WEEK 24: FUNCTION OF INVERTER

Objective: 

To know the function of inverter.

Procedure:

1) Search google about the function of charger contoller.

2) State in the result about the function of charger controller.

Result:

A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power. The power is provided by the DC source as my project use battery that supply direct current (DC). A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry. Static inverters do not use moving parts in the conversion process.

Conclusion

After make some research about inverter. We know that inverter function is to invert direct current DC to alternate current AC as been explain in the result above.

Objective: 

To make some research on charger controller.

Procedure: 

1) Search on internet about what the function of charger controller in my project

Result:

1) The function charger controller is to limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drown from electric battery. Its prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may pose a safety risk. It may also prevent completely draining a battery or perform controlled discharges. The term charger controller may refer to either a stand-alone device, or to control circuitry integrated within a battery pack, battery power device or battery charger.

Conclusion:

PV solar panel change the light into electricity. But there had a problem when the temperature is increasing, its will effect the output of this solar panel. Thus, this problem had to overcome to provide the efficiency of PV panel.

WEEK 6: To Study How Photovoltaic process.

Objective:

 1) To know how the system of photovoltaic.

2) To study how the photovoltaic can convert the Sun light into electricity.

Method:

1) Searching the info in the internet about the photovoltaic process.

2) Ask my supervisor about the photovoltaic.

3) Watch in youtube how the system of photovoltaic flow.

Result:

1)A photovoltaic system converts the sun's radiation into usable electricity. It comprises the solar array and the balance of system components. PV systems can be categorized by various aspects, such as, grid-connected vs. stand alone systems, building-integrated vs. rack-mounted systems, residential vs. utility systems, distributed vs. centralized systems, rooftop vs. ground-mounted systems, tracking vs. fixed-tilt systems, and new constructed vs. retrofitted systems. Other distinctions may include, systems with microinverters vs. central inverter, systems using crystalline silicon vs. thin-film technology.

2)Grid connected system is connected to a larger independent grid (typically the public electricity grid) and feeds energy directly into the grid. This energy may be shared by a residential or commercial building before or after the revenue measurement point. The difference being whether the credited energy production is calculated independently of the customer's energy consumption (feed-in tariff) or only on the difference of energy (net metering). Grid connected systems vary in size from residential (2–10 kW_p) to solar power stations (up to 10s of MW_p). This is a form of decentralized electricity generation. The feeding of electricity into the grid requires the transformation of DC into AC by a special, synchronising grid-tie inverter.

Conclusion:

1)The photovoltaic had many system such as Grid connection system, stand alone system and etc. there have their own specialities. Others system will be updated in next week.
