To improve their efficiency we need to use concentrating photovoltaic systems. These CPV systems allowed the enhancing of the power which received by the cell. This high power can raise the potential of the electrons causing the heating of the cell, which minimizes the photovoltaic efficiency of the module. This work has the role to model a concentrating photovoltaic module without and with cooling system. We have established a theoretical model based on energy balances. Using MATLAB, the obtained results, allow us to compare between CPV module with and without cooling system and to know the importance of adding the cooling system. Those results indicated the improvement of CPV systems' efficiency.","PeriodicalId":214657,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Green Energy Conversion Systems (GECS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122255861","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}

The simulation is obtained using comsol software. The proposed switch is considered as a moving membranes controlled by an applied DC voltage. The obtained results show that the Gold and Aluminum has the best displacement versus the applied voltage. The applied voltage of the model three based on meander modification becomes the third of the necessary voltage for the first model based on the uniform structure: [for example of the aluminum material: the pull in voltage equal to 47 V in model 1 and 15 V in model 3].

The results show that the increase in irradiation energy and fluency (dose) decreases significantly the output parameters of the InGaP/GaAs solar cell, open circuit voltage Vco, short-circuit current Icc, and the conversion efficiency η. The decrease in the current density Icc is due to the increase in the recombination, linked to the increase in the density of the defects.","PeriodicalId":214657,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Green Energy Conversion Systems (GECS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614546","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}

However, to address the challenges of the existing power grid, the new concept of Smart Grid (SG) has emerged. The SG combines electrical grids and communication infrastructures to form an intelligent electricity network working with all connected components to deliver sustainable electricity supplies. However, this paper discusses how the data travel from homes via smart meters to the utility through different communication mediums. The system comprises PLC as the mediator connecting smart meters to a central concentration point using RF signals. The readings are then retransmitted through free space and are received at the utility for further data analysis. Furthermore, the paper presents the implementation of a smart grid management system using MATLAB programming language, which demonstrates the transition of smart metering data from homes to the utility and illustrates the utility control over the user's consumption. Thus, The system serves as a guiding tool towards developing and testing a smarter grid.","PeriodicalId":214657,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Green Energy Conversion Systems (GECS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131831112","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}

The model can manage the parameters dependency in the PV panel with respect to solar irradiation and temperature. The input parameters are reduced in order to reduce the calculation time and the values of Rp and R are estimated by an efficient iteration method. The datasheet of the standard PV module gives all the simulator inputs. The proposed emulator system is designed and implemented in the laboratory through XSG in a Virtex 5 FPGA development board.
