The modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (power conditioning system) is proposed. The proposed system consists of a step-up DC-DC converter and a full-bridge inverter. A step-up DC-DC converter using a dual series-resonant rectifier circuit and a active-clamp circuit is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed algorithms and controllers is proved by experiments.

As the maximum power operating point(MPOP) of photovoltaic(PV) power generation systems changes with changing atmospheric conditions such as solar radiation and temperature, an important consideration in the design of efficient PV system is to track the MPOP correctly. Many maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques have been considered in the past, however, techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. Although the efficiency of these MPPT algorithms is usually high, it drops noticeably in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. This paper analysed and researched the characteristics of three MPPT algorithms; P&O, Inc&Cond, ImP&O and simulated them with irradiance changing.

As well known, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems. MPPT finds and maintains the operation of PV at the maximum power point when the irradiation and cell-temperature change. In this paper, the studied system includes a PV array, a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and it is connected to the three phase power system. The solar array operates as a non-linear voltage source. The P&O algorithm with power feed-back is used to control the operating point of PV array at the maximum power point. The effects of irradiation and cell-temperature on the dynamic responses are also considered.

This paper proposed a MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control algorithm for PV(Photovoltaic) array based on a modified constant voltage control MPPT algorithm at low insolation. This method which combined a reference voltage control and a constant voltage control algorithm. In contrast to the typical conventional MPPT algorithm, the proposed method have been obtained high efficiency and good performance in all insolation intensity. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

Under partial shading condition, the multiple local maxima can be existed on the output characteristics of PV array. In case of the conventional MPPTs (i.e P&O or IncCond), the failure of maximum power point tracking could be occurred under partial shading condition(PSC). The problems are deduced by the analysis of conventional MPPTs. In this paper, a real maximum power point tracking for PV array under partially shaded condition is proposed. And proposed MPPT is analyzed by case study. It is confirmed by simulation results that the proposed MPPT can track the real MPP under partial shading condition.

독립형 태양광 발전시스템은 태양전지, 배터리, 충 방전 제어기, 컨버터, 부하로 나눌 수 있다. 태양광 발전은 비선형 전압전류 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 발전효율을 최대한 높이기 위해 최대전력추종제어(MPPT)를 하게된다. 또한 부하가 여러 개일 경우에는 다양한 출력이 요구되는데, 이를 위해 강압 및 승압이 가능한 컨버터가 필요하게 된다. 그러나 다중부하에는 다수의 컨버터와 각각의 컨버터를 제어하기 위한 제어기가 필요하게 되므로 cost가 증가요인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 승 강압에 의한 다중출력을 갖는 병렬구조의 DC-DC컨버터를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 컨버터는 입력전압을 승 강압하여 두 개의 출력전압을 갖는다. 강압동작은 일반적인 buck형 컨버터에 커패시터를 추가하여 구성하였고, 승압을 위해서는 리플율이 적은 Coupling inductor를 이용하고 커패시터를 추가하여 두 개의 컨버터를 병렬로 구성하였다. 컨버터의 병렬제어를 위해 제어기를 설계하고 이를 시뮬레이션 하였다.

In the newly developed control method, the current flowing into SPE cell is the only one considerable factor. So, the structure of control circuit becomes simple and the manufacturing cost of the control device decreases. In conventional power comparison MPPT control method however, a voltage and current coming out from PV cell should be feedbacked to chase maximum power point at every moment. Then, the structure of control circuit becomes so complex and the risk of control failure is much higher than the novel MPPT control method. Therefore, PV generation system by a novel MPPT control method is especially operated much more safely in case of a huge system, because the voltage coming out from PV-cell is not needed to be feedbacked. In this paper, the PV-SPR system was actually manufactured based on the simulation model of PSCAD/EMTDC program and the results tested were shown. Authors are sure that it is the most useful method to maximize power from PV to SPE with only a feedback of SPE input current.

Photovoltaic conditioning systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to deliver the highest possible power to the load continuously when variations occur in the insolation and temperature. A unique method of tracking the maximum power points (MPPs) and forcing the boost converter system to operate close to these points is presented through deriving small-signal model and transfer function of boost converter considering input capacitor. This paper aims at modeling boost converter including fairly large equivalent series resistance(ESR) of input reservoir capacitor by state-space-averaging method and PWM switch model and compares both methods using Bode plots. In the future, properly designed controller for compensation will be constructed in 3kw real system for maximum photovoltaic power tracking control.
