Global environmental concerns and the ever increasing need of energy, coupled with steady progress in renewable energy technologies, are opening up new opportunities for utilization of renewable energy resources. Distributed electricity generation is a suitable option for sustainable development thanks to the load management benefits and the opportunity to provide electricity to remote areas. Solar energy being easy to harness, non-polluting and never ending is one of the best renewable energy sources for electricity generation in present and future time. Due to the random and intermittent nature of solar source, PV plants require the adoption of an energy storage and management system to compensate fluctuations and to meet the energy demand during night hours. This paper presents an efficient, economic and technical model for the design of a MPPT based grid connected PV with battery storage and management system. This system satisfies the energy demand through the PV based battery energy storage system. The aim is to present PV-BES system design and management strategy to maximize the system performance and economic profitability. PV-BES (photovoltaic based battery energy storage) system is operated in different modes to verify the system feasibility. In case of excess energy (mode 1), Li-ion batteries are charged using CC-CV mechanism effectively controlled by fuzzy logic based PID control system whereas during the time of insufficient power from PV system (mode 2), batteries are used as backup to compensate the power shortage at load and likewise other modes for different scenarios. This operational mode change in PV-BES system is implemented by State flow chart technique based on SOC, DC bus voltages and solar Irradiance. Performance of the proposed PV-BES system is verified by some simulations study. Simulation results showed that proposed system can overcome the disturbance of external environmental changes, and controls the energy flow in efficient and economical way.

To increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic, almost photovoltaic appliances are controlled by Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT). Existing most of the PV MPPT techniques have used power which multiplies sensed output current and voltage of the solar cell. However, these algorithms are unnecessarily complicated and too expensive for small and compact system. The other hand, the proposed MPPT technique is only one sensing of the MPPT converter's output current, so there is no need to insert another sensors of battery side. Therefore, this algorithm is simpler compared to the traditional approach and is suitable for low power solar system. Further, the novel proper charge/discharge algorithm for the battery with PV MPPT is developed. In this algorithm, there is CC battery charge mode and load discharge mode of the PV cell & battery dual. Also we design current control to regulate allowable current during the battery charging. The proposed algorithm will be applicable to battery included solar cell applications like solar lantern and solar remote control car. Finally, the proposed method has been verified with computer simulation.

In photovoltaic system, the characteristics of photovoltaic module such as open circuit voltage and short circuit current will be changed because of cell temperature and solar radiation. Therefore, the boost converter of a PV system connects between the output of photovoltaic system and DC link capacitor of grid connected inverter as controlling duty ratio for maximum power point tracking(MPPT). This paper shows the dynamic characteristics of the boost converter by comparing single-loop and two-loop control algorithm using both analog and digital control. Both proposed compensation methods have been verified with computer simulation to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control schemes.

The frequency of a power system should be kept within limits to produce high-quality electricity. For a power system with a high penetration of wind generators (WGs), difficulties might arise in maintaining the frequency, because modern variable speed WGs operate based on the maximum power point tracking control scheme. On the other hand, the wind speed that arrives at a downstream WG is decreased after having passed one WG due to the wake effect. The rotor speed of each WG may be different from others. This paper proposes an algorithm for assigning the droop of each WG in a wind power plant (WPP) based on the rotor speed for the virtual inertial control considering the wake effect. It assumes that each WG in the WPP has two auxiliary loops for the virtual inertial control, i.e. the frequency deviation loop and the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) loop. To release more kinetic energy, the proposed algorithm assigns the droop of each WG, which is the gain of the frequency deviation loop, depending on the rotor speed of each WG, while the gains for the ROCOF loop of all WGs are set to be equal. The performance of the algorithm is investigated for a model system with five synchronous generators and a WPP, which consists of 15 doubly-fed induction generators, by varying the wind direction as well as the wind speed. The results clearly indicate that the algorithm successfully reduces the frequency nadir as a WG with high wind speed releases more kinetic energy for the virtual inertial control. The algorithm might help maximize the contribution of the WPP to the frequency support.

In order to verify the efficiency or availability and stability of photovoltaic(PV) generation systems, huge system apparatuses are needed, in general, in which an actual size of solar panel, a type of converter system and some amount of load facilities should be installed in a particular location. It is also hardly possible to compare a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control scheme with others under the same weather and load conditions in an actual PV generation system. The only and a possible way to bring above-mentioned problem to be solved is to realize a transient simulation scheme for PV generation systems using real weather conditions such as insolation and surface temperature of solar cell. The authors, in this paper, introduces a novel simulation method, which is based on a real-time digital simulator (RTDS), for PV generation systems under the real weather conditions. Firstly, VI characteristic equation of a solar cell is developed as an empirical formula and reconstructed in the RTDS system, then the real data of weather conditions are interfaced to the analogue inputs of the RTDS. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme in this paper. The results shows that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency or availability and stability of PV generation systems and the comparison research of various control schemes like MPPT under the same real weather conditions are possible.

본 논문에서는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 기능을 갖는 열에너지 하베스팅을 위한 DC-DC컨버터를 설계하였다. 설계된 회로는 열전소자로부터 수확된 낮은 전압을 변환하여 부하에 승압된 전압을 공급한다. 시동회로는 제어기가 동작할 수 있는 VDD를 공급하고 결과적으로 Main 부스트 변환기의 파워스위치를 ON/OFF하게 되며, 스위칭 동작을 통해 부하에 승압된 전압을 공급한다. Bulk-driven 비교기를 이용하여 낮은 전압에서도 비교동작을 가능하게 하였고, 이를 이용하여 시스템 효율을 높이고, 전압안정화 동작을 하게 된다. 최대 효율은 76%이다. 제안된 회로는 0.35um CMOS 공정으로 설계되었으며, 모의실험을 통하여 동작을 검증하였다. 설계된 회로의 칩 면적은 $933um{\times}769um$이다.

최근, 화석연료 고갈과 온실 가스 배출에 대한 우려가 높아지면서 신·재생 에너지 기술에 대한 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 휴대용 전자기기 및 웨어러블 디바이스의 수요가 증가하고 IT기기들이 소형화되면서 배터리의 크기, 사용시간 등의 한계를 극복하기 위한 기술로 에너지 하베스팅이 있다. 본 논문에서는 열전소자의 V-I 특성곡선과 내부저항을 분석하고, 기존의 MPPT제어방식을 비교하였다. P&O제어방식은 열전소자의 전압, 전류를 측정하기 위한 센서 2개를 사용해야하기 때문에 경제적으로 비효율적이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 출력전압 조절을 위한 센서1개만을 이용하여 MPP를 추적하는 새로운 MPPT제어방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 MPPT제어방식은 duty ratio와 부하의 출력전압의 관계를 이용하였으며, DC-DC Converter의 출력전압을 주기적으로 샘플링하여 duty ratio를 증가 또는 감소시켜 최적의 duty ratio를 찾아 MPP를 유지하도록 제어된다. DC-DC Converter는 Two-Switch 토폴로지인 Cascaded boost-Buck Converter를 이용하여 회로도를 설계하였다. 제안된 MPPT 제어방식은 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 이용한 모의실험을 통하여 검증하였고, 그 결과 열전소자의 V-I 특성곡선으로부터 얻어지는 MPP에서 전압×전류 및 전력값(V=4.2V, I=2.5A, P=10.5W)과 일치함을 확인하였다.
