This paper analyzes a operating characteristic for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic generation system. MPPT methods are used to maximize PV array output power by tracking maximum power point(MPP) continuously. To increase the output efficiency of PV system, it is important to have more efficient MPPT. MPPT algorithm is widely used the control method such as the perturbation and observation(PO) method, incremental conductance(IC) method and constant voltage(CV) method. In case of the radiation is changed, this paper proposes a response characteristic with MPPT control algorithms. Also, it proposes the direct for a novel MPPT control algorithm development through the analyzed data, hereby proves the effectiveness of this paper.

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.

In this paper, the effectiveness of three different control algorithms are thoroughly investigated via simulation and a proposed efficiency evaluation method of experimentation. Both the steady state and transient characteristics of each control algorithm along with its measured efficiency are analyzed. Finally, a novel two-mode maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm combining the constant voltage control and the incremental conduction (IncCond) methods is proposed to improve the efficiency of the 3KW PV power generation system at different insolation conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed two-mode MPPT control provides excellent performance at less than 30% insolation intensity, covering the whole insolation area without additional hardware circuitry.

디지털 제어기에 의해 동작하는 단방향 DC-DC컨버터는 불연속 전도모드 구간에서 입력전류 기준치와 평균입력전류사이에 오차가 존재하여 MPPT 추종이 부정확하고 MPPT 효율 역시 낮아진다. 따라서 본 논문은 전류제어를 하는데 전류오차율을 2%까지 최소화할 수 있는 전류게인 전향보상기법을 이용하여 DCM 구간에서도 98%이상의 MPPT효율로 MPPT 수행이 가능함을 실험으로 증명하였다.

The power generation of a PV system changes according to the weather variables, such as solar radiation and temperature. In particular, the output characteristics of photovoltaic systems, which are sensitive to changes in solar radiation, can be produced effectively and reliably in various weather conditions through MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control. This paper proposes a fuzzy-based MPPT control method to improve the efficiency and stability of the power production from a solar system. To verify the performance of the proposed method, under the same weather environment, the efficiency and stability of the newly proposed fuzzy logic were compared and evaluated empirically with P&O (Perturb and Observe), a representative algorithm of MPPT control. Furthermore, the circuits designed to improve the reliability and reliability of the hardware were manufactured from Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) to conduct experiments. Based on the results of the experiment during a certain period, the fuzzy-based MPPT proposed in this paper improved the efficiency by more than 4.4% compared to the MPPT based on the existing P&O algorithm and decreased the fluctuation width by more than 39.7% at the maximum power point.

As the maximum power operating point(MPOP) of the Photovoltaic(PV) power systems alters with changing atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is important in PV power systems. Many MPPT techniques have been considered in the past, but techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. In this paper, the author analyzes and studies two MPPT algorithms, which is named P&O(Perturbation and Observation) and IncCond(Incremental Conductance). Also, the author proposes Hysterisis-band alteration algorithm. To show the excellency of new Hysterisis-band alteration, the author suggests three references; 1) Comparing three MPPT algorithms in the steady-state condition, 2) Representing irradiation variation rapidly, 3) Showing MPPT efficiency. MPPT simulation and experiment perform in the boost converter.
