    Abstract: Balance solar radiation between photovoltaic panels or between groups of photovoltaic panels will help to improve the efficiency of electricity generation of the entire solar power system, making the most of the solar energy converted into electricity power. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to reconfigure the connection of photovoltaic pan... Show More

    Abstract: The electrical power grid in Nigeria is limited in terms of reach and utilization, and this leaves a large section of the population without access to power supply. This paper therefore reviews literature on the current state of the conventional electrical power grid in Nigeria. The generation, transmission and distribution sectors of the grid are ... Show More

    Abstract: The losses in networks of Beninese Electrical Energy Company (SBEE) are very high and therefore constitute a concern for the operators. This work consisted in finding an optimal topology of a 41 nodes real network of SBEE by Modified Ant Colony Algorithms (MACA) in order to reduce the losses and ensure a continuous power supply to the customers in ...

    Abstract: This paper presents a power sharing control method for use between paralleled three-phase inverters in an islanded microgrid. In this study, the mismatch of power sharing when the line impedances have significant differences for inverters connected to a microgrid has been solved, the accuracy of power sharing in an islanded microgrid is improved, t...
