New network topologies for large scale photovoltaic Systems

In order to extend the application of photovoltaic power generation, new integrated solutions with the environment have to be studied and adopted. In the next future, one important solution could be the application of photovoltaic power generator into terrestrial desert surfaces. The present paper analyses the possible production of electrical energy by photovoltaic systems in areas characterized by an high level of insolation in order to maximize the global energy conversion. In this context, it has been developed a new and very innovative photovoltaic technology for the realization of solar panel suitable for the extreme condition and at the same time it is studied and analyzed the electrical components and the correct strategy to connect the solar plant to the end users. The study concerns a preliminary technical analysis on the solar network configuration and presents different PV network configurations, discussing benefits and drawbacks for each one of them.
