This paper describes the development of 7he utility vehicle controller using combination system of battery and photovoltaic power for increasing operation time. In order to keep interchangeability, low cost and high performance, a separately excited DC Motor is controlled without velocity and current measurements by $\mu$-processor. For the parallel operation between the solar cell and battery, dc-dc converter is used, which is applied to the maximum power Point tracking(MPPT) and current control algorithm. By the simulation and experimental results of trial product, the vapidity of the proposed system is verified.

커패시터 소자와 브릿지 다이오드만을 사용한 교류전원 LED 구동회로를 분석하여, 초저손실 고효율 특성과 더불어 입력전류의 고조파 및 역률특성이 양호해지는 동작점을 찾아내었다. 커패시터 소자는 교류전원에 직렬로 연결되어 전력손실 없이 LED 전류를 제한하는 역할을 하게 되며, 브릿지 다이오드 정류회로는 LED 어레이를 교류전원의 2배 주파수로 구동시키게 한다. 분석결과, 제안된 LED 구동회로는 LED 어레이의 전압강하가 입력 교류전압 최대치의 절반이 될 때 역률특성과 효율이 최고가 되며, 동작온도 변화에 따른 LED 어레이 전압 변동에 대해 출력이 변하지 않는 특징을 갖는다. 이러한 LED 구동회로는 스윗칭 레귤레이터나 IC 등이 없이 단순 수동소자만을 사용함으로써 제품원가 최소화와 효율향상을 동시에 달성할 수 있으며, 실험을 통해 특성이 확인되었다.

Most maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control algorithm is based on Perturb and Observe(P&O) and Incremental Conductance(IncCond). In comparison with P&O and IncCond algorithm, the dynamic and tracking characteristic of IncCond algorithm is better than P&O algorithm in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. But in the case of digital implementation, the InCond algorithm has error en decision of maximum power operation point(MPOP). To solve this problem, this paper proposes a improved IncCond algorithm, which can determine the MPOP correctly by inserting the test signal in control input. This paper proposes a novel MPPT control algorithm for the digitally implemented photovoltaic system in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. To verify the validity of the proposed control algorithm. the computer simulation and experiment are carried out.

PV cell model은 PV simulator를 제작하거나 시뮬레이션 Software를 통하여 PV 발전시스템을 분석하기 위하여 필요하다. PV cell의 I-V 특성곡선은 PV cell의 특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이며, 전기적으로 다이오드정수($I_o$, $v_t$)와 광전류원($I_{ph}$) 그리고 직렬저항($R_s$) 및 션트저항($R_{sh}$)으로 모델링 가능하다. 광 전류원은 일사량에 비례하여 그 값을 추정할 수 있으나 나머지 변수인 다이오드정수($I_o$, $v_t$)와 직렬저항($R_s$) 및 션트저항($R_{sh}$)은 제조사 데이터시트에서 제공하는 3개의 대표적인 운전점인 개방회로 전압($V_{oc}$), 단락회로 전류($I_{sc}$), 그리고 최대출력에서의 전압/전류($V_{MPP}/I_{MPP}$)를 기초로 수학적으로 해를 구하여야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 저자가 제안하는 K-알고리즘의 수학적 도출 과정과 수치해석적 특성을 고찰한다.

In order to improve the output efficiency of the PV system, we adopt maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques. This paper analyzes a two-mode MPPT method based on the variable step size incremental conductance method and constant voltage MPPT method. Compared with the conventional MPPT method, the proposed method can effectively improve the MPPT speed and maximize the efficiency with the irradiation and temperature changing. In this paper, a theoretical analysis is provided and feasibility of this method is proved by simulation.

The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point because its output characteristics are greatly fluctuate on the variations of insolation, temperature and loads. To obtain maximum power from solar cell, photovoltaic system cell power system usually requires maximum power point tracking controller. This paper propose Maximum power point tracking method using zero slope of differential value of maximum power. The power compare method traces to maximum power point rapidly but oscillate on the maximum power point largely, when quantity insolation variation is big. The power compare method is traces to maximum power point slowly but oscillate maximum point on the maximum power point smally, when quantity insolation variation is small. To solve two problem of the power compare method, designed zero slope of differential value of maximum power.

The photovoltaic module has the characteristic that the output power varies according to the amount of insolation. If partial shading occurs in an environment composed of an array, a number of local maximum power points (LMPPs) may be generated according to the shading state. Photovoltaic arrays require global maximum power point tracking due to variations in output characteristics caused by solar radiation and temperature. Conventional algorithms, such as P&O and Incond, do not follow the global maximum power point in a partial shaded solar array. In this study, we propose a technique to follow the global maximum power point by using the correlation of voltage, current, and power in solar arrays. The proposed control technique 2qw validated through simulation and experiments by constructing a 2-kW solar system.
