The integration of renewable energy (RE) sources is increasing day by day because of their
permanent existence and the limited quantities of fossil fuels. One of the most promising RE …

In many countries, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are regarded as one of the best
renewable energy (RE) sources in terms of cost of installation, return of investment (ROI) …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are susceptible to lightning strikes. During a lightning strike, an
induced overvoltage is generated in the PV system. This overvoltage can damage the …

Up to now, conventional proportional-integral (PI) controllers are the most common DC-bus
voltage regulation strategy used in grid-tie inverter systems. The popularity of PI controllers …

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) as an alternative source of energy is
increasing continuously. This is due to various advantages of RES over traditional energy …

In Photovoltaic Systems (PVSs), Bypass Diode (BPD) and Blocking Diode (BLD) are used.
However, if BPD and BLD are damaged by induced lightning, the diodes' impedance may …

Photovoltaic (PV) arrays are usually installed in open areas; hence, they are vulnerable to
lightning strikes that can result in cell degradation, complete damage, service disruption …

In a solar power generation module, when a bypass diode (BPD) with a resistance ranging
between 0.1-10 Ω is damaged by a lightning surge, a circulating current flows through the …

The frequency behaviour of a grounding grid cannot be neglected in insulation coordination
studies. This paper proposes a new approach, which consists of calculating the frequency …

Recently, failures in photovoltaic systems (PVSs) caused by lightning damage have been
increasing. When lightning strikes a PVS, the bypass diode (BPD), which is a protection …
