lower cost. The power ratings of wind turbines can range from
100 kilowatts to a few megawatts. Wind turbines can be found
either in fixed speed or variable speed applications. In fixed speed
application, the generator, which is mechanically coupled to the
wind turbine, is directly connected to the utility grid, which means
that at a given operating point, the rotor has to rotate at a fixed
speed governed by the frequency of the utility. Fixed speed wind
turbines result in severe mechanical stresses caused by the
variation in wind energy and disturbances in the network
[21][12][13]. Variable speed wind turbines on the other hand,
operate at variable speed and therefore can capture maximum wind
energy compared to the fixed speed operation [11]. Instead of
being directly connected to the grid, variable speed configurations
are connected to the grid using power electronic converters. The
most common types of generators used in variable speed wind
turbines are the induction and synchronous generators [15]. Other
types of generators include the use of low speed machines to avoid
the use of a gear box, such as a switched reluctance generator [16]
or more generally, multi-pole machines [13][14]. Several possible
topologies are used in variable speed wind turbines [13] that can
be classified into to two groups: direct-in-line wind turbines and
doubly fed generator wind turbines. An example of the first group
that uses a squirrel cage induction generator is shown in Figure 4.
The induction generator is mechanically coupled to the wind
turbine via a mechanical gearbox. The variable frequency voltage
of the generator is rectified and fed to the inverter to produce a
constant frequency voltage that can be connected to the grid. An
example of a doubly fed machine configuration can be similar to
Figure 4 but it uses wound rotor induction machines. The doubly
fed configurations are gaining popularity due to their higher
efficiency and lower cost compared to the direct in line
configurations [21]. Connection to the grid may require a
transformer in order to match the generated and the grid voltages.
Due to the intermittent nature of the wind, for a continuous supply
of power to the load, connection to the grid or the use of ESD is
necessary.

The yearly PV energy yield is shown in Fig. 3c. From the plots, it
is shown that the south orientated PV module produces the largest
amount of energy while the north orientated produces the least. For
east and west orientated cases, both produce approximately the
same amount of energy over a year for optimum tilt angle and
facade. For faade design, the annual energy produced is
significantly reduced by about 19% for south orientated and 22%
for both east and west orientated as compared to the case of
optimum tilt angle. It is not worth installing PV modules on the
north orientated building walls in London because it is shaded by
the building itself.

it can be seen that the tracking process for step-up test is slower as
compare to the step-down test due to extra hunting points.
However, it does not affect the performance of the tracking in

The result of the computation of (3) and (4) will determine the
direction of the required change in the control variable so as to
move the PV voltage towards the MPP. This algorithm has the
advantage of no oscillation occurs around the MPP in steady-state
unlike the continuous perturbations of the P&O algorithm.
However, the drawback of this algorithm is the complexity of the
design the controller.

500 Wm2 after 2 s and further reduced to 350, 225 and 145 Wm2
at 2 s intervals.
Figure 6(a) shows that the large step-size (0.008) creates large
oscillations during full illumination and the magnitude of the
oscillations is less at lower illumination. It can be seen from the
figure that the PV power oscillated around the MPP and did not
settle. Figure 6(b) shows that the magnitude of power oscillation is
significantly reduced for a step-size of 0.001 compared to the
previous case of step-size. It can be seen in Fig. 6(b) that the
magnitude of the power oscillation has reduced to about 3 W
during the steady-state condition as compared to the 0.008 step-
size (Fig. 6(a)). In addition, the transient after each step change of
illumination settles quickly. However, the tracking operation
continues to hunt at steady-state conditions. The smallest fixed
step-size investigated in this chapter is 0.0001 as presented in Fig.
6(c). Since it is a very small step-size, it took longer to reach the
desired operating point. Note that the PV power response obtained
from the experimental set-up has longer initial transient compared
to the response obtained from the simulation model. This happened
in practical test because the 0.0001 step-size used in the MPPT
algorithm is too small and, in turn, the calculated duty-cycle
reference has not much different with the previous duty-cycle.
Therefore, the calculated reference produced little impact on the
next duty-cycle and thus it requires more steps to move the
operating point to the true MPP.
The simulated response of the variable perturbation step-size
incorporating the CMC is demonstrated in Fig. 6(d). The PV
tracking process is fast and the operating point accurately holds the
true MPP after each step change of illumination.

The dead time is required to ensure that both top and bottom
Mosfets never turn on simultaneously in the standard H-bridge.
The dead time circuit topology is shown in Figure 6. Two input
signals come from the microcontroller C167, that is high frequency
PWM signal and low frequency 50 Hz square wave signal. These
signals are then applied to the logic gate circuit (AND operator IC
7408) so as to generate proper signal via logic comparison. The
timing diagram for the dead time circuit is shown in Figure 7. The
control PWM signal (pin 3) of IC 7408 is injected to the RCD
circuit network to produce signal of pin 9. When the PWM signal
is positive edge, diode D13 is in reverse biased and the voltage at
pin 9 increases exponentially due to the capacitor C34 charging.
As this voltage exceeds the thrash-hold voltage Vt of the Schmitt-
trigger IC 7414, the logic output of IC 7414 changes to logic low.
Likewise as the PWM signal is in negative edge, D13 is in forward
biased due to the capacitor discharges which cause pin 9 voltage
drops abruptly. Logic output of IC 7414 changes to logic high.
Clearly it is shows that there is a zero state at the initial positive
edge, which known as a dead time period. The voltage waveform
VGS is the required driver voltage to drive the Mosfet or IGBT
power device.

7.1 INTRODUCTION
The price of crude oil has risen from a low of USD 2 per barrel to
a high of USD 126 (as at 4th June 2008). The present system
cannot be maintained for more than one or two generations. This
resulted in searching for an alternative energy source. Since
Malaysia lies entirely in the equatorial region with an average
2
daily solar radiation of 4,500kWh/m , with sunshine duration of
about 12 hours, solar photovoltaic system is applicable to be used
as an alternative primary energy to replace the conventional
system[1]. Stand-alone domestic PV systems provide electricity to
households in remote areas. The system provides basic electricity
for lighting, refrigeration and other domestic electrical equipments.
These application have been installed almost everywhere in the

modules

(USD) (RM)
For professional use the more advanced and expensive batteries are
often more cost effective in the long run. Unlike solar modules and
inverters, batteries are a mature technology and a product that is
used in volume outside the solar energy industry. Consequently,
the opportunity for major costs breakthroughs over the medium
term is limited. Across the survey of 536 different prices amongst
189 product models from 33 companies, the average price of per
watt hour output is USD 2.01 which approximates RM 6.78 (USD
1 = RM 3.3715, Bank Negara, 1st Feb 2008) per watt hour
output[11].
The rated power of the inverter is not the only factor that
determines price. The technology varies considerably from
manufacturer to manufacturer, leading to differences in efficiency,
size, weight, reliability, etc. Navigant Consultant Inc. (NCI)
conducted a survey for small inverters below the size of 10 kW.
For 2004, the price range was between USD 0.67 per watt peak to
USD 2.67 per watt peak. For the year 2005, the price range was
between USD 0.48 to USD 2.42 per watt peak. A survey involving
1189 inverters from a range 251 product models amongst 40
companies were compared to average the price of inverter per watt
peak [12]. Comparing the results between NCI and Solarbuzz, the

amorphous silicon
Averaging the costs of the total net present value would yield
RM 209,214. Hence, the average cost for a stand alone system
using amorphous silicon to supply an annual load of 3075.9 kWh
a.c is RM 209,214. Hence, the average costs for a stand alone
system using a CdTe to supply an annual load of 3075.9 kWh a.c is
RM 202,140.
The LCC method considers the initial costs and all other future
costs or cash benefits and discounts them to their present value.
Moreover, this system allows the breaking down of costs, which
enables one to carry out a sensitivity analysis study that analyzes
the impact of each of the parameters involved in the LCC on the
cost of electricity[17].
LCC = (C + M + R S) / E (1)
where,
LCC = life cycle cost (RM/kWh);
C = total initial capital (RM);
M = total maintenance cost (RM);
R = replacement cost anticipated for the whole life of the
system (RM);

The net discount rate can then be calculated from the equation [17]:

Cost per kWh would be divided by the annual load of 3075.9 kWh
7.4 CONCLUSION
The cost of generating per kWh energy using a stand alone system
for a typical four member family household with an annual
consumption of 3075.9 kWh of energy is RM 5.26/kWh with CdTe
technology marginally lower by RM 0.16 for every kWh
generated. This value compared with several other European and
Mediterranean countries are reasonable. According to Lazou and
Papatsoris [18], the predicted levelised energy cost for a stand alone
system in 2005 would range between USD 1.039/kWh to USD
8.177/kWh. Upon conversion to Ringgit Malaysia, these values
equal RM 3.51/kWh and RM 27.60/kWh (USD 1 = RM 3.3715,
Cost Comparison For A Stand-Alone Residential Photovoltaic System 111
Bank Negara, 1st Feb 2008). This shows that the cost of generating
per kWh of energy in Malaysia would be 49.86 % more expensive
than the lowest Mediterranean or European nation but 81.16 %
cheaper. This justifies that RM 5.26/kWh is reasonable.

comparison between the modulation signals and the carrier signal gives 1 if
m(t) > c(t), 0 otherwise whereas in the second half of the fundamental period,
comparison between the modulation signals and the carrier signal gives -1 if
m(t) > c(t), 0 otherwise.Equations (3) and (4) defines the amplitude modulation
ratio ma and the frequency modulation ratio mf for the single carrier multilevel
PWM technique.
mf = fc / fm (3)
ma = Am /(M.Ac ) (4)
