“…It is observed that the system exhibits higher thermal and electrical efficiencies than the conventional BISPVT systems, the maximum value of cell temperature can decreased from 62.68°C to 53.75°C and heat extracted by air in a year from the fin surface is amounts 55.4 kWh/year. The results of basic studies on irradiance and energy output of photovoltaic systems have been reported by some researchers (Rahman et al 1988;Celik 2003;Smiley 2001) while there have been other studies on the temperature and generation performance of photovoltaic modules (Mattei et al 2006;Carr & Pryor 2004;Chenni et al 2007) integrated in building.…”

The building sector accounts for around 40-50 % of the energy consumed in developing countries and contribute over 30 % of CO 2 emissions. In Cameroon, the electricity access is less than 5 % in rural areas against 50 % in urban areas. All sectors combined the Cameroonian final energy consumption amounts to approximately 5235 kilo-tonnes of oil equivalent (Ktoe) and 73 % of this energy are assigned for residential use. This energy can be considerably reduced with the development of low energy buildings using Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV), since it has been proven an effective solution to achieve significant energy savings and conservation. However, photovoltaic (PV) panels produce a substantial amount of heat, while generating power. Consequently, BIPV's concept, where the photovoltaic (PV) panel is integrated on the building envelops has significant influence on the amount of heat transfer through the building fabrics, and could affect the indoor air temperatures and the comfort of the occupants, since, it changes the thermal resistance of the building envelops. In this paper, the effect of the BIPV on the indoor air temperatures and humidity (IATH) of a multiple storey buildings under the tropical climatic conditions of Yaoundé, Cameroon has been modelled and analysed. Two cases of BIPV made of 290 m 2 area of PV have been considered, i) roof integrated and ii) façade integrated. In addition, building orientation, roof pitch and the building materials are also been explored and optimised to provide the best combination. It has been observed that for both cases, BIPV increases the building's indoor air temperature by about 4°C, when compare to a building of the same size without PV integrated.

“…In the presented method with the concept of eq. (20), the parameters dependent on module temperature may affect the efficiency of the PV system, [16][17]. Hence, for successful MPPT under all conditions, the effects of temperature variations on V T and I 0 need to be considered.…”

“…Referring to the literature, valuable contributions towards the model based methods for estimating the temperature of PV modules are available in [17][18][19]. In this paper, the NOCT model described in [17] is employed to estimate the cell temperature. The MPPT algorithm with the improved characteristics of being insensitive to noise, dc offset, and converter topology is shown in Fig.…”

This paper presents a study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic arrays with only one current sensor. Initially, a review of MPPT methods with only a current sensor is performed with extension for a variety of dc/dc converters. Furthermore, the same topology is developed to achieve better performance in the presence of sensor offset and environmental noise. The proposed method is robust, cost effective, and behaves well dynamically and in the steady state. After a theoretical analysis of presented approach, its validity and effectiveness are verified by simulation and experimental results.

Abstract-This paper discusses the development of an agentbased test bed permitting the integrated study of retail and wholesale power markets operating over realistically rendered transmission and distribution systems. A key issue to be addressed using this test bed is the dynamic effect of increased penetration of consumer-owned distributed energy resources, such as PV generation, particularly when coupled with increased price-sensitivity of demand as realized through demand response, demand dispatch, and/or price-sensitive demand bidding.
