A favorable innovation for small-scale power generation is PDC, and it can be used as replacement of DG sets. 116 Parabolic dish technology is also a part of distributed solar power generation, which can reduce the load on centralized power plants. 97, 98
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
This paper reviews the progress made in solar power generation by PV technology. Performance of solar PV array is strongly dependent on operating conditions. Manufacturing cost of solar power is still high as compared to conventional power.
Photovoltaic power generation has been most useful in remote applications with small power requirements where the cost of running distribution lines was not feasible. As PV power becomes more affordable, the use of photovoltaics for grid-connected applications is increasing.
A basic photovoltaic system integrated with utility grid is shown in Fig. 2. The PV array converts the solar energy to dc power, which is directly dependent on insolation. Blocking diode facilitates the array generated power to flow only towards the power conditioner.
Energy generation from photovoltaic technology is simple, reliable, available everywhere, in-exhaustive, almost maintenance free, clean and suitable for off-grid applications.
