    A study of solar radiation in one area is very important to decide the area is suitable or not to be constructed the generation of photovoltaic (PV) system. The solar radiation can be recorded using the equipment of solar power meter or weather station. But it is due to the limitation of equipment, maybe a technical error occurs on the equipment, thus the equipment has a problem to record the data of solar radiation or one area has no equipment of solar radiation recording. An estimation method of solar radiation is needed to solve the problem. This paper presents an estimation of solar radiation using discriminate analysis algorithm (DAA) that it is applied to the output voltage of PV module. The data of daily measured solar radiation, maximum and minimum temperature are obtained from Chuping Weather Station through the web of world weather online for the year of 2019. The maximum and minimum temperature are as predictor variables in the DAA to obtain the daily estimated solar radiation. The result of daily estimated solar radiation is applied to the output voltage of PV module and compared to the output voltage of PV module applied by the daily measured solar radiation using the statistical analysis, they are root mean square error (RMSE) and error percentage. The results show that the estimated and measured solar radiation have RMSE of 0.257 and error percentage of 1.649%. They indicate that the DAA is acceptable to estimate the solar radiation.

    ( 2012)
    Muhammad Irwanto Misrun
    This thesis presents the transformerless photovoltaic (PV) inverter for PV power generation in Perlis to run high AC load. This study involves the data collection of solar radiation and temperature. The data of solar radiation and temperature were measured at the Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy (CERE) Station, Universiti Malaysia Perlis in Kangar, Perlis, Northern Malaysia. These analyzed data were discussed in order to know the potential for PV power generation. The result shows that the average monthly solar radiation was 4862.4 Wh/m2. It is greater than 3 kWh/m2 and indicates that the sky in Perlis was clear and the solar radiation intensity was very high. It indicates that the solar radiation in Perlis gives big potential for PV power generation. In this study the solar radiation was also estimated. The estimation is important to be done if these data are absent, incomplete or inaccessible in an area due to financial, maintenance, calibration requirement of the measuring equipment or institutional limitations. To estimate these data, Hargreaves method, linear regression and a proposed method were used. The proposed method is a combination of Hargreaves method and linear regression, the advantage of the proposed method compared to the linear regression is that the linear regression needs the measured solar radiation and the daily temperature difference, but the proposed method needs the daily temperature difference only. The measured and estimated solar radiations were analyzed using statistical analysis. The results show that the value of coefficient of residual mass (CRM) is closer to zero, it indicates that the methods have high accuracy. The value of root mean squared error (RMSE) is low value, it indicates that the methods have minimal value. The value of percentage error (e) indicates that the proposed method is acceptable and applicable. The solar radiation affects the performance of a PV module. Power of the PV module is influenced by the solar radiation incidents on the surface of PV module. To obtain maximum solar radiation on surface of the PV module, tilt angle of PV module should be determined. It is important to find an optimum tilt angle in order to obtain the optimum performance of PV module (voltage, current and power of PV module). The recommended optimum tilt angle of the PV module from the horizontal surface for Perlis (has latitude 6.290 N) is 6.840. The best performance of PV module was reached when the tilt angle is 6.840. Potential of solar radiation as PV power generation is applied to PV inverters. Normally, the low frequency (50 Hz) inverter uses a transformer that it is bigger in size, heavy, and expensive and also has problem to run a high alternating current (AC) load. The simplest technique to invert direct current (DC) power into AC power is to generate a square wave. However, the harmonic content of the square wave is relatively high, also the efficiency of this waveform is relatively low. For reducing the manufacturing size, weight, and cost, a three-level single phase transformerless PV inverter was designed, which manage to reduce harmonic and improve efficiency. It has successfully run high AC load (30 W resistive lamp, R7S 500 W halogen lamp, 20 W water pump, 66 W refrigerator, 480 W jig saw, 50 W standing fan, 80 W air cooler and personal computer), since its design had a high switching current mode. This new topology was found to reduce current total harmonic distortion (CTHD) of the three-level single phase transformerless PV inverter. In order to optimize the CTHD on AC three-level waveform transformerless PV inverter, it was developed by using a microcontroller PIC16F627A-I/P. This technique could change maximum voltage angle of the AC three-level waveform from 200 to 1800. An AC load applied to the transformerless PV inverter shows that the lowest CTHD was obtained when the maximum voltage angle was 1340. This proposed topology is considered as novel and inventive, since it has obtained a certificate of filing from Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia with application number PI 2012700152. A comparative study of CTHD between measurement and simulation has been conducted and validated using statistical analysis. The result shows that the measurement and simulation was valid. A comparative study of CTHD between the proposed three-level single phase transformerless PV inverter and the market three-level inverters (1000 W power inverter Model DY 8111 SUVPR Series, 1000 W Charger 10A SUVPR Series DY 1000C, 2000 W charger power inverter SUVPR Series DY 2000C and Power inverter 200 W) has been also conducted. The result shows that the CTHD of proposed three-level single phase transformerless PV inverter was lower than the CTHD of the market three-level inverters.

    Photovoltaic (PV) panel are crucial in the conversion of solar irradiance into electrical energy. However, the efficiency of PV panel is indirectly influenced by the surface temperature of the panels. According to typical PV module standards, the effect of panel temperature on efficiency is-0.47 %/°C, which indicates that a rise of 1°C reduces the PV panel's efficiency by 0.47 %. The efficiency of the PV panel achieves its maximum value when the panel temperature reaches 25 ℃, which is the standard test condition (STC). Moreover, a high working temperature can also reduce the lifetime of the PV panel. Based on the limitations that have been highlighted above, this project aims to design and develop a hybrid cooling PV panel by using active and passive cooling system with Arduino UNO R3. In this project, 100 W monocrystalline photovoltaic panel has been selected to analyze the result before and after installation of hybrid cooling system. Active cooling system is a water sprinkler system which is applied in front of the PV panel. Meanwhile, the passive cooling system is a combination of hydrogel beads and the heat-sink cooling system which will be installed behind the PV panel. In result, the average power output of PV panel without cooling was 30.59 W while the average power output of PV panel with hybrid cooling was 34.66 W. Moreover, the average power increased due to cooling was 13.31 %. In a nutshell, the proposed project has the ability to develop a hybrid cooling system to improve the performance and efficiency of the PV panel in order to increase the power output of the panel.

    The Stirling engine is one of the most versatile micro-scale prime movers for combined heat and power applications, adaptable to different levels of heat sources. This study started a unique journey that included developing, experimenting, and analyzing the Gamma-type Stirling engine. Notably, the engine design ingeniously harnesses heat from a customized cooking stove burner powered by liquefied petroleum gas. The engine fabrication resulted in a compression ratio 2.014, accommodating a volumetric capacity of 181 cc. The Stirling engine test used air as the working gas, and the initial conditions were at atmospheric pressure. Stirling engine performance was analyzed using an ideal thermodynamic cycle model and burner efficiency using the water boiling method. The modified burner attains an average temperature of 699.5°C, producing a burner power output of 5.702 kW and a thermal efficiency of 32.7% or around 1.867 kW of heat for operating the engine and cooking activities. Simultaneously, tests of the Stirling engine revealed an average air temperature difference of 146.2°C between the expansion and compression phases. The flywheel rotation speed ranges from 158 to 369 rpm. During testing, the Stirling engine obtained an average thermal efficiency of 31.08%, accompanied by an ideal power spectrum ranging from 0.3 W to 42.6 W. The highlight of this study was the maximum pressure achieved at the end of the heat absorption stage, recorded at 296.1 kPa. Importantly, these findings underscore the promising potential of micro-Combined Heat and Power systems. Integrating the gamma-type Stirling engine with the LPG stove represents novelty and paves the way for further development and advancement in sustainable energy solutions.

    In recent years, the advance usages of non-linear loads have led to the serious power quality problem in the distribution system. Non-linear load will inject the current harmonics and cause power quality problem at Point of Common Coupling (PCC). This problem can be improved by using power filter. Power filter can be divided into passive power filter and active power filter. Passive filter is an appropriate solution to solve power quality problem in term of harmonic mitigation due to a simple circuit, low cost and less energy requirement. However, active power filter (APF) is more suitable due to better performance to solve power quality problem for current harmonics issue. This paper focuses in designing the application of a multi-functional grid-connected solar PV system integrated with DSTATCOM by using Instantaneous Reactive Power (PQ) theory controller to mitigate the current harmonics injected by non-linear load at the distribution system. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to simulate the performance of the multi-functional GCPV based SAPF according to IEEE Standard 519:2014 which THD of the line current at the Pont of Common Coupling (PCC) should be less than 8%.

    The electrical production is the primary performance of any solar photovoltaic (PV) system. The PV panel operating temperature is inversely proportional to the electrical production of the PV panel. The operating temperature of PV panel is influenced by solar radiation absorbed and the ambient temperature. In the present work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method is used to investigate a three-dimensional (3-D) model of a PV panel. It is also essential to estimate the thermal behaviour of the PV panel under various environmental conditions. The primary purpose of this current work is to analyse temperature distribution from the PV panel under given operating conditions. The model geometry is built by using CATIA design software. ANSYS software was simulated the different intensity of solar radiation that applied to the PV panel in order to observe the temperature distribution on each layers of the PV panel. The ambient temperature of the simulation is fixed 35C according to the maximum ambient temperature captured in Malaysia. The simulation results show that an increase in solar radiation intensity along with the PV panel operating temperature increase.

    A simple inverter is constructed by some switching components that connected in half bridge or full bridge circuit. The switching component can be a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), transistor or insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) which is driven by simple technique of pulse wave modulation (PWM). This technique generates a square alternating current (AC) waveform but it is still AC pulse wave with rich harmonic production and it is not good for the long life of electric devices. A multilevel inverter is better than the previous inverter. Some techniques have been developed to generate multilevel inverter for main objective to generated AC waveform toward sinusoidal waveform and reduce the harmonic. Also, an inverter is constructed by a transformer which is big in size and produce losses and it can increase the harmonic. This paper presents a nine-level transformerless photovoltaic powered inverter (TPVPI) system using technique of equal maximum phase delay time. It is constructed by two main elements. The first is photovoltaic (PV) module as a main direct current (DC) voltage source and the second is four full bridge circuits in cascaded connection. The proposed technique is that each two MOSFETs for cross position in the same full bridge have a same pattern of pulse wave for the period of 0.02 s. It has a phase delay time of 0.00111 s for generating the nine-level AC waveform.
