Cables: Wadannan shine wires wanda suke transmit electricity between different components of system. Cables zai iya classify a biyu na manyan abubuwa: DC cables da AC cables. DC cables carry direct current from solar modules to inverters ko batteries, while AC cables carry alternating current from inverters to grid ko loads.
Layout na photovoltaic power plant depends on several factors, kamar site conditions, system size, design objectives, da grid requirements. Amma, typical layout consists of three main parts: generation part, transmission part, da distribution part.
Generation part includes solar modules, mounting structures, da inverters wanda suke produce electricity from sunlight.
Transmission part includes cables, switches, da meters wanda suke transmit electricity from generation part to distribution part.
Distribution part includes batteries, charge controllers, da loads wanda suke store ko consume electricity.
The following diagram shows an example of a photovoltaic power plant layout:

Operation na photovoltaic power plant depends on several factors, kamar weather conditions, load demand, da grid status. Amma, typical operation consists of three main modes: charging mode, discharging mode, da grid-tie mode.
Charging mode occurs when there is excess sunlight and low load demand. In this mode, solar modules generate more electricity than is needed by loads. Excess electricity is used to charge batteries through charge controllers.
Discharging mode occurs when there is no sunlight or high load demand. In this mode, solar modules generate less electricity than is needed by loads. Deficit electricity is supplied by batteries through inverters.
Grid-tie mode occurs when there is grid availability and favorable tariff rates. In this mode, solar modules generate electricity that can be fed into grid through inverters.

Grid-tie mode can also occur when there is a grid outage, and backup power is needed. In this mode, solar modules generate electricity that can be used by loads through inverters.

Receivers zai iya classify a two types: external receivers da internal receivers. External receivers shine exposed to atmosphere da kuma have high heat losses due to convection da radiation. Internal receivers shine enclosed in vacuum chamber da kuma have low heat losses due to insulation da evacuation.

Molten salts shine inorganic compounds kamar sodium nitrate ko potassium nitrate wanda suke da high heat capacity da low vapor pressure.
Power block: This is where electricity is generated from heat using turbine or engine coupled with generator. Power block zai iya classify a two types: steam cycle da Brayton cycle. Steam cycle uses water as HTF da produces steam that drives steam turbine connected to electric generator. Brayton cycle uses air as HTF da produces hot air that drives gas turbine connected to electric generator.
Storage system: This is where excess heat is stored for later use when there is no sunlight or when there is high load demand. Storage systems zai iya classify a two types: sensible heat storage da latent heat storage. Sensible heat storage uses materials kamar rocks, water, ko molten salts wanda suke store heat by increasing their temperature without changing their phase. Latent heat storage uses materials kamar phase change materials (PCMs) ko thermochemical materials (TCMs) wanda suke store heat by changing their phase or chemical state without changing their temperature.
