  2. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    Solar inverters convert DC power to AC power and may incorporate MPPT. The power at the MPP (P mpp) is the product of the MPP voltage (V mpp) and MPP current (I mpp). In general, the P-V curve of a partially shaded solar array can have multiple peaks, and some algorithms can get stuck in a local maximum rather than the global maximum of the ...

  3. Solar power forecasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_forecasting

    Solar power forecasting is the process of gathering and analyzing data in order to predict solar power generation on various time horizons with the goal to mitigate the impact of solar intermittency. Solar power forecasts are used for efficient management of the electric grid and for power trading.

  4. Solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

    Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current . [ 2 ]

  5. Solar power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_station

    Solar power station may refer to: Concentrated solar power; Photovoltaic power station; Space-based solar power; See also. List of solar thermal power stations;

  6. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

    Concentrator photovoltaics and thermal (CPVT), also sometimes called combined heat and power solar (CHAPS) or hybrid thermal CPV, is a cogeneration or micro cogeneration technology used in the field of concentrator photovoltaics that produces usable heat and electricity within the same system.

  7. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

    Contact resistance meter Measures the contact resistance of a power switching devices. Circuit breaker analyzer: Measures the parameters of a circuit breaker. Grounding resistance tester: Measures the parameters of a soil for grounding application. Transformer oil tester: Measures the parameters of an oil in a power transformer.

  9. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

    Solar power plants are developed to deliver merchant electricity into the grid as an alternative to other renewable, fossil or nuclear generating stations. [96] The plant owner is an electricity generator. Most solar power plants today are owned by independent power producers (IPP's), [97] though some are held by investor-or community-owned ...
