Since efficiency of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is important for photovoltaic systems, a number of MPPT algorithms have already been researched for other environment, however, the most of MPPT algorithms can't track maximum point in dynamic irradiation. In this paper, P&O and 3-Point MPPT which is more specialized in dynamic irradiation are compared in basis of European Efficiency Test(EN50530). The efficiency of 3-Point MPPT algorithm is proved by simulation and experiment. In result, 3-Point MPPT shows higher efficiency in dynamic irradiation and less affected by environment than P&O.

This paper proposes the fuzzy logic based variable step-size MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method for the stability at the steady state and the improvement of the transient response in the wind power system. If the change value of duty ratio is set on stability of the steady state, MPPT control traces to maximum power point slowly. And if the change value is set on improvement of the transient response, the system output oscillates at the maximum power point. By adjusting the step size with fuzzy logic, it can be improved the MPPT response speed and stability at steady state when MPPT control is performed to track the maximum power point. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified by simulations and experimental results.

In order to increase the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system, a new algorithm that can follow the maximum power point of the photovoltaic power generation system having nonlinear output characteristics is proposed. Conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms such as Perturbation and Observation (P&O) and InCond (Increment and Conductance) schemes can not find the global maximum power point at a plurality of pole points in the unmatched state of unbalanced PV modules. However, even if the global maximum power point is found at a plurality of pole points, the global maximum power that can not be the real maximum power by the photovoltaic generation system. In order to solve this problem, a few PV companies propose installing several small PV inverters instead of if big one. However, since this will require additional costs, we herein propose a Multi-MPPT system using individual 3-point MPPT to track true MPPT at a plurality of pole points in the unmatched state of unbalanced PV modules.

This research work focuses to design and simulate a 200W solar power system with electrical power conservation scheme as well as thermal power conservation modeling to improve power extraction from solar power plant. Many researchers have been already designed and developed different methods to extract maximum power while there were very researches are available on improving solar power thermally and mechanically. Thermal parameters are also important while discussing about maximizing power extraction of any power plant. A specific type of coolant which have very high boiling point is proposed to be use at the bottom surface of solar panel to reduce the temperature of panel in summer. A comparison between different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique and proposed MPPT technique is performed. Using this proposed Thermo-electrical MPPT (TE-MPPT) with Deep Learning Algorithm model 40% power is conserved as compared to traditional solar power system models.

The maximum power point of a photovoltaic array alters with changing atmospheric conditions, temperature conditions, shadow conditions, so it is required to track maximum power point. As much as MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) is important in photovoltaic systems, many MPPT techniques have been developed. In this paper, several major existing MPPT methods are comparatively analyzed and novel hybrid MPPT algorithm is proposed. The proposed hybrid MPPT algorithm is developed in combination with traditional MPPT methods to complement each other for improving performance and mitigating partial shading effects. The proposed algorithm is validated by using PISIM simulation tool and experiment in 3kW system.

This paper proposes a method of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using fuzzy logic control for grid-connected photovoltaic systems (PV). First, for the purpose of comparison, because of its proven and good performances, the incremental conductance (IncCond) technique is briefly introduced. A double fuzzy logic controller (DFLC) based MPPT is then proposed which has shown better performances compared to the IncCond MPPT based approach. Modeling and Simulation in grid-connected PV system results are provided for both controllers under same atmospheric condition based PSCAD/EMTDC. The double fuzzy logic MPPT controller is then simulated and evaluated, which has shown better performances.

This study compares the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control methods of a thermoelectric generator on vehicles. The researchers conduct comparisons on five different MPPT methods, including a fractional open circuit voltage method, a perturbation and observation (P&O) method, an incremental conductance method, a linear extrapolation-based MPPT (LEMPPT) method, and a LEMPPT/P&O hybrid method. These five MPPT methods are theoretically analyzed in detail, and the comparisons are conducted through MATLAB/Simulink simulation results. The comparison outcomes reveal that linear MPPT methods, including LEMPPT and LEMPPT/P&O hybrid methods, are more suitable for a thermoelectric generator on vehicles than the other MPPT methods examined in this work.

본 논문에서는 MPPT 제어 기능을 갖는 열에너지 하베스팅 회로를 설계하였다. MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어는 열전소자의 개방회로전압과 MPP 전압간의 관계를 이용하였으며 열전소자의 개방회로전압을 주기적으로 샘플링 함으로써 이를 이용해 MPPT 기준전압을 생성하여 이를 기준으로 부하로의 에너지 공급을 제어한다. 모의실험 결과 94%의 최대 전력 효율을 보였다. 제안된 열에너지 하베스팅 회로는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였으며 설계된 칩 면적은 PAD를 제외하고 $1168.7{\mu}m{\times}541.3{\mu}m$이다.

An adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) scheme employing a variable scaling factor is presented. A MPPT control loop was constructed analytically and the magnitude variation in the MPPT loop gain according to the operating point of the PV array was identified due to the nonlinear characteristics of the PV array output. To make the crossover frequency of the MPPT loop gain consistent, the variable scaling factor was determined using an approximate curve-fitted polynomial equation about linear expression of the error. Therefore, a desirable dynamic response and the stability of the MPPT scheme were maintained across the entire MPPT voltage range. The simulation and experimental results obtained from a 3 KW rated prototype demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT scheme.

일사량과 온도에 의해 태양광 어레이의 최대전력동작점(MPOP)이 결정되며 태양광발전시스템에서 중요하게 고려해야 할 사항 중 하나는 최대전력동작점을 정확하게 추종하도록 하는 것이다. 과거부터 여러 최대전력추종제어기법(MPPT)들이 사용되어 왔지만, 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 최대전력추종제어기법은 다른 태양광 어레이와의 호환성, 적응성 측면에서 유리하다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 P&O, IncCond 알고리즘에 대한 분석과 새로운 히스테리시스밴드 변동 기법을 제안한다. 새로 제안된 제어기법의 우수성을 나타내주기 위하여 저자는 3가지의 기준을 만들어서 각 기법을 비교 및 분석하였다. 첫째로, 정상상태에서의 각 기법의 파형을 살펴보았고, 다음으로 일사량을 급변하였을 경우의 파형을 나타내었고, 마지막으로 일사량에 따른 MPPT 추종효율을 보였다. MPPT 시뮬레이션과 실험은 부스트 컨버터에서 수행하였다.
