“…Their findings shows that in that particular location, although the four technologies perform satisfactorily, a-Si performance is superior to other technologies, yielding an energy of 181.1MWh in a year. R. Carbone in 2009 [17] experimented with small-scale prototype of grid connected PV system with energy storage in battery. He found out that energy storage by means of battery, operated in a distributed manner enhance energy yield of grid connected PV power plant by naturally catching the maximum power point (MPP)of the module, particularly in mismatching condition.…”

Photovoltaic is direct conversion of sunlight into electricity through electronic means that occurs at atomic level of semiconductors materials. It is neat, silent and elegant process of generating electric power in environmentally friendly manner. In this paper, the design analyses roof-mounted Grid-connected 148.5kWp Photovoltaic System with Energy Storage for use in a Local Government secretariat in Nigeria. The design was simulated using PV*SOL software to evaluate the system's production performance and to know the amount of electric power generation for every day of the year. The result shows that the PV system's daily production far exceeds energy demand in the building. The maximum monthly demand is 2893.22kWh while the least energy production is 13,802kWh which occur in July. The highest production occurs in November with 20,258kWh; followed by March energy yield of 20,053kWh. Hence, the system could serve as good revenue source for the government by exporting more than 75% of the power generated to the grid in exchange for good cash from electricity utility; while at same time serving as motivation for home owners in the community as well as other governmental offices to generate some or all of their energy need.

“…Having in mind the objective to obtain, in addition to previously mentioned ancillary services, the important goal of improving reliability, availability and electrical energy generation capability of grid-connected PV plants (under assigned solar irradiation conditions), the new idea that will be fully analysed in this work is that batteries can be used in a new and more effective "distributed manner". In this new context, batteries, with a reduced whole capacity value, can be utilized as distributed passive maximum power point trackers (MPPT) able of maximizing the amount of energy generated by grid-connected PV plants in presence of non-uniform shadowing (partial shadowing) effects on PV fields, as an alternative to the more expensive and complex active MPPTs [Carbone, 2009].…”

“…In this paper a centralized inverter that connects PV modules in series and/or parallel [15] is used due to lower cost of power conditioning and high conversion efficiency of the inverter. Accordingly, the PVC module simulated in PSCAD consists of several strings of PV modules connected in parallel, with each string consisting of a number of PV modules connected in series.…”
