By creating the micro-level unique panel dataset covering the period between 2009 and 2014, we compared municipalities that employed subsidies with municipalities that did not to analyze their effects on the amount of installation and the system prices. Our results indicated that the municipal subsidies significantly induced the installation of rooftop PV although their effects depended on the several conditions such as income. On the other hand, we found no evidence of an effect on rooftop PV's system price reduction in municipalities with higher exposure to the subsidies. Subsidies rather seemed to have an effect to raise prices up.","PeriodicalId":6535,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"828-832"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75226539","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}

We propose a new highly efficient solar-to-hydrogen conversion system consisting of multiple converter-electrolyzer sets connected in parallel to a photovoltaic (PV) array. This system is flexible to apply to various PV configurations. One-day simulations based on measured PV and electrolyzer characteristics demonstrate very high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency (higher than 99.9%) and average power conversion efficiency (94.0%) on a clear sunny day. Annual energy production is expected to increase by 8.5%-point compared with a single converter system using one of the best commercial converter. The key elements of the high efficiency are the new system topology, a specially designed phase-shift full-bridge converter and a control method “P&O with converter scoring” algorithm.","PeriodicalId":6535,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"96 1","pages":"441-446"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76604784","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}
