Researchers in Germany have assessed direct coupling and integration between PV and batteries at the scale of a single PV module. They say their solution could be cheaper and provide superior performance than maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in optimizing PV system performance.Researchers at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research IEK-5 Photovoltaik, an entity under Germany's Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, have proposed the use of direct PV-battery coupling as an alternative to MPPT, in order to optimize PV system performance. "We address the direct coupling and integration between PV ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
