- The paper proposes a novel architecture for multi-megawatt large-scale photovoltaic (PV) electricity plants for meeting the rapid growth in electrical demands. It is significant as it presents important advantages such as eliminating bulky line-transformers, unreliable electrolytic capacitors, and maximising the harvested energy. The experiments demonstrated significant achievable reductions in the size of the PV system. The work gained attraction from Stopford (alex.hulley@stopford.co.uk) and Purple Renewables (rich@milliamp.co.uk) companies. It forms the basis for a continuing collaboration with Strathclyde and Saudi Arabia Cultural Bureau in terms of follow-up papers and PhD projects.
