Abstract
Estimation of solar energy generation in the integrated power systems must be performed for power system the long-term planning and the short-term control. Irradiation is one of the main factors affecting the out coming energy of solar system. Hence, investigation of solar irradiation on the horizontal surface helps in proper and efficient implementation of solar energy system. Capturing much more energy from the irradiation, by the Photovoltaic (PV) cells, results in enhancement of out coming energy of PV station. This paper is going to study the impact of implementation two topologies for energy harvesting in PV stations. The topologies are as follows: (a) PV station with multilevel boost converters and inverters, (b) PV station with only multilevel inverters. Studies have been performed on 80 KW PV test station, located in Kabudrahang, Iran. The comparison between the results demonstrates much more solar energy harvesting in the case of applying multilevel converters in the output of PV arrays. Simulation results show the promising result of the proposed topology in harvesting maximum power from a PV station.
