Renewable energy utilization is the only suitable solution to diminish the increasing level of
greenhouse gas emissions, fuel costs, and energy crisis in the next generation. Out of many …

Laser power transmission (LPT) is one of the most promising technologies in the long-range
wireless power transfer field. LPT research has been driven by the desire to remotely power …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shading conditions (PSCs) have a
nonmonotonic PV characteristic with multiple local maximum power points, which makes the …

Fault diagnosis in photovoltaic (PV) arrays is essential in enhancing power output as well as
the useful life span of a PV system. Severe faults such as Partial Shading (PS) and high …

This paper presents a comprehensive overview on various maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) techniques, which have been recently designed, simulated and/or experimentally …

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has enormous potential for on-site renewable
energy generation in urban environments. However, BIPV systems are still in a relatively …

In this paper, a string level fault detection and diagnosis technique for photovoltaic (PV)
systems based on k-nearest neighbors (k NN) rule is proposed. It detects and classifies …

This paper proposes a novel Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method suitable for
any application in which very fast changing and not uniform shading conditions continuously …

Photovoltaic modules subjected to partial shading conditions (PSC) can drastically decrease
their power output. Hence, there have been various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) …

This paper presents a detection scheme for DC side short-circuit faults of photovoltaic (PV)
arrays that consist of multiple PV panels connected in a series/parallel configuration. Such …
