  A SIMULATION STUDY OF THE EFFICIENCY OF HIGH VOLTAGE α-Si STAND-ALONE PV INSTALLATIONS

  By Carlos Armenta-Deu, David Arroyo del Saz

  Abstract: The paper analyzes different configurations, direct-PV, PV-battery, either with PWM or MPPregulator, and hybrid-PV, of stand-alone PV installation operating with high voltage α-Si panels thatsupplies energy to a DC-AC external circuit. Global efficiency is determined as a function of voltageconversion ratio and individual element efficiency. The paper concludes that direct-PV is the mostefficient mode with average performance ratio (PR) of 92.2% followed by PV-battery with MPPT,68.3% of efficiency, and PWM …
