Abstract
Sun radiation is known as one of the cleanest energy available and free maintenance on the earth to support the extensive demand for electrical power requirement for large and small scale. This energy is known as most promising renewable energy available during the whole year. This fact has shown a very strong interest among the researchers, industries and consumers to develop technology and system that can harvest solar energy to electrical energy. A lot of researches have been done to explore the capability of sun as natural energy source which is capable to provide huge alternative support to the increasing demand of electrical power in society. All the research findings have been adaptively combined to design, develop and structure as a reliable finished product for end users implementation. The fast improving research in photovoltaic application has proven that photovoltaic renewable energy is considered as one of the most promising source to support the increasing demand in electrical utilization. Advantages implementing the photovoltaic technology will benefit during the fuel price increment and be insufficient of the non-renewable energy to support the increasing demand from the society. Looking into this factor, many industries have developed the electrical photovoltaic system in large, medium and small scale for implementation. Electricity is becoming an essential requirement because of the increasing demand for electrical power from the society. Due to the increasing demand for electrical power, many researches are conducted to support the conventional way of generating electricity. This research has explored many other available abundant renewable energy resources such as solar, wind and thermal which are largely available to support the increasing demand. In this research, researchers discovered that the solar energy is the main contributor to support the increasing demand for electricity. The research outcome has helped the industries to develop solar power photovoltaic systems. This paper discusses the approaches to design and develop a real-time 500 Watt DC to AC Solar Power System. The system capability to store the harvested energy is discussed in this paper.
Highlights
The application of photovoltaic (PV) systems is well introduced for stand-alone application, but in recent years there has been growing interest in stand-alone photovoltaic systems using direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) inverter
PV modules are exposed to the sunlight to capture the solar radiation to generate the direct current (DC) electricity
AC electricity energy is fed into the AC buildings distribution boards to provide sufficient energy supply without affecting the quality of power supply
Summary
The application of photovoltaic (PV) systems is well introduced for stand-alone application, but in recent years there has been growing interest in stand-alone photovoltaic systems using DC to AC inverter. Grid-tied solar PV system is mainly connected to the national main power grid distribution system This type of solar PV systems is usually installed or mounted on the building roof and sometimes integrated into the building. Battery storage device is used as a centralized power supply source via an independent grid connected electrical network. Most of this kind of systems are installed or implement where cabling access to lay the electrical wiring is difficult. The Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) is selected as testing location, as UTeM is located at the equatorial region [4] The development of this project focuses on applying a renewable-energy-based low power PV system to reduce the energy utilization at situation of low power consumption, and promotes the application of an environmentally-friendly and freely available energy resource
