초록

태양광발전시스템에서 태양전지의 최대전력점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking)은 중요한 부분이다. MPPT 알고리즘은 태양전지가 주어진 일사량 및 온도에 의해 최대전력점에서 동작할 수 있도록 전압($V_{MPP}$), 전류($I_{MPP}$)를 찾는다. 기존의 P&O, IncCond 알고리즘은 듀티를 증가 혹은 감소시키기 위하여 마이크로 프로세서나 DSP를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 간단하면서 빠른 아날로그 MPPT 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 방식은 기존 방식과 비교해서 매우 빠르게 MPP를 추적할 수 있으며 구현하기 쉽다. 또한 급격히 변하는 일사량에 기존 방식보다 대처가 빠르며 높은 효율을 보여준다.

Tracking the Maximum Power Point(MPP) of a photovoltaic(PV) array is usually an essential part of a PV system. The problem considered by MPPT techniques is to find the voltage $V_{MPP}$ or current $I_{MPP}$ at which a PV array should operate to generate the maximum power output PMPP under a given temperature and irradiance. The MPPT control methods, such as the perturb and observe method and the incremental conductance method require microprocessor or DSP to determine if the duty cycle should be increased or not. This paper proposes a simple and fast analog MPPT method. The proposed control scheme will track the MPP very fast and its hardware implementation is so simple, compared with the conventional techniques. The new algorithm has successfully tracked the MPP, even in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, and Has higher efficiency than ordinary algorithms.
