In principle, significant reverse currents pertinent to solar cells local and/or global imperfections indicate worse reliability. We carried out experiments of U-I curve measurements of local defect-free samples at different temperatures. Two equivalent circuit models for relatively low and high reverse current range were put forward. The former model indicates initial influence of saturation current and leakage current with resistive character. But, the later model deals with parasitic pn junction near the back contact electrode of solar cell. It turns out that, not fully suppressed junction creates in solar cell n+pn+ transistor structure and samples behaviour is affected significantly. Least but not least, the full model validity is verified by means of U-I curve approximation of some different samples.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041420","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}

To mitigate transmission congestion and utilize current transmission system optimally, the restructured network with compensators is proposed as an alternative solution. Compensators are usually used to compensate active and reactive power and keep the stability of system on desired level.

Variable supply (or load) of electrical energy cause voltage fluctuations in the distribution networks, changes in short-circuit ratio, and also affect active losses in the network at the expense of distribution companies. Alternative generators of electricity influence the distribution networks not only by their output power, but also by their electrical distance from the supply network, i.e. mostly from the distributing point of the superior system. The issue of electrical distance is currently seen only in relation with the short-circuit effect (short-circuit contribution of individual generators). The presented paper correlates the electrical distance of the connection point of wind power generators in the distribution network of medium voltage (22kV) from the 110kV power supply node and the voltage effect on the distribution network and the 110kV power network.","PeriodicalId":197298,"journal":{"name":"2010 9th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115063189","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}

Contingency analysis is performed to detect and rank the severest one-line fault contingency in a power system. The optimization objective function is consists of line overloads alleviation and bus voltage magnitudes enhancement. To validate the effectiveness of proposed approach, simulations are carried out on IEEE 9 bus system.
