- 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 (text removed for publication) and Purple Renewables (text removed for publication) 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.
