The current work discusses the implementation of grid-connected, residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems under the scenario of low (300 kWh/month), medium (600 kWh/month), and high (2100 kWh/month) electric loads. The analysis shows that, under all load scenarios, using rooftop PV systems with increasing PV ratings increased renewable fractio...
![The parameters of the Ameresco Solar 40J Photovoltaic Module [13].](publication/352340057/figure/tbl1/AS:1033837261897733@1623497419407/The-parameters-of-the-Ameresco-Solar-40J-Photovoltaic-Module-13_Q320.jpg)
A photovoltaic (PV) curve tracer is equipment that obtains the characteristic curve of the PV that can be used for PV modelling or performance analysis. Currently, the used of the switched-mode power supply in the PV curve tracer application is limited due to the voltage ripple problem. This paper provides the potential and limitation of designing...
The current work compares the feasibility of using a non-renewable system, a standalone renewable system, and a hybrid renewable system to power up a remote community in Malaysian Borneo. The analysis shows that both the photovoltaic (PV) and hydrokinetic systems can be used to generate renewable electricity, either as a standalone or a hybrid syst...
The current work reviews the importance of engineering the interface between nanofillers and polymers to achieve unique dielectric properties in nanocomposites. Although many improved dielectric properties of nanocomposites have been attributed to the presence of the interface, the interface can also be an attractive location for water to accumulat...
span>Calcium carbonate (CaCO<sub>3</sub>) is an inorganic material which has been introduced in polymeric insulation to improve the thermal and electrical properties of insulation. In this research, a comparative study was performed between unfilled polypropylene (PP) and PP nanocomposites containing 5 wt% of CaCO<sub>3</sub> nanofiller. The electr...
The current work investigates the effects of filler calcination on the structure and dielectric properties of polyethylene/zirconia (ZrO
2
) nanocomposites. Calcination temperatures of 600 and 900 °C have been applied to ZrO
2
in an attempt to modify its surface chemistry and structure. Calcination results in a slight reduction in the concentrati...

... Adding nanoscale fillers was found to improve the mechanical, electrical, and flame retardant properties of dielectric materials (Azmi et al., 2022;Li et al., 2021;Xiaozhen et al., 2021). Zhou et al. (Yao et al., 2015) found that MgO nanoparticles would introduce deep traps to suppress the injection of homopolarity charges from the electrode. ...

... Despite the success of selfconsumption and distributed generation schemes, there have been limitations in their growth, related to regulations from the distribution grid (Arcos-Vargas et al., 2018;Simola et al., 2018), the availability of solar resource according to geographic location (Cristea et al., 2020;Duman & Güler, 2020;Lazzeroni et al., 2020;G. Liu et al., 2012), profitability according to the client's energy demand (Lau et al., 2021;Ordóñez et al., 2022) and the lack of incentive for investment in battery storage (Aleksiejuk-Gawron et al., 2020). Lau et al. (2016) analyzed the potential of Residential Photovoltaic Systems (RPVS), considering component costs and carbon taxes in gridconnected photovoltaic systems in the residential sector of Malaysia with the help of HOMER software. ...
... I F Radzi et al. [15] argued that there is an improvement of degradation at long term by PD in a drastic way when the applied voltage is 6.5 kV to 8.5 kV. Breakdown studies with a step of 50V/s for AC and a step of 100 V/s for DC on thin-film insulation with a thickness of 100 μm were done [16]. It is also reported that the breakdown strength of composites is lower compared to unfilled polypropylene. ...
... In addition, it is clear that the electricity produced covers the load profile. Figure 9 depicts the demand evolution of the village over seven days (28)(29)(30) June and 1-4 July) in the presence of the 10.8 kW converter, 40 batteries. Table 10 shows that the biogas generator operates 8,719 h/year with fuel consumption of 397 tons/year, minimum electrical output of 10 kW electrical efficiency of 30.7% and produces 130,208 kWh/year. ...
