7 Unit 1 Solar Generation

8 Solar PV. Solar Generation Side. A solar panel is a combination of multiple smaller panels, called Cells or Wafers, each of them is formed by various layers of different semiconducting materials, which trap the electrons as they hit the surface and convert them into electricity, which is delivered by the back layer. The cells or wafers and connected in series (to add up volts) and the series into parallels (to add up amps).

9 Solar PV. Solar Generation Side. Market Available Panel Technologies. c-si or Crystalline Type 1. Mono Crystalline 2. Poly Crystalline. Thin Film Type 1. Cadmium Telluride 2. Other non-commercial Advantages Disadvantages Notes c-si Mono c-si Poly CdTe Good efficiency with turbid sky. Long cleaning cycles. Steady market availability. Good efficiency with clear sky. Low degradation mismatch. Uneven market availability. Shorter cleaning intervals. Performance below optimal in typical equatorial turbid sky Industry average degradation mismatch. The balance between Total Project s cost vs Performance vs OM costs vs standardization and availability, makes this to be recommended technology. Same panel cost as c-si Poly. Best efficiency in turbid skies and/in hot weather. Uneven market availability. Delicate logistics. Higher Total project costs. High degradation mismatch. Shorter cleaning intervals. Even having the best performance for the local environment these are overweighted by the shortcomings Crystalline technology dominates the world industry with more than 150 GW of manufacturing capacity. Poly type is the most widely available. There is only 1 big manufacturer of CdTe and has very limited supply capacity, most of it devoted to large utility scale projects of more than 100 MWp.

10 Solar PV. Solar Generation Side. Strings & Tables. Strings are organized in tables and tables into arrays. Cables between panels shall never jump between tables. There are many possible configurations of tables, according to how many panels are in vertical order, normally it varies between 1 and 4. The panels can be oriented either in vertical position or horizontal position, as by where their long side is oriented. Here are some examples of tables: Strings must follow the table Strings can be routed on the table to reduce cable to reach the combiner of inverter. Multiple strings can be routed on the table in different shapes to reduce cable to reach the combiner of inverter.

11 Unit 1 Wind Generation.

12 Wind. Generation Side. Micro Turbines 10 kw to 800 kw Utility Scale 0 to 10 kw 800 kw to 12 MW ALMOST EMPTY Do It Yourself approach. Available even in department stores. No mainstream products in the market Manufacturers Vertical Integration. Financial product approach.

13 Wind. Generation Side. A Wind turbine is an electromechanical generation unit, where an inductive (spinning) generator is actuated by the effect of the wind against the blades of the rotor. Depending on the technology of the spinning generator. Today, the small units with less than 300 kw are no longer considered financially viable and the usual platform starts with 2 WM. The domestic types (< 50 kw) either generate DC or AC in freespin and must be associated with a battery bank due to the extreme variability of their output and their lack of controls.

14 Wind. Generation Side.

15 Wind. Generation Side. Market Available Technologies. Horizontal type 1. Domestic or Utility 2. DC or AC Output Vertical type: 1. Domestic Application 2. DC or AC Output Advantages Horizontal High availability. Proven design. Available in any scale. More units per area. No mechanical stress. Very low noise. Vertical Disadvantages Difficult OM. High mechanical stress. Complex foundations & EPC. Only available for domestic scale. More expensive. Limited market availability. Notes Utility scale presents a high inertia, allowing for smooth grid integration. The balance between cost and power has limited his development towards utility scale type. Horizontal technology dominates the market in all sizes. Verticals are mostly considered for aesthetical reasons.

18 Solar PV. Solar Generation Side. The inverter processes the DC energy received the PV Field to deliver usable AC energy

19 Solar PV. Solar Generation Side. Inverters. They convert DC power into AC power.there are various types: On Grid or Grid tied.they synchronize his output to the voltage and frequency of the hosting grid. Grid dependent. Anti-islanding protection prevails. No grid, no power. Grid forming. Anti-islanding can be cancelled or programmed. No grid, power output if desired.vrth capabilities. Off Grid or Isolated.They serve facilities not connected to the grid.they are not grid compatible. DC to AC. They create a standard power AC power in pure sinewave. Storage should be added. Inverter-Charger or DC to AC to DC. They can have multiple DC and AC inputs and include the battery charger function. DC to DC. They create a stable DC output from various DC sources to supply an Off Grid or Grid Ties inverter. The main application is large storage with multiple large DC generation sources and multiple storage banks of different technologies. Hybrids. Multiple DC and multiple AC inputs, like an Inverter-Charger, but with smart power management capabilities. Output can be Off grid or Grid tie, but not both.
