TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of energy storage in renewable energy systems is presented, which can reduce power fluctuations, enhance the system flexibility, and enable the storage and dispatching of the electricity generated by variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
Abstract: In this paper, we present an overview of energy storage in renewable energy systems. In fact, energy storage is a dominant factor. It can reduce power fluctuations, enhances the system flexibility, and enables the storage and dispatching of the electricity generated by variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Different storage technologies are used in electric power systems. They can be chemical, electrochemical, mechanical, electromagnetic or thermal. Energy storage facility is comprised of a storage medium, a power conversion system and a balance of plant. In this work, an application to photovoltaic and wind electric power systems is made. The results obtained under Matlab/Simulink are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the development of a GSM and ZigBee based smart meter, which can measure the energy and send the information to the service provider, who can store this information and notify the consumer through SMS messages or through the internet.
Abstract: The demand for energy is increasing as a result of the growth in both population and industrial development. To improve the energy efficiency, consumers need to be more aware of their energy consumption. In recent years, utilities have started developing new electric energy meters which are known as smart meters. A smart meter is a digital energy meter that measures the consumption of electrical energy and provides other additional information as compared to the traditional energy meter. The aim is to provide the consumer and supplier an easy way to monitor the energy. Smart meters are considered a key component of the smart grid as these will allow more interactivity between the consumers and the provider. Smart meters will enable two-way and real-time communication between the consumers and the provider. Considering the increase of electricity demand in Saudi Arabia, smart meters can decrease the overall energy consumption. This paper presents the development of a GSM and ZigBee based smart meter. This meter can measure the energy and send the information to the service provider, who can store this information and notify the consumer through SMS messages or through the internet.

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for modeling, control and optimization of a photovoltaic pumping system which contains a pv generator, DC-DC boost converter, MPPT controller, DC AC inverter and a BLDC motor is presented.
Abstract: In this paper, we present an approach for modeling, control and optimization of a photovoltaic pumping system which contains a pv generator, DC-DC boost converter, MPPT controller, DC-AC inverter and a BLDC motor. We use an intelligent control method for searching the maximum power point (MPP). This method uses a fuzzy logic controller applied to a drive a DC-DC converter to an optimal operating point using PV panel's measured variables. The PWM signals are generated by the interaction of the motor speed closed-loop system and the current hysteresis. The motor reference current is compared with the motor speed feedback signal. The considered model has been implemented in Matlab/simulink environment. The results show the effectiveness of the proposed method to increase the performance of the water pumping system.

TL;DR: In this article, an MPPT control "Perturb and observe" P & O has been implemented on a DSPACE 1104 wind turbine to determine the law of open loop control (power versus the duty cycle for different values of wind speed and load).
Abstract: The objective of this article is to study experimentally optimizing of a PMSG wind turbine connected to a DC-DC converter (Boost) and a resistive load. For this, tests were conducted to determine the law of open loop control (power versus the duty cycle for different values of wind speed and load). The results showed that the power passes through a maximum point. In order to extract the maximum power, for different values of wind speeds and load, an MPPT control "Perturb and Observe" P & O has been implemented on a DSPACE 1104. The experimental results showed the performance of the method suggested.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the study of the dust characteristics and its effect on the performance of street photovoltaic cells in Baghdad-Iraq, where a sample of accumulated dust on the surface of the solar panels at height 26 meters have been microscopy examined with 100x magnification.
Abstract: This paper deals with the study of the dust characteristics and its effect on the performance of street photovoltaic cells in Baghdad-Iraq. Sample of accumulated dust on the surface of the solar panels at height 26 meters have been microscopy examined with 100x magnification. The results show that, varies in size, shape and disruption. The morphology of dust particles has irregular forms, tends to be spherical and not all of them are completely opaque. VOC (group of carbon-based chemicals that easily evaporate at room temperature), which is most of them comes from the refineries causes a large adhesion to the dust particles in the installed solar panel.
