| Summary: | Singapore, as a tropical country located on the equator, has strong sunlight that is
advantageous for solar photovoltaic applications. Renewable solar energy has been
identified as a new emerging industry and Research & Development (R&D) area in
Singapore. The report provides the details for the development of a grid-connected
electricity supply system by using solar energy. In the report, a literature review of
Photovoltaic applications and its related theory were included. The report can be divided
into two parts. The first part was on the research and implementation of DC-DC
converter, DC-AC inverter and a feedback system to maintain output voltage. The
second part was focused on Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of Photovoltaic
(PV) module. Details of the testing procedures and results for the design systems
implemented were included in the report for discussions and verification. Lastly, a
conclusion was given to summarize the project and recommendations for enhancement
to improve the systems designed were also included. |
