SIMULATION STUDY OF A STAND-ALONE PHOTOVOLTAIC ELECTRICITY GENERATION SYSTEM

The energy demand of the nation is growing rapidly as Malaysia thrusts forward towards becoming a developed nation. Generation of electricity is still heavily dependent on combustion of fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal. The emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels have led to seriou...
