Nepal is among the richest in terms of water resource availability and it is one of the most important natural resources of the country. Currently, 72% of the population is electrified through the national grid system. The power generation mix into the grid is hydro dominated with minor shares generated from solar and thermal (accounts for less than 1%). To achieve sustainable development in the power sector it is essential to diversify power generation mix into the grid. Knowing the facts, the government has a plan to achieve a 5-10% share of power generation from solar and mix it into the grid system. Solar is the second most abundant, prominent and free source of renewable in the context of Nepal. This study mainly focuses on the grid-connected solar system, its importance, present status, government efforts, and its need. It is based on the review of literature, news published in national newspaper online news and international organization's report.

In this paper, the operating characteristics of a 3 kW class grid-interactive photovoltaic(PV) power system was analysed from January 1998 to December 2000. The construction of the PV system includes a DC/AC inverter for grid connection, PV module, and data Monitoring & Acquisition system. The major results of the field test of the 3 kW class grid-interactive PV system showed that the system utilization rate was 13.83% the conversion efficiency of the inverter was 88% at an over half load, and the PV system generated the electricity more then 300 kWh per month.

A Microsoft Access application program is developed to calculate energy demands for a Community Energy System (CES) composed of various types of buildings. The field-measured heating, hot water, cooling, and electricity energy consumptions for 14 types of building are systematically organized in forms of database and hourly loads for a span of year (8760 hours) are generated through an automated statistical procedure. User-friendly standard windows interfaces are provided to assist non-expert end users.

The clack of Insulator, which results from internal or external surges such as electrical, mechanical, and thermal stress, might cause ground fault and a power failure without proper repairs. In order to minimize losses caused by a short-term or long-term power failure, it is necessary to detect the deteriorated insulator as early as possible. To do so, we will develop a new device, which can detect and trace an deteriorated insulator by monitoring its physical change the variation of frequency spectrum. This device will do so by finding a Periodic wave sharp (120 Hz), a peculiar wave generated by defused electricity.

Photovoltaic Power Generation system occupies an important position as an alternative energy source, converting directly sunlight into electricity,using a photovoltaic cell. The Purpose of this research is to present and confirm the effectiveness of concentration and tracking of sun in photovoltaic power generation. Comparative experiments were carried outwith two rating 75 watt solar modules in $25^{\circ}$ under condition of various times concentration, tracking and plain normal measuring generated voltages, currents and temperatures of back sheet of modules by internet monitoring system to find out which is best in economic sense. The experiments show that output power of concentration and tracking photovoltaic power generation is over 180% more then that of plain normal system.

FCEV uses electric energy generated from fuel cell stack, thus all consisting parts must be re-designed to be suitable for electricity based system. Cathode air blower which supplies compressed air into fuel cell stack has similar shape of turbocharger, but a radial turbine of traditional turbocharger is removed and high speed BLDC motor is installed . Generally, maximum 10% of electric power of fuel cell stack is consumed in air blower, therefore an effective design of air blower can improve the performance of FCEV directly. This study will present an aerodynamic design process of an air blower and compare computational results with experimental data.

This Paper focuses on modeling and simulation to analyze the characteristic of hybrid vehicle. The system includes a proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC), photovoltaic generator(PV), lead-acid battery, motor, vehicle and controller. Main electricity is produced by the PEMFC and battery to meet the requirements of a user load. When vehicle is parked in a sunny place, extra power is generated by the photovotaics and is charged in a battery for next drive. Further we evaluate usefulness of this hybrid vehicle by using ADVISOR - the advanced vehicle simulator written in the Matlab/Simulink environment. According to simulation results, the extra power obtained by photovoltaics which have been explored in nature conditions can help to reduce the electrical load of PEMFC and increase the efficiency (over 21 %).

The performance of a passenger vehicle has been greatly improved recently owing to the intensive use of electronic controllers. Many components of a vehicle, including the engine, are controlled by electronic systems installed in the vehicle. Therefore, the electrical power required for such electronics has increased significantly. However, the electrical power generated by the vehicle's alternator, operated by the engine, is limited, and when the vehicle is started, a large instantaneous current is required. The voltage of the vehicle electrical system fluctuates to a very low level, then, it is gradually recovered. This case is very severe and can even cause damage to electronic systems. In this study, a voltage-stabilizing module comprising electric double layer supercapacitors, which could alleviate the voltage variation, was developed and tested.

Wind turbine requires service life of about 20 years and each components of wind turbine requires high durability, because installation and maintenance costs are more expensive than generated electricity by wind turbine. So the design of wind turbine must be verified in various condition before production step. This paper demonstrates the application of a generic methodology, based on the flexible multibody simulation technique, for the dynamic analysis of a wind turbine and its drive train. The concern of the paper is the computation of dynamic loads of wind turbine in emergency-stop condition. The finite element model is used to analyse the dynamic behaviour of the wind turbine.
