Improvement of perturb and observe MPPT method for photovoltaic systems: case of study
Maximum power point tracking system is widely used to maximise output power of photovoltaic array. A crucial issue of this system is an algorithm of maximum power point seeking. Well–known perturb and observe technique is optimal solution in terms of the ratio of cost and efficiency. However, this algorithm has some disadvantages such as oscillation around a maximum power point and decrease in ...

The Water-Energy Nexus
Different types of electricity generation require differing amounts of water. Except for photovoltaic solar and wind power, which require no water to produce energy. However there is a substantial water requirement for all forms of electricity generation in making the raw materials and constructing and maintaining the plant. Thus although wind-power has a very low water ...

Changing the Business Climate in 2015
The business of climate change has changed. Six years ago, when an international climate treaty in Copenhagen seemed distinctly possible, there was still a discernible gap between the concept of a low-carbon global economy and the capital market’s ability to deliver it. Nascent and costly clean energy technologies, skepticism of climate science and a still deeply-embedded reliance on coal ...
