Paper Title
High Efficiency Ridge Concentrated Photovoltaic Power Generation Using MPPT & Ultra Capacitor
Abstract
In the present scenario, high proportion of electric power generation is done with the help of non-renewable
sources like fossil fuels, nuclear reactions, etc. But it causes greenhouse effect which leads to global warming. So, the
efficient power generation using the abundantly available energy resources, without polluting the environment, is the need of
the hour. India being a tropical country, power generation using the solar energy is the best choice. Average sunshine hour in
India is about 7 hrs annually also the sun shine shines in India for about 9 months in a year. This paper gives an overview
about the efficient power generation using ridge concentrator photovoltaic cells, maximum power point tracker and ultra
capacitor.
Keywords- ridge concentrator, maximum power point tracker (MPPT), Ultra Capacitor/ Super Capacitor
