the existing utility grid is rapidly increasing over the years. Since the power generated from PV systems fluctuate according to the weather condition, ...

An unprecedented expansion of household photovoltaic (PV) systems coincided with a marked decline in household electricity demand in several jurisdictions around the world. This was driven by falling PV prices and the ...

This study proposes a novel control strategy to allow partially shaded photovoltaic power plants (PV-PPs) to mitigate the detrimental effects on the frequency of power systems without the need for energy storage. The ...

As well as many benefits, many conflicts arise with the large-scale connection of distributed generation (DG) in distribution networks. Leading the protection devices to malfunction and increasing the complexity of fault ...

This paper proposes an integrated impact analysis of photovoltaic generation in the voltage profile and the short-circuit level in secondary distribution networks. The analysis is to verify the level of voltage in consumer ...
