EEPW 3300 Energy Conversion System

STUDY OF SOLAR PANEL

Aim:

To study about the Solar Panel.

Theory:

Four types of PV cells

• Selective – Emitter Cell (SEC)

• Emitter wrap- through cells (EWC)

• Thin Film Photovoltaic

• Single Crystal Silicon Cells

Single-Crystal Silicon Cell Construction

• The majority of PV cells in use are the single-crystal silicon type.

• Silica (SiO2) is the compound used to make the cells. It is first refined and

purified, then melted down and re-solidified so that it can be arranged in

perfect wafers for electric conduction. These wafers are very thin.

• The wafers then have either Phosphorous or Boron added to make each wafer

either a negative type layer or a positive type layer respectively. Used together

these two types treated of crystalline silicon form the p-n junction which is the

heart of the solar– electrical reaction.

• Many of these types of cells are joined together to make arrays, the size of each

array is dependent upon the amount of sunlight in a given area.

How does a cell become a module

• A solar cell is the basic building block of a PV system.

• A typical cell produces .5 to 1V of electricity.

• Solar cells are combined together to become modules or if large enough,

known as an array.

Page 31: MINISTRY OF MANPOWER NIZWA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING · PDF fileQuality Sub-Manual for Electrical & Electronics Laboratories and Workshops Nizwa College of Technology Page

Nizwa College of Technology | Quality Sub–Manual for E&E Section Labs and Workshop 31

• A structure to point the modules towards the sun is necessary, as well as

electricity converters, which convert DC power to AC.

• All of these components allow the system to power a water pump, appliances,

commercial sites, or even a whole community.

• The photoelectric effect relies on the principle that whenever light strikes the

surface of certain metals electrons are released.

• In the p-n junction the n-type wafer treated with phosphorus has extra electrons

which flow into the holes in the p-type layer that has been treated with boron.

• Connected by an external circuit electrons flow from the n-side to create

electricity and end up in the p-side.

The Photoelectric Effect:

The photoelectric effect relies on the principle that whenever light strikes the

surface of certain metals electrons are released.

Nizwa College of Technology | Quality Sub–Manual for E&E Section Labs and Workshop 34

• The output current of this reaction is DC (direct) and the amount of energy

produced is directly proportional to the amount of sunlight put in.

Cells only have an average efficiency of 30%

How PV Systems Work

Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems

Grid system

• PV systems are like any other electrical power generating systems, except the

equipment used to generate the power is different.

• Specific components required, and may include major components such as a

DC-AC power inverter, batteries, auxiliary energy sources, sometimes the

specified electrical load (appliances), wiring, surge protection and other

hardware.

• Batteries are often used in PV systems for the purpose of storing energy

produced by the PV array during the day, and to supply it to electrical loads as

needed (during the night and periods of cloudy weather). Also to keep the

system at full operational power

Stand-Alone PV Systems

Page 35: MINISTRY OF MANPOWER NIZWA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING · PDF fileQuality Sub-Manual for Electrical & Electronics Laboratories and Workshops Nizwa College of Technology Page

Nizwa College of Technology | Quality Sub–Manual for E&E Section Labs and Workshop 35

• Stand-alone PV systems are designed to operate independent of the electric

utility grid

• Supply DC and/or AC electrical loads

• The simplest type of stand-alone PV system is a direct-coupled system, where

the DC output of a PV module or array is directly connected to a DC load

• Since there are no batteries involved in direct load systems, stand-alone PV

systems are suitable for such processes as heating and pumping water,

ventilation fans, etc…Although they can only work in the day.

• Stand-Alone systems may also power AC loads such as batteries. Like the AC

adapter which powers your laptop.

SCR CHARACTERISTICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Aim:

To a) Determine V-I Characteristics of SCR

b) Study the Phase Control using SCR

Apparatus Required:

S.

No. Name of the Apparatus Type / Description Range / Value Qty

Theory:

The acronym SCR means "Silicon Controlled Rectifer". This is a thyristor enabling

the current flowing only in one direction. The bistable action of this component can

be explained through the analysis of its structure.The figure.a shows the symbol of a

SCR with PNPN structure and the circuit equivalent to two transistors coming from

the equivalent structure of the thyristor.

Figure a

If the circuit of two transistors is powered with the circuit shown in the figure b,the

rest current IA is equal to zero because the base of T2 is not powered.

Page 37: MINISTRY OF MANPOWER NIZWA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING · PDF fileQuality Sub-Manual for Electrical & Electronics Laboratories and Workshops Nizwa College of Technology Page

Nizwa College of Technology | Quality Sub–Manual for E&E Section Labs and Workshop 37

Figure b

If a positive pulse is sent to the emitter base of the transistor TI, this transistor starts

turning on enabling T2 to turn on; the emitter base of T2 is already biased by the

voltage VAK. When T2 turns on, the base of T1 is powered by the same transistor.

Thus, even when the voltage pulse has disappeared from the base of T1,the SCR goes

on turning on if the current IA ensures a sufficient holding "level". In this case the

operation of the two transistors is described by the following formulae: IB1 = IC2;

and IC1 = IB2N.From a theoretical point of view, this switch should be kept closed

until the main current is reduced to zero, but it opens at a value of current intensity

higher than zero; this value is determined by the regeneration limit. The model with

two transistors explains three characteristics of SCRs:

1. a gate current is necessary to control the starting of turn-on process;

2. this process can be held by a minimum current called "holding current";

3. reducing the main current below the holding value will turn the device off.

The figure c shows the main voltage-vs-current characteristic of a SCR without Gate

signal.

Figure c

As it is shown in this figure, the operation of a SCR in conditions of negative voltage

is analogous to that of a standard diode.

Page 38: MINISTRY OF MANPOWER NIZWA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING · PDF fileQuality Sub-Manual for Electrical & Electronics Laboratories and Workshops Nizwa College of Technology Page

Nizwa College of Technology | Quality Sub–Manual for E&E Section Labs and Workshop 38

When the polarization is positive (anode positive with respect to cathode), the SCR in

open-circuit condition is crossed by a faint leakage current having the same value of

the inverse current (intensity of approximately 1 µA). As the forward voltage rises, an

avalanche point called VBO (breakover) is reached; from this point the current starts

rising quickly and the voltage across SCR suddenly decreases to a very low value

called forward ON voltage (VAKO). When the thyristor turns on, it has a very low

impedance, the voltage across it is very low and it does not depend on current very

much (approximately I or 2 V). Using the gate will enable to control the breakover

voltage. The figure d shows the breakover curves versus the gate current.

which SCR fires, gives the value of Forward blocking voltage.

4) Remove the Vgk supply.

5) Reduce the Vak voltage and note down the point at which the SCR is turned off,

that current is

called Holding current.

6) Again make the device ON by using the gate voltage, Vgk.

8) Vary the Vak voltage and note down the Ia current and plot the characteristics as

shown in the

model graph.

9) The On‐state resistance can be calculated by using the formula

2. Connect the probe A of the channel CHI of the oscilloscope across the resistor REI

between the jacks 23 and 24. Thus the triggering pulses of the SCR generated by

the modulator, can be displayed. As it can be verified, they are synchronized with

the line voltage and they have an amplitude of approximately 800 mv.

3. Now turn the switch 12 of the· modulator to ENABLE and shift the probe across

the load between the jacks 24 and ground.

4. Act on the potentiometer P4 and analyze how the trigger varies on the positive

half-period.
