본 논문은 일사량 변화 시, 최대 출력점을 추종하는 태양광 발전시스템의 동적 응답특성을 향상시키기 위해 가변 스텝 사이즈 기반의 P&O (perturb & observe) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 기법은 일사량과 PV (photovoltaic) 전류 관계로부터 일사량 변화에 따른 최대 전력점 전류 $I_{MPP}$변화 특성을 이용하며, 새로운 I-V 곡선에서 PV 동작점을 최대 출력점으로 빠르게 이동시키는 고속모드와 정상상태 부근에서 정상상태 효율 향상을 위한 가변 스텝 모드로 구성된다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 $500W/m^2$와 $1000W/m^2$ 일사량 증감 조건에서 제안된 MPPT(maximum power point tracking) 기법의 추종 성능을 검증하였으며, MPPT 주기가 2초이고 일사량 $500W/m^2$과 $1000W/m^2$ 증감을 할 때 추종시간은 약 30초 정도이며, 정상상태 PV 전압변동은 약 0.1V로써 일사량 변화 조건에서 제안된 MPPT 기법의 알고리즘 성능을 검증하였다.

In this paper, MPPT(maximum power point tracking) control method of the seaflow generation system using DC-DC converters is proposed. This system consists of a variable speed seaflow generation system with permanent magnet synchronous generator, diode rectifier and DC-DC converter. In this proposed seaflow generation system, diode rectifier and DC-DC converter use for converting AC to DC and maximum power generation control, respectively. Advantages of MPPT control method presented in this paper don’t need to use the characteristic of the seaflow turbine at various seaflow speed and measure the seaflow speed and the rotating speed of seaflow turbine. Therefore, the proposed system has the characteristics of lower cost, lower complexity and higher efficiency. The effectiveness of algorithm is simulated and confirmed through Matlab Simulink.

To improve the drawback of LCMPPT(Limit Cycle Maximum Power Point Tracking) controller of the existing two power conversion stages, an advanced MPPT scheme of single power conversion stage is proposed in this paper. This topology is faster on the control speed by means of current control method and the system configuration is simpler. The Authors produce a battery charger by using a cost effective one-chip processor (PIC16F877A) and evaluate another application on the basis of simulation. As a result, the proposed new LCMPPT algorithm is confirmed to be stable and useful.

PV(Photovoltaic) cell의 출력 전력은 일사량이나 온도와 같은 외부환경의 영향을 받아 변화하게 되므로 PV cell은 전압과 전력의 출력에 있어 비선형적이다. 이와 같은 비선형적 관계로 인해 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)를 수행하는 것이 PV 시스템에서는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 PV의 전력-전압 출력 특성에서 MPP를 기준으로 양쪽 경사면의 기울기와 Section의 차이를 이용한 새로운 추종법을 제안하였다. P-V 특성 곡선에서 왼쪽 측면에 비해 오른쪽 측면이 큰 기울기를 갖는 동시에 좁은 Section을 가지므로 제안하는 알고리즘은 이러한 특성을 활용한다. 또한 EMTP를 이용하여 제안된 기법의 성능과 동작을 검증하였다.

The pumping of electric power from photovoltaic (PV) farms is normally carried out using transformers, which require heavy mounting structures and are thus costly, less efficient, and bulky. Therefore, transformerless schemes are developed for the injection of power into the grid. Compared with the H4 inverter topology, the H6 topology is a better choice for pumping PV power into the grid because of the reduced common mode current. This paper presents how the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) can be implemented in the H6 inverter topology along with the improved sinusoidal current injected to the grid at unity power factor with the average current mode control technique. On the basis of the P&O MPPT algorithm, a power reference for the present insolation level is first calculated. Maintaining this power reference and referring to the AC sine wave of bus bars, a sinusoidal current at unity power factor is injected to the grid. The proportional integral (PI) controller and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are designed and implemented. The FLC outperforms the PI controller in terms of conversion efficiency and injected power quality. A simulation in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment is carried out. An experimental prototype is built to validate the proposed idea. The dynamic and steady-state performances of the FLC controller are found to be better than those of the PI controller. The results are presented in this paper.

This paper relates to the development of a device for measuring the efficiency of a solar panel based on a variable constant current, and proposed a standard for reuse of the solar panel. By applying a variable constant current circuit to a solar panel efficiency measuring device, it was easy to apply a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm. In addition, a load dispersion method was applied to measure the efficiency of a high-capacity solar panel. and it is possible to solve a problematic thermal runaway during a MOSFET parallel operation by applying the load dispersion method. As a result of the experiment, the solar panel efficiency measuring device was able to accommodate a large solar panel of 350W, which is the maximum measurement goal. In this paper, the validity was confirmed through the 310W solar panel efficiency measurement experiment collected after removal.
