Research and development in Smart Hybrid PV Systems focus on integrating multiple energy sources with advanced control technologies to improve reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. These systems combine solar photovoltaics (PV) with other renewable and non-renewable energy sources to optimize power generation and storage.
1. Hybrid Energy Integration
- PV + Wind: Complementary energy sources improve power availability.
- PV + Battery Storage (BESS): Ensures stable energy supply and grid resilience.
- PV + Wind+ Diesel Generator: Used for backup power in remote/off-grid areas (On going project with IT-PLN project 2024-2025).
- PV + Hydrogen Storage: Long-term energy storage and decarbonization.
2. Smart Energy Management
- AI & Machine Learning: Predictive analytics for demand-response optimization.
- IoT-based Monitoring: Real-time performance tracking and fault detection.
3. Advanced Power Electronics & Grid Integration
- Multi-input converters: Efficient power conditioning and load management.
- Hybrid Inverters: Seamless switching between energy sources.
4. Applications of Smart Hybrid PV Systems
- Remote & Rural Electrification: Providing reliable power in off-grid locations.
- Industrial & Commercial Use: Reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
