Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
Electricity production using concentrated solar power is based on the heat-mechanic-electric energy conversion process. Parabolic trough, the dish/engine, the chimney, and the power tower can be listed as thermal power technologies [ 2 ]. The parabolic collector and Stirling engine and generator is a good candidate for investigation.
The solar energy measuring sensor is adjusted in such a way that the direction of the sun's radiation to the optical concentrator is the same as the direction of the sensor so that the solar power meter measures the sun's radiant energy with higher accuracy.
This decentralized approach minimizes the impact of shading or module mismatch, ensuring optimal energy harvest from each panel . MLPE for PV systems. Solar power optimizers, on the other hand, address similar challenges by optimizing the power output at the module level [3, 9, 10].
The results show that the use of the SP1848-27145 module increases the temperature difference of the hot and cold side by about 4 °C and improves the power generation by about 176 %. Köysal et al. conducted an experimental investigation for a power generation system that employs a linear Fresnel lens as a concentrator.
An alternative way to generate electricity from solar energy is through the use of generators comprising Stirling engines with a parabolic collector. This study describes a parabolic collector with Stirling engine and investigates the design of a linear mobile generator for these systems.
