This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2020 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, Cairo University, language: English, abstract: This thesis presents a complete reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis of the variable renewable energy (VRE) systems. Three operating concepts of the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are considered based on the acceptable speed range of generators, while seven practical layouts of large-scale grid-connected systems are considered for the solar-PV systems. Elaborated RAM analysis of each system associated with each operating concept for the WECS and each layout of the solar-PV systems is presented starting from the subassemblies level to the subsystem level then the overall system. This thesis is purposed to describe the method of reliability, availability, and maintainability analysis of repairable and non-repairable systems using the exponential PDFs. It is also aimed to explore the method for improving the availability of these systems by managing the effort using availability importance measures of each subassembly. This analysis will also be utilized to studying the criticality of the subassemblies or subsystems of the system in order to continuous improvement. After doing this, this thesis also extends to look into the overall system availability. This analysis is a good tool for helping to identify the critical subsystems or subassemblies of the system that need more attention for improvement.

Book excerpt: This book discusses dynamic modeling, simulation, and control strategies for Photovoltaic (PV) stand-alone systems during variation of environmental conditions. Moreover, the effectiveness of the implemented Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques and the employed control strategy are evaluated during variations of solar irradiance and cell temperature. The simulation results are based on the reliability of the MPPT techniques applied in extracting the maximum power from the PV system during the rapid variation of the environmental conditions. The authors review two MPPT techniques implemented in PV systems, namely the perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT Technique and the Incremental Conductance (InCond) MPPT technique. These two MPPT techniques were simulated by the MATLAB/Simulink and the results response of the PV array from voltage, current, and power are compared to the effect of solar irradiation and temperature change.

Download or read book Extending Performance and Evaluating Risks of PV Systems Failure Using a Fault Tree and Event Tree Approach written by and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance and reliability of photovoltaic (PV) systems are important issues in the overall evaluation of a PV plant and its components. While performance is connected to the amount of energy produced by the PV installation in the working environmental conditions, reliability impacts the availability of the system to produce the expected amount of energy. In both cases, the evaluation should be done considering information and data coming from indoor as well as outdoor tests. In this paper a way of re-thinking performance, giving it a probabilistic connotation, and connecting the two concepts of performance and reliability is proposed. The paper follows a theoretical approach and discusses the way to obtaining such information, facing benefits and problems. The proposed probabilistic performance accounts for the probability of the system to function correctly, thus passing through the complementary evaluation of the probability of system malfunctions and consequences. Scenarios have to be identified where the system is not functioning properly or at all. They are expected to be combined in a probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) based approach, providing not only the required probability, but also being capable of giving a prioritization of the risks and the most dominant scenario associated to a specific situation. This approach can offer the possibility to highlight the most critical parts of a PV system, as well as providing support in design activities identifying weak connections.
