The development of the model of PV system for electric water heating

This thesis deals with designing of a model of a photovoltaic system for domestic water heating in program PSCAD. In theoretical part, an analysis of photovoltaic systems regarding their connection to electrical grid is made. Then a description of chosen concepts of photovoltaic systems for domestic water heating is made. Furthemore, a photovoltaic cell is described with regard to its mathematical description and influence of different parameters on its volt-ampere characteristics. Also, a common topologies of DC-DC converters are described. Control is also related to these converters, that is why a fundamental MPPT algorithms are described. Practical part deals with designing of chosen concepts of photovoltaic systems for domestic water heating in program PSCAD. A basic simulations with regard to behavior of these systems are performed, especially a relationship with respect to irradiance and temperature. Simulations are then discussed in the conclusion
