CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 STATE OF ART Photovoltaic (PV) generation is becoming increasingly important as a renewable source since it offers many advantages such as incurring no fuel costs‚ not being polluting‚ requiring little maintenance and emitting no noise among others. But still‚ these modules have relatively low conversion efficiency due to their nonlinear and temperature-dependent voltage-current and voltage power characteristics. Power generated by PV generators and injected into the

Electrical engineering - Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 13 Electrical engineering From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity‚ electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power

A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Assemblies of cells used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy from sunlight‚ are known as solar panels. The energy generated from these solar modules‚ referred to as solar power‚ is an example of solar energy. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the practical

Crystal Properties and Growth of Semiconductors In studying solid state electronic devices we are interested primarily in the electrical behavior of solids. However‚ we shall see in later chapters that the transport of charge through a metal or a semiconductor depends not only on the properties of the electron but also on the arrangement of atoms in the solid. In the first chapter we shall discuss some of the physical properties of semiconductors compared with other solids‚ the atomic arrangements

Assignment On Engineering Materials (Glass) Introduction Glass is a non-crystalline solid material. Glasses are typically brittle‚ and often optically transparent. The most prevalent type of glass‚ used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels‚ is soda-lime glass‚ made of about 75% silica (SiO2) plus Na2O‚ CaO‚ and several minor additives. Often‚ the term glass is used in a restricted sense to refer to this specific use. [pic] [pic]Roman Cage Cup from the 4th century A.D. In
