Deakin University School of Engineering SEE718: Renewable Energy Systems Project Title: Design, Modeling and Control of Photovoltaic Systems This assessment task requires students to conduct a project related to the design and simulation of renewable energy system and submit individual project report. Students will be given a project to complete in a group during the trimester. The students will form a project team of up to three members. The students will develop the model as team and be able to share the developed model to produce results and performance analysis. However, students need to have individual contribution on project planning, literature review, methodology, presentation, analysis and description of results. The PV system generates variable power as the solar insolation changes. Therefore, it is necessary to have power electronic converters with associated controllers to extract maximum power and regulate the output of the PV system. The project works include the following: 1. Literature review on  PV cell technologies  Mathematical model of PV cell  Maximum power point tracking methods  PV system configurations, Power converters (DC-DC converters, bidirectional dcdc converters and & inverters) for PV system and their control strategies  Impacts of PV system on the distribution grid and their mitigation techniques 2. Design and develop a model using Matlab/SimpowerSystem of a single phase PV system to process 5 kW of power at 240 V, 50 Hz, single phase phase ac. Determine (i) Number of modules in a string and number of string in an array. (ii) Inverter and boost converter specifications and (iii) One line diagram of the PV System. You can use PV module available in the Matlab demo model to develop your own model Single-Phase, 240 Vrms, 3500 W Transformerless Grid-Connected PV Array 3. Design and develop a model using Matlab/SimpowerSystem of a PV system to process 50 kW of power at 415 V, 50 Hz, three phase ac. Determine (i) Number of modules in a stringand number of string in an array. (ii) Inverter and boost converter specifications and (iii) One line diagram of the PV System. You can use PV module available in the matlab demo model to develop your own model 100-kW Grid-Connected PV Array (Detailed Model) – For three phase system 4. Performance evaluation, analysis and discussion of the results for the developed models Students are required to (a) Finalise the team members by Thursday, July 14, 2016 (b) Submit an initial project plan (one project plan for each team) by week 3 (Due date: July 31, 2016, 5:00 PM) (c) submit individual project report which include;  Final project plan  Literature review  Mathematical modeling, analysis and design,  Simulation model (working models need to be included)  Result analysis/discussion and conclusion Individual project report is due by Week 10, September 25th , (Sunday) 2016 by 11:55 PM It is very important to attend all the project discussion sessions and labs for the successful completion of the project.Structure for Initial Project Plan 1.
