Current power systems creates environmental impacts as well as global warming due to utilisation of fossil fuels, especially coal, as carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere. It is therefore a fundamental concern today to be able to bring higher percentages of renewable electricity into the energy mix as these sources are climate-frindly and unlimited. However, intermittent nature of power output from renewable energy sources, in particular wind and solar, introduces potential technical impacts that affect quality of power observed including voltage fluctuations, power fluctuations, overloading of distribution transformers and voltage and current harmonics injection into the network. This study developed a simulation model with power system simulation software PSS Sincal to investigate the potential adverse impact of large-scale renewable energy (RE) penetration into the Rockhampton power networks, Queensland, Australia. From the model analyses, it has been clearly evident that large-scale RE integration not only influence in the low voltage distribution network but it also influence in the transmission, subtransmission and high voltage (HV) distribution network in terms of power quality issues such as voltage fluctuations, overloading of transformers and injection of harmonics.

PGEL is the only utility company in the country operating as a solar mini grid service provider for five years. Its pioneering experience has become a learning platform for other private investors, financing and development agencies, in addition to the policy makers. Some of the national clean energy policy decisions for off-grid rural electrification business models are being made using the experience gained from solar mini grid service to Enam Nahar Market. It is observed that the solar PV hybrid is a viable technical option for rural electrification of rural markets; however, a discounted loan term of 15 years minimum is needed to keep such investments attractive and profitable to the private investors.

Photovoltaic Module has non-linear current-voltage characteristics. The solar cell has only one point at which solar cell gives maximum power called maximum power point (MPP) of a photovoltaic array varies depending on the irradiance levels, array voltage and cell temperature. This paper proposed a highly efficient technique to track the maximum power point at different irradiance levels. This technique is based on Arduino based control unit to control the pulse width modulated DC-DC SEPIC converter. The main attractive feature of this technique is lower complexity, low cost, low input and output current ripple and high efficiency. Due to Ardinuo based calculation, this technique ensured maximum power extract under all conditions. A simulation has been done to charge 12 volt lead acid battery by 100 watts (STP100P6) PV panels in Matlab/Simulink. The simulation result has been experimentally verified at different irradiance level.

In 2006, there was a significant numbers of schools in rural Sabah in Malaysia that had no access to 24-hours electricity. Extension of grid electricity networks becomes uneconomical because of the geographical conditions of these areas and the low electrical energy density demand of the population. Malaysia's rural development policies, therefore, emphasizes on the need to improve the learning and living condition at the rural schools. The abundant solar energy resource in the region is used for providing alternative power supply for these schools. 160 schools in rural Sabah were installed with solar photovoltaic (PV)-diesel hybrid systems. Even though the systems have been in operation for some years, knowledge informing the systems performance is difficult to find. Thus, understanding the system operation is a highly valuable experience and lessons can be learned for implementation of the rural electrification program (REP). This paper describes the finding from a field study at 11 solar PV-diesel hybrid systems. It highlighted some parameters that define the reliability of a solar PV system. The solar PV systems installed at schools in rural Sabah were found to be reliable. They reduced dependency on the diesel fuel consumption and fully utilized clean energy from the sun. It is essential to have reliable solar PV system that can provide sufficient energy for the load demand.

This paper focuses the behaviour of wind speed pattern in some selected locations of Bangladesh in order to forecast the wind energy potential of Bangladesh. In our study, the wind speed data for Cox's Bazar, Kuakata, Swandip, Hatiya and Sydpur between 2004 and 2007 have collected from several organizations i.e. Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), Local Government Engineering Development (LGED) and Infrastructure Development Company Ltd (IDCOL) and processed on daily, monthly and hourly basis. The data have been examined by Weibull distribution function using Weibull Graphical method in order to find the shape parameter (k) and scale parameter (c) and thus compared between the Weibull and Rayleigh distribution functions to deduce the wind availability of the selected locations. Moreover, statistically Correlation Coefficient (R2), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Coefficient of Efficiency (COE) methods have also employed based on the data in order to evaluate the performance of the Weibull probability density function.

Electricity access is a key driver for developing a modern society. The use of locally generated renewable energy can overcome limitations of expensive grid infrastructure. However, there are still barriers to access particularly for the rural poor in the global south. When individuals or communities invest in electricity provision it is important to know how well the system is performing. Commercial monitoring systems have been developed for large scale renewable energy systems. The cost of these can outweigh the cost of a small decentralised renewable energy system. This paper describes the development of a low cost data logger that is going to be used to monitor the system performance of small photovoltaic nano-grids in Kenya and Bangladesh. The device performs within the expected range for the current, voltage, temperature and irradiance sensors. Data from the data logger device is sent via GPRS to a Website where it can be accessed as real time graphical displays and data files.
