These solar energy conversion systems are subject to a set of constraints upon exposure to environmental conditions, these processes have adverse effects on the long-term performance. The resistance of the doped PMMA an increase temperature was tested by Raman spectroscopy in the presence of a temperature rise of controlled system (DSC), the effect of some cycles of increasing in temperature on the optical properties of PMMA (Absorption, transmission and fluorescence) were presented.

There are two types of the gridconnected inverter based on the transformer. These are called the transformerless inverter and isolated inverter. The former is a smaller size and weight; however, the one limitation of this inverter is a leakage current problem. The latter has the advantage of being applicable in isolated locations, but it suffers from high cost and significant weight. In general, the grid-connected inverter has required a filter to mitigate the harmonic components and produce a perfect sinusoidal waveform. But this filter should be properly selected, whether the L filter or LCL filter. This paper reviews the previous studies on the grid-connected inverter and highlights the limitations from the literature’s point of view. Finally, suggestions and recommendations for designing the filter and an optimal control for the gridconnected inverter are presented with extensive and indepth detail.

Thus, in order to achieve an instantaneous control of both stator active and reactive powers flow, the aim of this approach is to control the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) using a robust non-linear feedback control scheme, in which, a robust control law based on Lyapunov theory associated with a sliding mode controller is used to handle the issue of parameters uncertainty and to guarantee a global asymptotic stability of the system.
