... A hybrid system for standalone solar application is presented in [6] which combines wind turbine and PV module. In previous studies [7][8][9][10] the net present cost, cost of energy, operating cost are comparatively large. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to study the economic feasibility of centralized photovoltaic system to meet the load requirement on a specific area. ...

... In contrast, there are few publications regarding the review of the electrical layout and the suitable technology for LS-PVPPs and VLS-PVPPs. Stranix et al. [19] and Simburger et al. [20] review the design of LS-PVPPs considering electronic devices, wiring, protections, PV panels, mounting characteristics, installation, maintenance and cost according to the technology used in 1980s. Alternative configurations are studied in [21], comparing technical advantages and disadvantages, but these configurations are only based on central inverters topologies. ...
