Ecosense’s Solar PV Training and research system enables
user to learn about Solar PV standalone technology. Using this system, a user
gains knowledge in three fields of Solar PV Standalone system:
a.) Physics of Solar PV Panels — I-V and P-V
characteristics, series, and parallel connection of solar panels effect of
irradiation, effect of temperature, effect of shadow, effect of tilting of
panels, effect of geographical location etc.
b.) Components and Assembly of standalone system —
use of blocking diode, use of bypass diode, use of solar charge controller, use
of solar inverter, difference between MPPT and PWM charge controllers, AC load,
DC load, battery charging/ discharging characteristics, assembly of several
components and power flow calculations in each branch.
c.) Research in PV systems — Ecosense separately
provides a research unit along with standalone experimental system. User can
initiate research in the area of maximum power point tracking using this unit.
It has provision of providing automatic as well as manual gate signals to
charge controller. User can use his/ her own MPPT algorithm with any of the
controller to provide manual gate signals.
