Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is used in photovoltaic(PV) systems to maximize the photovoltaic array output power, irrespective of the temperature and irradiation conditions. The object of this paper is to compare and analyze MPPT efficiency for different MPPT techniques by changing irradiance. Also, this paper introduces transformerless grid-connected inverter. Simple flow charts and characteristics of each MPPT algorithm are shown. The implementation of transformerless grid-connected inveter system was based on a digital signal processor(DSP). Simulation was carried out for each MPPT method.

태양광전원이 설치된 배전선로의 단선 등으로 결상사고가 발생하는 경우, 연계용변압기의 철심형태 및 결선 방법에 따라 여러 가지 문제점이 발생할 가능성이 있다. 즉, 단선사고 발생 시 태양광전원 인버터의 단독운전 방지기능에 따라 결상을 감지하여 발전을 정지해야 하지만, 결상을 인지하지 못하고 계속 발전하는 사례가 보고되고 있으며, 연계용 변압기의 역조류 현상으로 인해 결상된 상으로 전원을 공급하여 계통에 악영향을 주는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 결상사고 보호계전기(Open Phase Relay, 47)는 태양광전원 연계용변압기의 결선방식과 철심형태에 따라 결상된 상에 전압이 유지될 수 있어서, 결상사고 검출이 어려워, 새로운 결상사고 검출 알고리즘이 요구되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 전류비교방식의 개념을 이용하여, 연계용변압기 1, 2차측의 전류와 위상을 비교하여 결상사고를 검출하는 새로운 개념의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 전력계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 수배전반, 저압배전선로, 부하, 연계용변압기, 태양광전원으로 구성된 배전계통과 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 모델링을 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 결상사고 검출 보호장치를 구현한다. 상기의 모델링과 결상사고 검출 알고리즘을 바탕으로 태양광전원 연계용 변압기의 결선방식과 철심구조에 따라 결상사고 검출 보호장치의 특성을 분석한 결과, 결상 시 연계용변압기의 동작 기울기와 1차측 전류 불평형률이 보호장치의 정정 값(30[%])을 초과함에 따라 결상사고가 정확하게 검출되어, 제안한 알고리즘이 결상사고 보호방식에 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

Islanding of PV systems occurs when the uitilty grid is removed but local sources continue to operate and provide power to local loads. Islanding Is one of the serious problems in an electric power system connected with dispersed power sources. Also, this scan present safety hazards and the possibility of damage to other electric equipments. If the real and reactive power of RLC load and PV system are closely matched, islanding phenomena can't be detected by the passive methods. Several active methods were proposed to detect islanding phenomena. The most effective method is SFS method which was suggested by Sandia National Laboratory. In this paper, a new anti-islanding algorithm is proposed and its validity is verified through simulation and experimental results for utility interconnection of PV 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.

Recently, the small scale photovoltaic (PV) electronic devices are drawing attention as the upcoming PV generation system. The PV system is commonly used in small scale PV applications such as LED lighting and cell phone. This paper proposes photovoltaic output sensorless (POS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a small scale charging system of PV-nickel metal hydride battery using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller. A converter is connected to a small scale PV cell and battery, and performs the POS MPPT at the battery terminal current instead of being at the PV cell output voltage and current. The FPGA controller and converter operate based on POS MPPT method. The experimental results show that the nickel metal hydride battery is charged by the maximum PV output power.

계통 연계형 태양광 발전 시스템이 정전 혹은 사고 등으로 계통으로부터 분리되었을 때 태양광 발전 시스템이 배전선 부하를 떠맡아 운전을 계속하는 현상을 고립운전이라 하는데 이런 상태가 지속되면 선로 유지보수자의 안전사고를 야기할 수 있으며 전기설비에 나쁜 영향을 줄 수도 있다. 수동 검출법은 연계점(PCC:Point of Common Coupling)의 전압이나 주파수를 측정하여 한계치를 벗어나면 고립운전으로 판단하는데 RLC 부하의 유효전력과 무효전력이 각각 PV 시스템의 유효전력, 무효전력과 서로 비슷하면 검출할 수 없다. 이 경우 고립운전을 검출하기 위한 다양한 능동 검출법이 제안되었으며 가장 효과적인 방법은 미국 샌디아 연구실(Sandia National Lab)에서 제안한 SFS법(Sandia Frequency Shift method)이다. 본 논문에서는 자동 위상 이동을 이용한 새로운 능동 검출기법을 제안하고 Matlab 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

Monitoring system is constructed for evaluating and analyzing performance of installed 50kW grid-connected PV system and have been monitored since October 2005. As climatic and irradiation conditions have been varied through long-term operation, there is necessity for evaluating numerical values of PV(Photovoltaic) system performance to observe the overall effect of environmental conditions on their operation characteristics. This paper presents performance monitoring results and analysis on component perspective(PV array and power conditioning system) and global perspective(yield, losses) of PV system for one year monitoring periods.

In general, electrolytic capacitors are used to reduce power pulsations on PV-panels. However, this can reduce the reliability of the PV AC-module system, because electrolytic capacitors have a shorter lifetime than PV-panels. In addition, PV-panels generate irregular power and inject it into the grid because the output power of a PV-panel depends on the surrounding conditions such as irradiation and temperature. To solve these problems, a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) AC-module with active power decoupling and energy storage is proposed. A parallel bi-directional converter is connected to the AC module to reduce the output power pulsations of PV-panels. Thus, the electrolytic capacitor can be replaced with a film capacitor. In addition, the irregular output power due to the surrounding conditions can be regulated by using a parallel energy storage circuit. To maintain the discontinuous conduction mode at low irradiation, the frequency control method is adopted. The design method of the proposed converter and the operation principles are introduced. An experimental prototype rated at 125W was built to verify the performance of the proposed converter.
