The impedance cells have a single operating point where the seen by the panel derives the operating point values of the current (I) and voltage (V) of of the solar panel.

  • Solar Inverters
    Solar inverters Solar inverters Solar inverters, also called grid-tied inverters, convert the direct current (DC) electricity produced by your solar PV panels to alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used in your home and exported back to the grid. Solar invertors also: • ensure compliance with regulations about feeding electricity into the grid, for example by immediately disconnecting if there is a power cut • maximise electricity production by constantly varying its resistance (load). Solar inverters are very efficient, usually 93–96 per cent depending on the make and model - never 100 per cent because they use some of the input DC power to run, generally around 10-25W. Their efficiency can be improved by an electronic technique known as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The point of maximum power output of a solar PV cell is dictated by a combination of current or voltage. Where it is will vary constantly according to light levels, shading, temperature and the characteristics of the solar PV panel. A MPPT system continually searches for this point to extract the maximum power available from the cell. Multiple MPPT systems can maximise yield even if part of the array is shaded. Find out more about MPPT at the YouGen blog. Inverter sizing There are many different makes and sizes of inverters on the market. The key characteristics are: • maximum amount of DC electricity (expressed as max DC power in Watts) the maximum number of watts the inverter has been designed to convert • maximum input voltage – this is the maximum voltage the inverter can manage before its electronics are damaged • initial input voltage (sometime called start-up voltage) – the minimum number of volts the solar PV panels need to produce for the inverter to start working • maximum power point (mpp) voltage rang - the voltage range at which the inverter is working most efficiently.

  • Combining Solar Energy and UPS Systems
    Combining Solar Energy and UPS Systems Tobias Bengtsson Håkan Hult Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Energy Technology EGI-2014-067MSC Division of Applied Thermodynamics and Refrigeration SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis EGI 2014:067 Combining Solar Energy and UPS Systems Tobias Bengtsson Håkan Hult Approved Examiner Supervisor Date Per Lundqvist Björn Palm Commissioner Contact person 2 ABSTRACT Solar Power and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) are two technologies that are growing rapidly. The demand for solar energy is mainly driven by the trend towards cheaper solar cells, making it eco- nomically profitable for a larger range of applications. However, solar power has yet to reach grid pari- ty in many geographical areas, which makes ways to reduce the cost of solar power systems important. This thesis investigates the possibility and potential economic synergies of combining solar power with UPS systems, which have been previously researched only from a purely technical point of view. This thesis instead evaluates the hypothesis that a combined solar and UPS system might save additional costs compared to regular grid-tied systems, even in a stable power grid. The primary reason is that on- line UPS systems rectifies and inverts all electricity, which means that solar energy can be delivered to the DC part of the UPS system instead of an AC grid, avoiding the installation of additional inverters in the solar power system. The study is divided into three parts. The first part is a computer simulation using MATLAB, which has an explorative method and aims to simulate a combined system before experimenting physically with it.

  • Can I Use a Solar Grid-Tie Inverter with My Xtender?
    FAQ - Can I use a solar grid-tie inverter with my Xtender? AC Coupling is a term used to describe systems that combine grid-tie inverters (usually feeding all energy produced to the grid) and battery-based inverters (usually for off-grid or backup applications). Grid-tie inverters or solar inverters convert the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panels into a utility frequency alternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or be used by a local, off-grid electrical network. A grid-tie inverter synchronizes with an existing sine wave (grid) and shuts down upon a grid failure. Today many manufacturers have included "frequency shift" behaviour on their grid-tie inverters. This allows the grid-tie inverters to reduce their power output depending on the grid frequency. Figure 1 Frequency shift behaviour from SMA One or various solar grid-tie inverters can be installed in an Xtender system, coupled on AC. The system will work as described below: 1) AC Coupling with a Xtender Off-grid system When off-grid, the Xtender is forming the grid with energy from the battery, using the inverter function.
