This paper proposes a comparison of Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) and Direct Power Control (DPC) under command mode transition for PMSG Wind Turbines (WT). Based on a neutral point clamped three level back to back type Voltage Source Converter (VSC), proposed control scheme automatically control the generated output power to satisfy a grid requirement from the hierarchical wind farm controller. Automatic command mode transition based on the dc-link voltage error provides a command mode changing between grid command and MPPT mode. It is confirmed through PLECS simulations in Matlab. Simulation result shows that proposed control scheme of VOC and DPC achieves a much shorter transient time of generated output power than the conventional control scheme of MPPT with optimal torque control and VOC under a step response. The proposed control scheme makes it possible to provide a good dynamic performance for PMSG wind turbines in order to generate a high quality output power.

This paper presents the photovoltaic(PV) water pumping system with a maximum power point tracking(MPPT). The wale- pumping system uses a variable speed single phase induction motor(SPIM) driven a centrifugal pimp by field oriented control(FOC) inverter. The MPPT using a DC-DC converter controlled the duty cycle to track maximum power from PV under different insolation conditions. The duty cycle directly relate with a flux producing current control($i_{ds}$). The FOC inverter uses a current control voltage source inverter(CC-VSI). The simulation results are shown that the characteristics and performance of drive system, which varies as each conditions of light by expresses in voltage ($V_{dq}$), current($I_{dq}$), speed of motor and torque.

In this study, we designed a digital fuzzy logic controller based on FPGA and microprocessor for MPPT of the sofar power generation system. A fuzzy algorithm to control the power tracking function of a boost converter has been built into the FPGA, and applied to the small scaled solar power generation system. The embodied controller showed a stable operation characteristic with the small output voltage ripple for the intensity change of solar radiation. This result proves that the implementation of the power tracking controller using FPGA is an effective way compared to the existing one using microprocessor.

In this paper, based on MATLAB which has characteristic that is simply applied to control algorithm and source modeling, photovoltaic modeling is implemented. Photovoltaic modeling is similarly performed PV array and simulated. Also, in order to output maximum power of PV, MPPT control is simulated. Moreover, simulation of converter is performed by means of PLECS (Piece wise Linear Electrical Simulation) which is easily made schematic of power electronics. Also, we compare simulation results and Sharp PV module and Suntech PV module. Finally, informative simulation of PV generation system is provided.

The studies on the photovoltaic system are extensively exhaustible and broadly available resourse as a future energy supply. In this paper, a new maximum power point tracker(MPPT) using neural network theory is proposed to improve energy conversion efficiency. The boost converter and neural network controller(NNC) were employed so that the operating point of solar cell was located at the Maximum Power Point. And the back propagation algorithm with one input layer of two inputs(E, CE) and output layer(cnntrol value) was applied to train a neural network. Simulation and experimental results show that the performance of NNC in MPPT of photovoltaic array is better than that of controller based upon the Hill Climbing Method.

This paper proposes a novel sensorless maximum power point tracking (11PPT) algorithm for PV systems. The method is based on dividing the operating time into several intervals in which the PV terminals are short circuited in one interval and the calculated short-current of the PV is obtained and used to determine the optimum operating point where the maximum output power can be obtained. The proposed MPPT algorithm has been introduced into a current-controlled boost converter whose duty ratio is controlled to the maintain MPP condition. The same sequence is then repeated regularly capturing the PV maximum power. The main advantage of this method is eliminating the current sensor. Meanwhile, this MPPT algorithm reduces the power oscillations around the peak power point which occurs with perturbation and observation algorithms. In addition, the total cost will decrease by removing the current sensor from the PV side. Finally, simulation results confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.

PV model is presented based on the shockley diode equation. The simple model has a photo-current source, an single diode junction and a series resistance and includes temperature dependences. An accurate PV module electrical model is presented, matching with boost converter MPPT strategy and demosntarted in Matlab for a typical general purpose solar cell. Given solar insolation and temperature, the model returns current vector and MPP.

본 논문은 PCS(Photovoltaic power system)에서 MPPT 구현을 위한 TLB 컨버터의 모델링 및 제어기 설계를 제안한다. TLB 컨버터는 기존 부스트 컨버터에 비해 인덕터 크기가 감소하고, 효율이 증가하는 장점이 있다. 하지만 듀티비 0.5를 기준으로 2개의 동작 모드가 존재하여 제어기 설계 시 각 모드에 대한 해석이 필요하다. 또한 토폴로지를 모델링을 함에 있어 비선형적인 특징을 갖는 태양전지의 출력을 고려해야하는 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양전지 출력 특성의 선형화 방정식을 이용하여 2가지 동작모드가 존재하는 TLB 컨버터를 각 모드별로 CCM 동작에서 분석하여 동일한 전달함수를 도출하였다. 이를 기반으로 MPPT 전압제어기를 설계하였으며, 제시된 모델링과 제어기는 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.
