How Will the Solar Eclipse Affect Your Solar Panels’ Performance? – CNET

The solar eclipse on April 8 will have hordes of Americans’ heads craning skyward in their eclipse glasses. But this rare event might lead you to have more worries than just the possibility of damaging your vision.  With an energy ecosystem increasingly fueled by the power of sunlight, the sky going dark at midday is a big deal. “The impacts on solar generation are actually quite significant,” Barry Mather, chief engineer at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, told CNET. Fortunately, because solar eclipses are extraordinarily predictable, grid operators have had plenty of…

Advanced efficient energy management strategy based on state machine control for multi-sources PV-PEMFC-batteries … – Nature.com

Abstract This article offers a PV-PEMFC-batteries energy management strategy (EMS) that aims to meet the following goals: keep the DC link steady at the standard value, increase battery lifespan, and meet power demand. The suggested multi-source renewable system (MSRS) is made to meet load demand while using extra power to fill batteries. The major energy source for the MSRS is photovoltaic, and fuzzy logic MPPT is used to guarantee that the PV operates at optimal efficiency under a variety of irradiation conditions. The suggested state machine control consists of 15…
