태양전지의 출력 특성은 비선형이고 온도와 일사량에 많은 영향을 받는다. 최대전력점 추종 제어는 태양광 발전의 출력을 최대로 하기 위해 사용되는 제어기법이다. 태양광발전 시스템의 출력 및 효율을 증가 시키기 위해 더욱 우수한 최대전력점 추종 제어기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 발전 시스템의 효율을 개선하기 위해 일사량을 고려한 새로운 최대전력점 추종 제어 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시한 알고리즘은 종래의 P&O방법과 CV 방법을 혼합한 것이며, PSIM 시뮬레이터를 통하여 종래의 MPPT 알고리즘과 다양한 일사량 조건에서 성능시험을 비교하였다. 제시한 알고리즘은 종래의 알고리즘에 비해 출력의 자려진동없이 다양한 일사량에서 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 이로서 본 논문에서 제시한 HB 방법의 최대전력점 추종 제어 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증하였다.

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.

일반적으로 풍력발전은 광범위한 영역에 지속적인 바람을 요구하는 대형 시스템 위주로 개발이 되어왔다. 그러나 소형 풍력발전 시스템은 사용자에게 보다 친숙하고, 대형에 비해 보다 광범위한 적용이 가능하다는 점 때문에 최근 이에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 배터리 충전에 효과적으로 도입될 수 있는 도시형 풍력발전을 위한 프로토타입 시스템에 대해 기술하며, 프로토타입 시스템에 효과적으로 도입될 수 있는 인공신경망 기반의 최대 전력점 추종 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 Matlab기반의 다양한 시뮬레이션 및 실제 시스템 설계를 통해 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.

In this paper, a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for a PMSG-based variable speed wind power system is proposed using the fuzzy logic algorithm. The control algorithm is developed based on the normal hill climb searching (HCS) method, commonly used in wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The inputs of fuzzy-based controller are the derivations of DC output power and the step size of DC/DC converter duty cycles. The main advantages of the proposed MPPT method are no need to measure the wind velocity and the generator rotational speed. As such, the control algorithm is independent of turbine characteristics, achieving the fast dynamic responses with non-linear fuzzy systems. The effectiveness of the proposed MPPT strategy has been verified through the simulated results.

A wind generator (WG) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is presented here. It comprises of a variable-speed wind generator, a high-efficiency boost-type dc/dc converter and a control unit. The advantages of the aimed system are that it does not call for the knowledge of the wind speed or the optimal power characteristics and that it operates at a variable speed, thus providing high efficiency. The WG operates at variable speed and thus suffers lower stress on the shafts and gears compared to constant-speed systems. It results in a better exploitation of the available wind energy, especially in the low wind-speed range of 2.5-4.5 m/s. It does not depend on the WG wind and rotor-speed ratings or the dc/dc converter power rating. Higher reliability, lower complexity and cost, and less mechanical stress of the WG. It can be applied to battery-charging applications.

This paper presents a study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic arrays with only one current sensor. Initially, a review of MPPT methods with only a current sensor is performed with extension for a variety of dc/dc converters. Furthermore, the same topology is developed to achieve better performance in the presence of sensor offset and environmental noise. The proposed method is robust, cost effective, and behaves well dynamically and in the steady state. After a theoretical analysis of presented approach, its validity and effectiveness are verified by simulation and experimental results.

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 proposed a new MPPT algorithm based on perturb & observe(P&O) algorithm with experiment. The results shows that the new P&O algorithm has successfully tracked the MPOP, even in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, and has higher efficiency than ordinary algorithms.

A flyback inverter using voltage sensorless maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) AC modules is presented. PV AC modules for a power rating from 150 W to 300 W are generally required for their small size and low price because of the installation on the back side of PV modules. In the conventional MPPT technique for PV AC modules, sensors for detecting PV voltage and PV current are required to calculate the PV output power. However, system size and cost increase when the voltage sensor and current sensor are used because of the addition of the auxiliary circuit for the sensors. The proposed method uses only the current sensor to track the MPP point. Therefore, the proposed control method overcomes drawbacks of the conventional control method. Theoretical analysis, simulation, and experiment are performed to verify the proposed control method.

A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm using fuzzy controller was considered. MPPT method was implemented based on the voltage and reference PV voltage value was obtained from Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-model of PV modules. Therefore, measuring only the PV module voltage is adequate for MPPT operation. Fuzzy controller is used to directly control dc-dc buck converter. The simulation results have been used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The proposed method is compared with conventional PO(perturbation & observation), IC(Incremental Conductance) method. The nonlinearity and adaptiveness of fuzzy controller provided good performance under parameter variations such as solar irradiation.
