Recently there has been a resurgence of concern about islanding of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. This condition occurs when the PV system continues to energize a section of the grid after that section has been isolated from the main utility voltage source. Generally, islanding is undesir

The electricity consumption in Turkey increased on average 8.5% annually between 1990 and 2000, but decreased 1.2% in 2001 due to the economic crisis of 2000. The economic growth and electricity consumption are expected to continue in a similar rate of before the crisis in the coming years. Turkey i
A continuous decrease trend in PV costs together with a wide variety of supporting measures have turned photovoltaic grid-connected systems (PVGCS) into a profitable investment when some economic conditions are met. The internal rate of return (IRR) is a meaningful parameter for prospective owners o
Research on monitored grid-connected PV systems can lead to an improved performance of PV systems. This view is based on monitoring results from PV systems in Western Europe which lag behind the expected values. However, current methods for analysing these systems do not allow to investigate the pot
