Photovoltaic Cells
Solar cell operation is based on the ability of
semiconductors to convert sunlight directly into
electricity. In the conversion process the incident energy
of light creates mobile charged particles in the
semiconductor, which are then separated by the device
structure and produce electrical current.

Principle
Microgrid
A MicroGrid power system
Is a local scale power system using distributed resources scaled to
the local system demand.
Is designed to transfer seamlessly between connection with the
local utility and isolated operation.
Benefits
Improved power reliability and power quality
Potential economic benefits: CHP, higher efficiency, diversified fuel
supplies
Possible ancillary services for power system operators
Transmission and distribution support in constrained areas.
Potential for reduced emissions compared to centralized utility.
Ability to allow high penetration of renewable generation.
