Abstract

Solar energy is the powerhouse where all potential and classified renewable energies lug their sources. The energy transformation from the Sun to electricity requires an adequate control scheme to maximise the generated power and enhance the system efficiency. Besides, more than half of solar irradiation on conventional Photovoltaic (PV) panels is lost. The PV thermal (PV/T) modules have been introduced to convert the lost irradiation to heat. Thus, a systematic review of system components, development, and strategies for grid-connected solar PVs plants is presented. Two solar PVs, traditional PV and PV/T, are evaluated. Each grid-tied PV component is considered a subsystem to analyse the potential improvement of grid-connected PVs. This is from solar resources to grid-tied PV inverter techniques. An intensive assessment of the system improvements is presented to evaluate PV plants’ benefits, challenges, and potential solutions. The improvement trends for the novel generation of grid-connected PV systems consist of applying innovative approaches. It is also found that intelligent strategies optimally ensure the overall efficiency of grid-tied PVs using real-time control and measurement under innovative applications and technologies. These methods effectively assist in enhancing grid-tied diverse solar power approaches. Therefore, this paper would offer a significant foundation for advanced research into the subject of grid-tied PV and PV/T and their innovation and/or technology development.

并网光伏和光伏/热系统的系统综述:效益、挑战和缓解

太阳能是所有潜在的和分类的可再生能源的源泉。从太阳到电力的能量转换需要一个适当的控制方案，以最大限度地提高发电量和提高系统效率。此外，传统光伏(PV)板上一半以上的太阳辐射损失了。引入了PV热(PV/T)模块，将损失的辐射转化为热量。因此，对并网太阳能光伏电站的系统组件、开发和策略进行了系统回顾。本文对传统光伏和PV/T两种太阳能光伏进行了评估。每个并网光伏组件被视为一个子系统来分析并网光伏的潜在改进。这就是从太阳能资源到并网光伏逆变器的技术。对系统改进进行了深入的评估，以评估光伏电站的好处、挑战和潜在的解决方案。新一代并网光伏系统的改进趋势包括采用创新的方法。研究还发现，在创新的应用和技术下，智能策略通过实时控制和测量，最优地保证了并网光伏的整体效率。这些方法有效地促进了并网太阳能发电方式的多样化。因此，本文将为并网光伏和PV/T及其创新和/或技术发展的深入研究提供重要的基础。

期刊介绍： Energy & Environment is an interdisciplinary journal inviting energy policy analysts, natural scientists and engineers, as well as lawyers and economists to contribute to mutual understanding and learning, believing that better communication between experts will enhance the quality of policy, advance social well-being and help to reduce conflict. The journal encourages dialogue between the social sciences as energy demand and supply are observed and analysed with reference to politics of policy-making and implementation. The rapidly evolving social and environmental impacts of energy supply, transport, production and use at all levels require contribution from many disciplines if policy is to be effective. In particular E & E invite contributions from the study of policy delivery, ultimately more important than policy formation. The geopolitics of energy are also important, as are the impacts of environmental regulations and advancing technologies on national and local politics, and even global energy politics. Energy & Environment is a forum for constructive, professional information sharing, as well as debate across disciplines and professions, including the financial sector. Mathematical articles are outside the scope of Energy & Environment. The broader policy implications of submitted research should be addressed and environmental implications, not just emission quantities, be discussed with reference to scientific assumptions. This applies especially to technical papers based on arguments suggested by other disciplines, funding bodies or directly by policy-makers.
