Quote:The book provides a comprehensive review of developments in all aspects of solar photovoltaic technology in a single volume. It discusses maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for achieving maximum possible power, robust control to maintain stable operation under varying internal as well as the ambient environment, inverter control for constant frequency operation, and automating the maintenance of photovoltaic solar plants.
This book:

✔ Presents modeling methods based on mathematical and physical principles for solar photovoltaic cells, power quality analysis of rooftop grid-connected PV, and PV generation analyzed by bidirectional long short-term memory networks (BiLSTM) to evaluate the performance reliability of the bifacial module and the control system of the synchronous reference CCVSI for active power injection
✔ Provides an overview of SPECS control, various control loops, control algorithms, controllers, and their impact on the prosumer and the smart grid and discusses instantaneous power theory (pq theory)
✔ Covers control techniques of power electronic converters, optimization techniques, and management of the grid-connected solar PV arrays, qualification testing of bifacial modules as per IEC- 61215: 2021 and IEC 61730, including analytical approach elaborated for the performance of a building-integrated solar PV/T system
✔ Discusses and comprehensively reviews degradation mechanisms, characterization techniques, and occurrence frequencies based on field testing, long-term analyses of PV installations, harmonic compensation, and the enhancement of Power Quality for the entire system, a novel approach of developing an effective and systematic brownout procedure and a novel game theory auctioning framework for trading energy in smart grids and explains Gbest-guided Artificial Bee Colony (GABC) optimization
✔ Includes real-life case studies

It will serve as an ideal reference text for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, environmental engineering, and renewable energy.
