A maximum power point tracking(MPPT) converter, to enhance the converter efficiency is evaluated within the laboratory. The converter is controlled to track the maximum power point of the input photovoltaic(PV) source by varying the input and output parameter-conditions of irradiation, temperature, etc. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new maximum power point tracking(MPPT) using neural controller. Neural controller are applied to control of MPPT by boosting converter duty ratios compensation effect with 8 bit single chip 8051 microcontroller.

Generally, wind industry has been oriented to large power systems which require large windy areas and often need to overcome environment restrictions. However, small-scale wind turbines are closer to the consumers and have a large market potential, and much more efforts are required to become economically attractive. In this paper, a prototype of a small-scale urban wind generation system for battery charging application is described and a neural network based MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm which can be effectively applied to urban wind turbine system is proposed. Through Matlab based simulation studies and actual implementation of the proposed algorithm, the feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified.

본 논문은 태양광 시스템에서 최대 전력점을 추종하기 위해 듀티 제어와 전류제어를 이용한 두 가지 제어 기법이 적용된 P&O 방식 기반의 MPPT 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 듀티 제어를 이용한 MPPT의 경우에는 P-V 특성곡선을 이용한 방식으로, 태양광 시스템에서 발전되는 전력과 전압의 현재값-이전값을 비교하여 컨버터 듀티 변화를 통해 최대 전력점을 추종하도록 제어하였다. 전류제어 방식은 전력과 전류의 현재값-이전값을 비교함에 따라 전류 지령치를 생성하고, PI 제어기를 통해 컨버터 전류를 제어하는 알고리즘으로써 P-I 곡선의 특성을 이용하였다. 두 가지 제어기법을 시뮬레이션을 통해 구현하고 제어특성을 분석하였다.

태양전지는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 출력 특성이 변화하여 최대전력을 얻을 수 있는 위치도 변화한다. 따라서 태양전지의 동작점을 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대전력점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking) 이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 P&O 방식처럼 자려진동을 하지 않고 최대 동작점에서 머물면서 동작하는 NOC(Non-Oscillation Control) 방법을 제안한다. 이 방식은 빠르게 최대 동작점을 찾을 수 있고 특히 급격한 일사량 변동에 대해 유리한 장점을 갖는다. 최종적으로 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 3KW급으로 수행된 MPPT 모의 실험을 제시한다.

As the maximum power operating point(MPOP) of the Photovoltaic(PV) power systems alters with changing atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is important in PV power systems. Many MPPT techniques have been considered in the past, but techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. In this paper, the author analyzes and studies two MPPT algorithms, which is named P&O(Perturbation and Observation) and IncCond(Incremental Conductance). Also, the author proposes Hysterisis-band alteration algorithm. To show the excellency of new Hysterisis-band alteration, the author suggests three references; 1) Comparing three MPPT algorithms in the steady-state condition, 2) Representing irradiation variation rapidly, 3) Showing MPPT efficiency. MPPT simulation and experiment perform in the boost converter.

The Photovoltaic systems with solar cell way Provide electrical energy to the utility/consumers, which are becoming one of the promising energy substitutes. The photovoltaic system can be classified into two types : One is the stand-alone type, and the other utility interactive one. The latter can return the generated power to the utility, but the former can't. The utility interactive systems are so valuable for peak power cut in summer season. In the photovoltaic systems the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been studied for the increase of the generating energy of the photovoltaic system. There are many control methods of MPPT, but a new MPPT algorithm is proposed to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional ones, and as a result the proposed method enables to improve both tracking ability and generating efficiency of photo voltaic system without DC chopper.

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.

본 논문에서는 태양광 발전 시스템에서 발생하는 저차 고조파를 저감하는 기법을 제안한다. 태양광 발전 시스템에 포함된 단상 인버터는 기본파의 2배 주파수를 가지는 2차 고조파를 만들어낸다. 이 저차 고조파는 컨버터 전류의 리플로 작용하여 태양전지의 출력을 최대로 높이는 최대전력점 추종기법의 효율을 저감시킨다. 본 논문에서는 계통연계형 태양광 발전 시스템에서 발생하는 저차 고조파를 분석한다. 그리고 추가적인 하드웨어 소자 없이 비례공진 제어기를 사용한 새로운 전향보상 성분을 통해 효과적으로 제거한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션을 바탕으로 타당성을 검증한다.
