“…Over the last few years, various studies have been conducted on the performance parameters of installed PV power plants in different geographical locations, with different climatic conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Performance analyses investigate the influences of PV module technologies, inverters, shading, wiring, array inclinations, tracking and fixed PV systems, type of grid connections, etc.…”

Present day industrialization faces a major challenge of power shortage which adversely affects the industrial production due to energy crisis. Governments devised various schemes to support renewable energy generation in order to supplement the conventional energy resources; a range of incentives, subsidies, soft loans, and tax credits are introduced to increase power capacity through renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, and biomass. This paper emphasizes on a photovoltaic and battery fed autonomous induction motor drive system suitable for small scale industries which were either suffering due to long power outages or inaccessibility of grid power. The two sources are suitably integrated through a DC-DC converter system and then connected to a multilevel inverter. A battery charger is integrated with the system which ensures near-full battery voltage always and improves reliability of the system. The proposed scheme is presented with different modes of operation and also experimented with a real time application. V C 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

This paper discusses the results obtained from a solar powered LED roadway lighting system in a reputed manufacturing industry in India. This system is an alternative to conventional grid powered high pressure sodium vapour roadway lighting existing in the industry. Design of LED lighting system for replacing the existing high pressure sodium vapour lamp considering the pupil lumens is discussed in detail. Sizing of solar photovoltaic modules and battery capacity for the project along with development of charge controller and LED driver are deliberated in the paper. A few salient features of solar powered LED roadway lighting system such as module mounting design, operational performance, economic feasibility of the system etc. are also well documented in this work.
