Constructing accurate equivalent electrical circuit models of lithium iron phosphate and lead–acid battery cells for solar home system applications
(2018-09-07)
The past few years have seen strong growth of solar-based off-grid energy solutions such as Solar Home Systems (SHS) as a means to ameliorate the grave problem of energy poverty. Battery storage is an essential component ...
Estimating battery lifetimes in Solar Home System design using a practical modelling methodology
(2018-10-15)
The rapid increase in the adoption of Solar Home Systems (SHS) in recent times hopes to ameliorate the global problem of energy poverty. The battery is a vital but usually the most expensive part of an SHS; owing to the ...
Physical Integration of PV-Battery System: Advantages, Challenges, and Thermal Model
(2016-04-04)
We present a novel approach to physically integrate a PV module, dc/dc converter, dc/ac microinverter and a battery pack. The main advantages and challenges to realize this integration are presented. Since the thermal ...
A modeling methodology to evaluate the impact of temperature on Solar Home Systems for rural electrification
(2018)
Solar Home Systems (SHS) have recently gained prominence as the most promising solution for increasing energy access in remote, off-grid communities. However, the higher than standard testing conditions (STC) temperatures ...
Selecting a suitable battery technology for the photovoltaic battery integrated module
(2019-10-31)
The use of batteries is indispensable in stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the physical integration of a battery pack and a PV panel in one device enables this concept while easing the installation and system ...
Quantifying the benefits of a solar home system-based DC microgrid for rural electrification
(2019)
Off-grid solar home systems (SHSs) currently constitute a major source of providing basic electricity needs in un(der)-electrified regions of the world, with around 73 million households having benefited from off-grid solar ...
Exploring the boundaries of Solar Home Systems (SHS) for off-grid electrification: Optimal SHS sizing for the multi-tier framework for household electricity access
(2019-04-15)
With almost 1.1 billion people lacking access to electricity, solar-based off-grid products like Solar Home Systems (SHS) have become a promising solution to provide basic electricity needs in un(der)-electrified regions. ...
Review of residential PV-storage architectures
(2016)
This paper focuses on the most common PV-storage architectures that are designed for residential applications and that incorporate storage devices like batteries, hydrogen systems, supercapacitors, and flywheels. The main ...
The long road to universal electrification: A critical look at present pathways and challenges
(2020)
Nearly 840 million people still lack access to electricity, while over a billion more have an unreliable electricity connection. In this article, the three different electrification pathways—grid extension, centralized ...
Physical integration of a photovoltaic-battery system: A thermal analysis
(2017-12-15)
Solar-battery systems are still expensive, bulky, and space consuming. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel device that combines all the components of a solar-battery system in one device. This device might help ...
