In this study, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on the perturb and observe (P&O) method with variable step size is proposed to improve the dynamic response characteristic of MPPT, using the existing P&O method. The proposed algorithm, which we verified by simulation and experiment, can track the maximum power point (MPP) through duty control and consisted of three operation modes, namely, constant voltage mode, fast mode, and variable step mode. When the insolation is constant, the voltage variation of the operating point at the MPP is reduced through the step size reduction of the duty in the variable step mode. Consequently, the vibration of the operating point is reduced, and the power generation efficiency is increased. When the insolation changes, the duty and the photovoltaic (PV) voltage are kept constant through the constant voltage mode. The operating point then rapidly tracks the new MPP through the fast-mode operation at the end of the insolation change. When the MPP is reached, the operation is changed to the variable step mode to reduce the duty step size and track the MPP. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment of a PV system composed of a PV panel and a boost converter.

This paper proposes the hybrid proportional integral(HBPI) controller for maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of photovoltaic system. The output characteristics of the solar cell are a nonlinear and affected by a temperature, the solar radiation and influence of a shadow. The MPPT control is a very important technique in order to increase an output and efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The conventional constant voltage(CV), perturbation and observation(PO) and incremental conductance(IC) are the method which finding maximum power point(MPP) by the continued self-excitation vibration, and uses the fixed step size. If the fixed step size is a large, the tracking speed of maximum power point is faster, but the tracking accuracy in the steady state is decreased. On the contrary, when the fixed step size is a small, the tracking accuracy is increased and the tracking speed is slower. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, this paper proposes HBPI controller that is adjusted gain of conventional PI control using fuzzy control, and the maximum power point tracks using this controller. The validity of the controller proposed in this paper proves through the results of the comparisons.

A new actuating mechanism suitable for a micro positioning device is developed using piezo-electric elements. The actuator can make a step movement of 0.5 .mu. m up to 3.5 .mu. m. The step size can be adjusted on demand. By repeating this step action, long distance movement is achieved. Precise positioning can be obtained by combining the coarse motion with the maximum step size and fine motion. Two types of fine motion have been proposed for a driving method. Firstly, feedback control bases on PID is applied. The experimental results for the two method are presented.

We present an efficient block-based motion estimation algorithm with motion analysis. The motion analysis determines a size of search pattern and a maximum repeated count of search pattern. In case of large movement in large image, we reduce search points and the local minimum which caused by low performance. The proposed algorithm employs with searching step of 2. The first step determines an initial search point with neighbor block vector and a size of initial search pattern. The second step determines a size of search pattern and a maximum repeated count with motion analysis. We improve motion prediction accuracy while reducing required computational complexity compared to other fast block-based motion estimation algorithms.

Renewable energy is promoted massively to overcome problems that fossil fuel power plants generate. One popular renewable energy type that offers easy installation is a photovoltaic (PV) system. However, the energy harvested through a PV system is not optimal because influenced by exposure to solar irradiance in the PV module, which is constantly changing caused by weather. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique was developed to maximize the energy potential harvested from the PV system. This paper presents the MPPT technique, which is operated on a new high-gain voltage DC/DC converter that has never been tested before for the MPPT technique in PV systems. Fuzzy logic (FL) was used to operate the MPPT technique on the converter. Conventional and adaptive perturb and observe (P&O) techniques based on variables step size were also used to operate the MPPT. The performance generated by the FL algorithm outperformed conventional and variable step-size P&O. It is evident that the oscillation caused by the FL algorithm is more petite than variables step-size and conventional P&O. Furthermore, FL's tracking speed algorithm for tracking MPP is twice as fast as conventional P&O.

본 논문은 QAM 신호를 전송하는 시스템에서 시분산 채널에서 발생되는 진폭과 위상 찌그러짐에 의한 부호간 간섭을 경감시키기 위한 적응 등화 알고리즘인 MMA (Multiple Modulus Algorithm)에서 오차 신호의 비선형 함수를 이용하여 등화 성능을 개선할 수 있는 VSS-MMA (Variable Step Size - MMA) 알고리즘에 관한 것이다. 기존 MMA에서는 고정 스텝 크기를 이용하여 적응 등화기의 탭 계수를 얻지만, 제안 VSS-MMA에서는 오차 신호의 비선형성을 기본으로 가변 스텝 크기를 적용하여 탭 계수를 얻을 수 있다. 가변 스텝 크기을 이용하므로서 기존 MMA보다 개선된 등화 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였으며, 이를 위한 성능 지수로는 등화기 출력 신호 성상도, 잔류 isi양, 최대 찌그러짐과 MSE, SER을 사용하였다.

This paper proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control algorithm for PV-Cell (Photo voltaic) based on Incremental Conductance MPPT algorithm. The ICN (Incremental Conductance method) algorithm is widely used due to the high tracking accuracy and adaptability to the rapidly changing isolation condition. In this paper, a modified ICN MPPT algorithm is proposed. This method adjusts automatically the step-size of reference to track the PV-Cell maximum power point, thus it improves the maximum power point tracking speed and accuracy.

본 논문은 디지털 부호를 전송할 때 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭을 줄일 수 있는 MMA (Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 적응 등화 알고리즘에 adaptive modulus와 adaptive step size 개념을 적용한 H-MMA (Hybrid-MMA) 알고리즘의 등화 성능평가에 관한 것이다. 기존의 MMA 적응 등화기의 탭 계수 갱신은 등화기 출력를 이용하여 오차 신호를 얻게 되므로 2차원 QAM 신호에서 진폭과 위상을 보상할 수 있지만, 이때 스텝 크기와 modulus는 고정되므로 등화 성능이 저하된다. 이와 같은 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 등화기 출력 신호의 크기에 비례토록 adaptive modulus와 적응 스텝 크기를 변화시킬 수 있는 Hybrid adaptive 개념을 MMA에 적용하므로서 2차원 QAM 신호에서 등화 성능을 개선할 수 있다. 논문에서 제안하는 H-MMA 알고리즘의 성능을 기존의 MMA 알고리즘과 비교하기 위하여 동일한 채널에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 수렴 속도에서는 제안 H-MMA가 MMA보다 다소 느려지지만, 정상 상태 이후 모든 성능 지수에서 훨씬 우월하며 등화 잡음이 감소됨을 확인하였다.

In this study, a variable step algorithm is proposed on the basis of the perturb and observe method. The proposed algorithm can follow the maximum power point (MPP) quickly when solar irradiance changes rapidly. The proposed technique uses the voltage change characteristic at the MPP when the environment changes because of insolation or temperature. The MPP is tracked through the voltage control using a variable step method. This method determines the sudden change of solar irradiance by setting the threshold value and operates in fast tracking mode to track the MPP rapidly. When the operation point reaches the MPP, the mode switches to the variable step mode to minimize the steady state error. In addition, the output disturbance is decreased through the optimization of the control method design. The performance of the proposed MPPT algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.
