The main parameters of the system are obtained by proper models based on real meteorological data. Recommendations are derived for stand-alone PV-systems with boost charge controller based on the performance evaluation. MATLAB Simulink models are developed and long period operation is simulated for PV-systems with common MPPT algorithms and without MPPT. The annual increase of the energy output of the system was found to be 19%, if a MPPT algorithm is implemented. The derived guidelines and results can be further used for the decision-making process of PV-standalone system development.","PeriodicalId":127983,"journal":{"name":"2017 XXVI International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131789164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this way, the production process is not impeded and the required maintenance or replacement can be performed with the least possible disruption. In this study, the motor cycle, the current drawn by the motor and the motor voltage were read by the Hall-effect current sensor and the required power consumption was calculated. With this aim, the designed architecture read the accepted parameters of the motor and reported them to the central management software. The central management software operating in real time was then able to assemble these parameters and form predictive maintenance models.","PeriodicalId":127983,"journal":{"name":"2017 XXVI International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133610779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
