In this paper, the simple analog MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the solar array of KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite). This method doesn't need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current and a measurement of the solar array temperature. It is consist of only two sample and hold circuits, two comparators, a flip-flop, and an integrator. The proposed MPPT algorithm is verified by the simulation for the 100[W] solar array.

In this paper , the simple MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control algorithm is proposed for the grid-connected photovoltaic power system.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems bosed on solar energy offer an environmentally friendly source of electricity. A key feature of such PV sysem is the efficiency of conversion at which the power converter stage can extract the energy from the PV arrays and deliver to the load. The Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV output for all sunshine conditions allows reduction of the cost installation and maximizes the power output from the PV panel. The proposed algorithm is to control the width of the pulse for battery charging based on the open voltage of the PV panel. As a lab results, the proposed system was implemented functions to adapt to the changes of the PV open voltage, and improved the charging efficiency.

일반적인 FOCV MPPT는 VOC와 VMPP와의 관계인 ${\alpha}$를 외부에서 지정해준다. 하지만 외부환경 (조도나 온도)에 따라서 태양전지의 ${\alpha}$값이 변화할 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 저전력 IoT 센서의 구동을 위한 태양열 에너지 하베스팅을 위해 IV Curve를 이용한 태양전지 전력 계싼회로를 제안한다. IV Curve를 이용한 태양전지 전력을 직접 계산하여 FOCV MPPT를 개선함으로써 보다 높은 효율의 MPPT가 가능하고 외부환경의 변화에도 충분히 Maximum Power Point Tracking이 가능해지게 된다.

This paper proposes a real-time implementation of an optimal operation of a double stage grid connected wind power system incorporating an active power filter (APF). The system is used to supply the nonlinear loads with harmonics and reactive power compensation. On the generator side, a new adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is proposed to track the maximum wind power point regardless of wind speed fluctuations. Whereas on the grid side, a modified predictive current control (PCC) algorithm is used to control the APF, and allow to ensure both compensating harmonic currents and injecting the generated power into the grid. Also a type 2 fuzzy logic controller is used to control the DC-link capacitor in order to improve the dynamic response of the APF, and to ensure a well-smoothed DC-Link capacitor voltage. The gained benefits from these proposed control algorithms are the main contribution in this work. The proposed control scheme is implemented on a small-scale wind energy conversion system (WECS) controlled by a dSPACE 1104 card. Experimental results show that the proposed T2FLC maintains the DC-Link capacitor voltage within the limit for injecting the power into the grid. In addition, the PCC of the APF guarantees a flexible settlement of real power exchanges from the WECS to the grid with a high power factor operation.

The paper proposes a novel control algorithm for tracking maximum power of PV generation system. The maximum power of PV array is determinated by a insolation and temperature. Prior considered the term in PV generation system is how maximum power point is accurately tracked. The paper proposes a FNN(Fuzzy Neural-Network) control algorithm so as to accurately track those maximum power points. The proposed control algorithm comprises the antecedence part of fuzzy rule and clustering method, multi-layer neural network in the consequent part. FNN has the advantages which are depicted both high performance and robustness in Fuzzy control and high adaptive control in Neural Network. Specially, it can show the outstanding control performance for parameter variations appling to non-linear character of PV array. In paper, the tracking speed and the accuracy prove the validity through comparing a proposed algorithm with a conventional one.

태양전지는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 출력 특성이 변화하여 최대전력을 얻을 수 있는 위치도 변화한다. 따라서 태양전지의 동작점을 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대전력점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking) 이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 P&O 방식처럼 자려진동을 하지 않고 최대 동작점에서 머물면서 동작하는 NOC(Non-Oscillation Control) 방법을 제안한다. 이 방식은 빠르게 최대 동작점을 찾을 수 있고 특히 급격한 일사량 변동에 대해 유리한 장점을 갖는다. 최종적으로 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 3KW급으로 수행된 MPPT 모의 실험을 제시한다.

태양광발전시스템은 낮은 효율의 PV 패널을 사용하여 최대의 전력을 생산하기 위해 PV 패널의 최대전력점에서 운전하는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어가 반드시 필요하다. 기존의 MPPT 알고리즘은 대부분 경사법에 기초하고 있으며 그 중 대표적인 방법이 P&O(Perturb and Observe) 알고리즘이다. P&O 알고리즘의 MPPT 성능을 좌우하는 두 가지 인수는 MPPT 제어주기와 변량전압의 크기이다. MPPT 제어기의 빠른 동특성과 극대화된 효율을 위한 최적의 MPPT 제어주기와 변량전압의 크기를 결정하기 위해서는 실제 날씨 환경에서 다양한 일사량 프로파일 패턴에 대한 MPPT 제어기의 성능분석이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 대한민국 중부지역의 전형적인 맑은 날씨와 흐린 날씨에서 실제 일사량을 측정하고, 취득한 일사량데이터를 기초로 저자가 개발한 다이오드 등가모델을 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 이를 기반으로 MPPT 제어주기의 설정값에 따른 PV 패널의 전력생산량을 예측하여 MPPT 목표 효율을 극대화할 수 있는 최적의 MPPT 제어주기를 제시한다.

This paper presents a transformer-based reconfigurable synchronous boost converter. The lowest maximum power point tracking (MPPT)-input voltage and peak efficiency of the proposed boost converter, 20 mV and 88%, respectively, were achieved using a reconfigurable synchronous structure, static power loss minimization design, and efficiency boost mode change (EBMC) method. The proposed reconfigurable synchronous structure for high efficiency enables both a transformer-based self-startup mode (TSM) and an inductor-based MPPT mode (IMM) with a power PMOS switch instead of a diode. In addition, a static power loss minimization design, which was developed to reduce the leakage current of the native switch and quiescent current of the control blocks, enables a low input operation voltage. Furthermore, the proposed EBMC method is able to change the TSM into IMM with no additional time or energy loss. A prototype chip was implemented using a $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process, and operates within an input voltage range of 9 mV to 1 V, and an output voltage range of 1 V to 3.3 V, and provides a maximum output power of 37 mW.
