In 1839, a French physicist Edmund Becquerel proposed that few materials have the ability to produce electricity when exposed to sunlight. But Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect and the nature of light in 1905. Photoelectric effect state that when photons or sunlight strikes to a metal surface flow of electrons will take place. Later photoelectric effect became the basic principle for the technology of photovoltaic power generation. The first PV module was manufactured by Bell laboratories in 1954.
Some 5000 years ago, firstly wind power was used to navigate ships in the Nile. The Europeans used it to pump water and grind grains in 1700s and 1800s.The first windmill which generated electricity was installed in 1890 in U.S. A …show more content…
This is the reason why renewable energy sources have become more important these days. Few other Reasons include advantages like abundant availability in nature, eco-friendly and recyclable. Many Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydel and tidal are there. Among these renewable sources solar and wind energy are the world’s fastest growing energy resources. With No emission of pollutants, energy conversion is done through wind and PV cells. Day by day, the demand for electricity is rapidly increasing. But the available base load plants are not able to supply electricity as per demand. So, these energy sources can be used to bridge the gap between supply and demand during peak loads. This kind of small scale stand-alone power …show more content…
The two major technologies are wafer-based silicon and thin-film. Crystalline silicon solar cell is more efficient than thin-film solar cell but that is more expensive to produce. They are most commonly uses in large to medium electric applications like grid connected PV power generation. Mono-crystalline solar cell is manufactured by pure semi-conducting materials so it has higher efficiency (above 17% in industrial production and 24% in research laboratories. Poly-crystalline solar cell is slightly less efficient than Mono-crystalline but less in cost. In thin-film solar cell very thin layers of semiconducting materials are uses so they can be produces in large quantity at lower cost but it efficiency is less. Hybrid generation system uses more than one source, so that we can extract energy from different sources at the same time which enhances the efficiency. The working of PV-Wind hybrid system is understood from many topologies that can be used for the hybridization of more than one system and also about advantages and disadvantages of hybrid system. From and basic details of PV cell, PV module, PV array[1-3].Also, the behavior of PV modules at varying environmental conditions like solar irradiation and temperature are studied. Behavior of PV module during partial shading condition and also how it’s bad effects can be minimized. The partial shading phenomenon is used. Photovoltaic cell harnesses the solar energy which
