What are non-conventional methods of energy generation?

This chapter is concerned about non-conventional methods of energy generation. These include solar power, wave power, and tidal power. The highlight of the chapter is the modeling of the output of a solar cell, MPP tracking of a solar cell, and the derivation of the conditions for maximum power transfer to wave power capturing device.

How does a solar PV plant differ from a wind turbine?

Unlike wind turbines, solar PV plants have no physical energy storage available. As a result, the connected inverter must be operating at an AC transfer level below the DC power available from the solar panel. NREL has tested a 20 MW utility-scale solar PV plant in Puerto Rico and demonstrated FFR delivered with a delay of ~ 50–100 ms .

What are the advantages and disadvantages of photovoltaic cells?

Although photovoltaic cells are sensitive to high temperature and the selenide cells get damaged if operated above 60 °C, the main advantage of these cells is that no external bias voltage is required to operate them. They are extensively used in photographic exposure meters. The equivalent circuit of a solar cell is shown in Fig. 8.12.

What is the difference between synthetic inertia and solar PV?

Synthetic inertia from wind turbines increases by ~ 17% every 5 cycles, so the least amount of energy is available at the fastest response speed. Likewise, virtual inertia from solar PV is typically unavailable at response speeds of 10 cycles or less .

How is solar energy converted into electricity?

Solar power or sunlight is converted into a usable form of energy, such as electricity, by photovoltaic cells (PV), which is done directly, by virtue of photoelectric effect within the cells where the energy is converted into electric current. Often it is first concentrated, which is done indirectly by the use of mirrors and lenses.

How will non-synchronous energy generation affect the grid?

As levels of non-synchronous energy generation increase and synchronous generators continue to retire, system inertia levels are expected to fall. This might introduce a level of vulnerability to failure that could make the grid inoperable, especially as renewable energy penetrations pass 80% of annual energy demand and approach 100%.
