In an FPM, it is necessary to connect the solar cells of each PV panel in series in order to obtain high output voltage. However, series connections of this type can also decrease the amount of electric power generated by the FPM if the shadows produced by panels fall on those receiving sunlight. In this paper, we report our computer simulation-based investigation into the relationship between the cell series connection numbers and the output electric power of an FPM, the results of which show that amounts of power generated by the FPM decrease with an increase in the number of series cell connections. This rate of decrease is considered to weaken the efficiency of each direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter.","PeriodicalId":6535,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"126-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84559760","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 mismatch between supply and demand causes the frequency deviations which results in malfunction of most of the electrical devices. Moreover, it affects the system stability resulting in system blackouts as that of USA, in 2003. For decades the balancing of supply and demand was based on generation side control of power systems through ahead of time generation dispatch scheduling. The smart grid is being used today to describe technologies and methods that automatically and rapidly isolate faults, restore power, monitor demand, and maintain and restore stability for more reliable electric power. Thus, in this study, a method of controlling active power (balancing demand and supply) in real time is proposed This method is feasible in smart grid as communication and advanced information technologies are used for real time data exchange about the generation, demand, storage, market, environmental conditions, and other necessary data. These data are important in making decisions about real-time supply and demand balancing in the smart grid. Additionally, in smart grid, taking the advantage of demand response and storage systems, it is possible to balance demand and supply in real-time The simulation is done by the DigSilent Power Factory simulation tool for verification of the proposed method. In addition to an electric network modeling part of the simulation tool, the DigSilent Programming Language (DPL) feature is used for coding the decision making program.","PeriodicalId":6535,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 6th International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"79 1","pages":"585-590"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77025384","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}
