This repository contains the Simulink Block diagram of a Solar Power generation system used at residential areas and homes. The diagram is as follows:
The project utilizes various electronic components to harness and convert solar energy into usable electrical power.
Components:
-
Solar Panel The solar panel serves as the primary source of energy in this system. It absorbs sunlight and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity.
-
Resistor The resistor is used to limit the current flowing through the circuit, ensuring safe operation and preventing damage to the components.
-
Inductor The inductor is employed to smooth out the current flow and reduce voltage fluctuations in the system.
-
Passive Filter The passive filter helps in reducing unwanted harmonics and noise in the electrical signal, ensuring a cleaner and more stable output.
-
Diode The diode acts as a one-way valve, allowing the flow of current in a single direction. It prevents reverse current flow from the battery to the solar panel.
-
Universal Bridge The universal bridge is a key component in the inverter circuit. It converts the DC electricity from the solar panel into alternating current (AC) suitable for household use.
-
IGBT Diode The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) diode is utilized for controlling the flow of current through the circuit, enabling efficient energy conversion.
