This paper describes PEA's programme on design, implementation and evaluation of pilot hybrid renewable energy systems for electrification of remote villages in Thailand. It is proposed that three hybrid energy systems namely, PV/Microhydro/Diesel/Battery, PV/Diesel/Battery and PV batteryless...

With high penetration of PV generation in power grid distribution systems, solar irradiance fluctuations introduced by moving clouds may lead to variations in voltage and power flow in the grid and may affect the stability of the grid system. Predicting the characteristics of the fluctuations...

Solar desalination systems are approaching technical and cost viability for producing fresh-water, a commodity of equal importance to energy in many arid and coastal regions worldwide. Solar photovoltaics (PV) represent an ideal, clean alternative to fossil fuels, especially for remote...
