“…Solar panels must be put in adequate lighting place, normally on the civil roof, which makes it difficult to monitor solar power system [12]. To master the work efficiency of solar panels, monitoring approach for distributed photovoltaic system is very important, however, it is waste of space to monitor each piece of panels, such as wiring problem.…”

In distributed photovoltaic systems, solar panels are placed in adequate lighting place, for example civil roof, which leads to the difficulty of monitoring. In this paper, we present a monitoring system to observe the stability and performance of the photovoltaic by data analysis. For solar cells, there are some data collectors, which will be connected to specific ZigBee devices to transmit the monitoring data to web server. The collected data will be analyzed and presented by web server. Specific users can monitor the data on mobile phones and personal computers through data releasing on web page by Ajax and Html (the Hypertext Markup Language) technology. In the process, the open source Linux operating system has been selected as the development platform, on which the open source BOA is deployed as web server. In the process of data transmitting, a simple and effective data protocol is adopted to evaluate the system performance. Through the remote monitoring, a lot of human and material sources are saved. Experiments show that ZigBee networking is an ideal solution to distributed solar cells monitoring and the monitoring system runs effectively.

Now-a-days effective solar power generation is necessary for smart grid implementation. Grid fed single-stage single-phase solar inverter with incremental conductance MPPT (INC+ regulator), closed loop current and voltage controller is implemented. In normal condition inverter current T.H.D is under the limit as per IEEE-519. At the time of fault, inverter having voltage imbalance, which may lead to damage. System fault ride through capability is improved by using Series Dynamic Braking Resistor (SDBR) with high current error as control parameter. Protection scheme maintains the grid code and hence the solar inverter needs not to be disconnected from the grid during the fault. Comparative results are obtained by simulation in MATLAB R2013a software. The whole system can be used in local distribution system as an application in future effectively.

“…Among relative humidity, temperature and dust, the PV module performance was found to be most affected by dust depositions during long operation times. Smart grid features and renewable energy integration requirements were reviewed in [13] which also introduced a micro inverter and simulated it proving that it meets leakage current standards.…”

Abstract-Solar energy has received attention in the MiddleEast given the abundant and free irradiance and extended sunny weather. Although photovoltaic panels were introduced decades ago, they have recently become economical and gained traction. We present a mathematical model for series-parallel photovoltaic modules, evaluate the model, and present the I-V and P-V characteristic plots for various temperatures, irradiance, and diode ideality factors. The power performance results are then analyzed and recommendations are made. Unlike other related work, our evaluation uses standard spreadsheet software avoiding commercial simulation packages and application programming. Results indicate improved power performance with irradiance and parallel connections of cell series branches. Given the hot weather in our region, increasing the number of cells connected in series from 36 to 72 is not recommended.
