ECE Research Seminar - Effective Power Management in Stand-alone PV System

Stand-alone PV systems are designed to provide an acceptable balance between reliability and cost, which is a major challenge to the designer owing to the approaches used to size the PV arrays and the battery bank. The unpredictable, quick daily changes on the PV output, are not dependable. Moreover, battery performance, length of life and energy efficiency depends on the rate at which it is discharged. Therefore, it is essential to use other methods to deal with any quick variation in energy.  Super-capacitor is used to solve this problem, as it can deal with the fast-changing weather, or a rapid variation in the energy requirements of the customer.  This talk will report on  detailed simulation with the results obtained from the proposed energy management system.
