“…A little cost paid to utility for charging the batteries is better to increase the life of battery bank than replacing the battery banks every year hence increasing the cost annually. Studies show that the ideal control strategy for battery storage can increase the efficiency of battery bank [23][24][25] and ultimately reduce the induced inefficiency [26]. In line with the elevating demand for solar PV, DC microgrid is an encouraging technique to blend distributed generation, storage devices, and various types of load management and distribution techniques [27].…”

Smart grid for the past few years has been the prime focus of research in power systems. The aim is to eliminate load shedding and problematic blackout conditions, further offering cheap and continuous supply of electricity for both large and small consumers. Another benefit is to integrate renewable energy resources with existing dump grid in more efficient and cost-effective manner. In past few years, growing demand for sustainable energy increases the consumption of solar PV. Since generation from solar PV is in DC and most of the appliances at home could be operated on DC, AC-DC hybrid distribution system with energy management system is proposed in this paper. EMS helps to shift or control the auxiliary load and compel the users to operate specific load at certain time slots. These techniques further help to manage the excessive load during peak and off peak hours. It demonstrates the practical implementation of DC-AC network with integration of solar PV and battery storage with existing infrastructure. The results show a remarkable improvement using hybrid AC-DC framework in terms of reliability and efficiency. All this functioning together enhances the overall efficiency; hence, a secure, economical, reliable, and intelligent system leads to a smart grid.

High-concentrator photovoltaic (HCPV) power plants are inherently different from conventional photovoltaic (PV) power sources due to the use of concentrator modules and two-axis solar trackers. HCPV technology is a relatively new energy source; therefore, there is limited experience in its application in power plants. Bearing this in mind, this chapter aims to provide information about the special features and performance of HCPV power plants under real operating conditions. The analysis of current concentrator modules and solar trackers is addressed to achieve a better understanding of the main characteristics of this kind of systems. In addition, different methods for estimating the energy yield of an HCPV system or power plant are discussed. This is a crucial task to analyse the potential of such emerging technology. Finally, several HCPV power plants and relevant data concerning their energy yield and performance ratio (PR) are described and commented.

In this paper, we estimate expected monthly averages of daily energy yields with methods which use solar maps published by weather services dedicated to solar energy. We present a comparison of monthly averages of PV daily yields calculated with our own models as well as with values obtained from international databases. In terms of methodology, our paper refers always to the results of an hour-by-hour simulation software. Whatever picture we take, we find that linear "simple models" tend always to overestimate yields and we explain why. We propose a non-linear model which seems to be the best compromise for our future PV yields database. AbstractImproving grid-connected PV dc yields obtained with daily models.
