Various statistics indicate that many of the parts of India, especially rural and island areas have either partial or no access to electricity. The main reason for this scenario is the immense expanse of which the power producing stations and the distribution hubs are located from these rural and distant areas. This emphasizes the significance of subsidiarity of power generation by means of renewable energy resources. Although in current energy production scenario electricity supply is principally by AC current, a large variety of the everyday utility devices like cell phone chargers, computers, laptop chargers etc. all work internally with DC power. The count of intermediate energy transfer steps are significantly abridged by providing DC power to mentioned devices. The paper also states other works that prove the increase in overall system efficiency and thereby cost reduction. With an abundance of solar power at disposal and major modification in the area of power electronic conversion devices, this article suggests a DC grid that can be used for a household in a distant or rural area to power the aforementioned, utilizing Solar PV. A system was designed for a household which is not connected to the main grid and was successfully simulated for several loads totaling to 250 W with the help of an isolated flyback converter at the front end and suitable power electronic conversion devices at each load points. Maximum abstraction of operational energy from renewable sources at a residential and commercial level is intended with the suggested direct current systems.

“…The bidirectional charger of fig.3 is modeled using average model theory of boost converter and then applying sliding mode control. The dc bus (V dc ) voltage is the input of charger; V battery -is the battery voltage and i battery is the rated battery current To apply the sliding mode, the boost converter is first modeled by using the average model theory given by [13][14] L battery dc…”

This paper deals on control strategy and analyzing power flow between home integrated photovoltaic system (PVS), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and distribution network. The neutral point clamp (NPC) multilevel inverter is the main element that allows interfacing between the different energy sources and receptors. The combination of synchronous reference frames (SRF) and indirect control algorithms applied to NPC, has allowed the system working in On and Off-grid condition for providing a continuous and uninterruptible power supply, for minimizing losses and managing effectively the power flow. The integrated PVS is supposed to satisfy a power load demand in the normal condition of solar irradiation. A PHEV is charging from PVS or grid and could supply power in case of offgrid emergency situation. An onboard bidirectional charger is modeled and controlled by sliding mode algorithm in order to ensure a secure charging and discharging of PHEV batteries. The system is tested for power factor correction and voltage regulation along with harmonic elimination. The performance of the system is validated using MATLAB software with its Simulink and power system blockset toolboxes.

“…In other words, in the new frame "dq0" the generation of reference current required by the control system will be much easier because the fundamental voltages and current are all represented by constant values. This transformation is called Park's transformation and given by the following matrix [24]:…”

Economy of Central African countries is growing very fast and the energy demand is increasing daily. As a result, the insufficient of electrical power generation is one of the major problems that slow the development. This paper is mostly focused on a technical and economical feasibility study of building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPVS) supposed to be compatible with the local consumption habit. To achieve this goal, a model of building with 263 kWh daily consumption is studied. A high efficiency dc-ac converter is modeled and controlled to interface the integrated photovoltaic system with the grid and building. A sliding mode algorithm is used to control a dc-dc converter for extracting the maximum available power from photovoltaic system. For emergencies, a battery pack is designed to supply sensitive equipment and lighting. The studied system is validated using the professional PV*SOL software and "Matlab/ Simpower system". The results are promising and could be an efficient solution to the mentioned problems.
