Author Description

This book proposes the modelling and simulation model of 1 MW grid connected PV based solar power plant on MATLAB Simulink also DVR is modelled with Grid connected PV system along with battery energy storage system in MATLAB/Simulink environment to mitigate power quality problems and the various results are being discussed.In today's world where pollution is also a big problem along with the energy crisis, we need to find ways to meet the energy requirements and at the same tie keeping the environment pollution free and clean. Energy from the sun if harvested with proper techniques can help in meeting energy requirement without causing any pollution. In this book the development of PV array model, their integration & Simulink implementation is described. MPPT i.e. Maximum Power Point Technique Perturb and observe control is beneficial to ensure the output of PV power generation system at the maximum possible power output level. This system consists of PV array of 1 MW power output and Maximum Power Point Technique (Perturb and Observe) is also incorporated in it and then we have Inverter and at last we have the Transformer through which the Power Plant is connected to the Grid. The performance of power plant is also described with several graphs obtained. India has vast area of land which can be utilized for generation of solar energy which is a renewable and modern source of causes no pollution. If administration install a 1 MW grid connected solar PV power plant in any district it will not only fulfil the energy demand of the premises during day time & the extra electricity will be sold to State Power Corporation limited. The income obtained by the selling will help in the improvement of the facilities. During night time the power demand will meet through grid only.Recently, with the development of industries and power electronic devices good electric power quality becomes a major requirement. Every consumer expects a clean and uninterrupted power quality for thei
