Performance Enhancement and Control of Photovoltaic Systems brings together the latest advances in photovoltaic control and integration, with various embedded technologies applied to stand alone and grid connected systems, in normal and abnormal operating conditions, with new approaches intended to overcome a number of critical limitations in using PV technology.

The book begins by introducing modern photovoltaic (PV) systems, system integration, materials, and thermodynamic analysis for improved performance, before examining applications in industrial processes, artificial neural network technology, and economic analysis of PV systems. In-depth chapters then demonstrate the use of advanced control and optimization techniques, covering the use of new embedded technologies, through different applications such as MPPT controllers, solar trackers, cleaning systems, cooling systems, and monitoring systems. Applications of photovoltaic energy systems in distributed generation, microgrid, and smart grid systems will be considered.

This book is of interest to all those with an interest in photovoltaics, control, embedded systems, and renewable energy, including researchers, scientists, advanced students, engineers, R&D professionals, and other industry personnel.

• Presents the latest materials and thermodynamic analysis techniques for improved PV performance
• Provides detailed descriptions and analyses of embedded systems and digital technologies
