Reliability improvement of isolated generating systems by photovoltaic ac fusion converters
In the case of isolated areas, power quality and service reliability are improved by fusion of the ac power generation with a PV system output. Such an arrangement decreases the operating costs considerably. The proposed model and the related reliability and performance indices illustrate the benefits of PV system fusion with ac generation.
