Abstract— Solar photovoltaic energy has shown a significant growth in the last decade. In the face of this growth, there are challenges to consider for the high penetration rates of solar photovoltaic, since this type of ...

The behavior of a photovoltaic (PV) module may be captured via its current-voltage (I-V) characteristic. The single-diode model is able to adequately fit this characteristic while featuring limited parameterization difficulty, ...

This research analyses the quality of the electricity produced on photovoltaic systems connected to the power grid in the city of Cuenca (Ecuador). For this, an overview of the literature and the Ecuadorian, American, and ...

Although it does not have a universally accepted definition, the concept of smart cities is increasingly being discussed. With the significant increase in the percentage of the population living in cities and the consequent ...

The initial context of this work is to evaluate the power production of solar panels under different conditions of solar radiation and temperature in order to have simulation tools to analyze the performance of photovoltaic ...

Clean energy resources have become a worldwide concern, especially photovoltaic (PV) energy. Solar cell modeling is considered one of the most important issues in this field. In this article, an improvement for the search ...

The growing demand for electrical power and the limited capital invested to provide this power is forcing countries like Brazil to search for new alternatives for electrical power generation. The purpose of this paper is ...
