Team presentation :
The “Application of Photovoltaic Equipment (AEP)” team is one of the research teams of the “Renewable Energy Equipments (EER)” division of UDES/EPST CDER since 2005. This team is made up of 7 researchers, two engineers. The research activities carried out by the members of the AEP team are structured around two main axes:
The first focuses on the design, study, production and monitoring of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems and/or connected to the electrical network intended for various applications (domestic electrification, public lighting, water pumping, etc. etc). The second axis concerns the development of energy management systems in Smart home or Smart Building – Smart City – Smart Grid whose vocation is a better use of energy while promoting self-consumption and achieving a high degree self-sufficiency on the one hand and minimizing the impact of residential on the electricity network on the other hand, with the ultimate goal of achieving the 'Near Zero Energy Building'.
Tasks
- Modeling and simulation of components (solar cells and modules) and photovoltaic systems,
- Characterization of equipments (PV modules, inverters, regulators, etc.) and photovoltaic systems,
- Development of equipment control algorithm (regulation, static conversion, distribution and energy management),
- Production of electrical energy from stand-alone and grid-connected PV systems,
- Performance analysis of photovoltaic solar energy production systems,
- Monitoring and control of local and remote photovoltaic systems
- Development of smart management systems (smart home, positive energy housing, smart city, smart grid),
- Microgrids
- Expertise and advice for setting up and monitoring photovoltaic power plants
In summary: Improving the optoelectronic process of converting / conditioning and storing photovoltaic solar energy.
Ongoing project
- Project 1: Intelligent energy management system in a home with a view for its integration into an intelligent micro-grid (Smart Micro-Grid).
- Project 2: Application of Smart Grid technology for smart energy management in a city.
Skills domains
- Study and sizing of autonomous PV systems connected to the electrical network
- Characterization of PV modules of different technologies
- Experimental tests on photovoltaic inverters connected to the electrical network
- Performance evaluation of control techniques applied to different structures of static converters in PV systems.
- Diagnosis and maintenance of PV installations
- Solar pumping
