Abstract :
Most significant Balance of System (BOS) unit for monitoring health of a Photovoltaic (PV) system is the power Conditioner unit. Here, authors propose incorporation of an additional controller unit for monitoring all possible states of the Battery-bank leading to an enhanced energy security mechanism for small decentralized PV applications.
