In this paper proposed the solar tracking system to use a fuzzy based on PC in of order to increase an output of the PV(Photovoltaic) array. The solar tracking system operated two DC motors driving by signal of photo sensor. The control of dual axes is not an easy task due to nonlinear dynamics and unavailability of the parameters. Recently, artificial intelligent control of the fuzzy control, neural-network and genetic algorithm etc. have been studies. The fuzzy control made a nonlinear dynamics to well perform and had a robust and highly efficient characteristic about a parameter variable as well as a nonlinear characteristic. Hence the fuzzy control was used to perform the tracking system after comparing with error values of setting-up, nonlinear altitude and azimuth. In this paper designed a fuzzy controller for improving output of PV array and evaluated comparison with efficient of conventional PI controller. The data which were obtained by experiment were able to show a validity of the proposed controller.

In this paper, the transformerless three-phase line-connected PV PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system) is proposed. An improved P&O (perturb and observe) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that prevents local maximum power point tracking is proposed. By controlling the three-phase line-connected voltage source inverter using outer DC-link voltage controller, inner current controller and microcontroller friendly simplified space vector modulation (SVM) method, a unity power factor is achieved. An algorithm is suggested to control the DC-link voltage faster and more correctly for the increase system stability and power factor. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed algorithms and controllers is proved by experiments.

태양광 패널 등가모델을 결합한 태양광 발전 패널 모의 장치(SAS)는 정확도 면에서 많은 장점이 있다. 특히 SAS에서 사용되는 등가회로 모델은 주변 환경에 맞게 빠르게 변하는 I-V 출력특성을 추출하며, 추출시간이 짧다. 이러한 방법을 이용하려면 제어기를 주목해야하는데, 보통 전압 또는 전류 제어기 하나만 사용한다. 하지만 Fill factor가 높은 패널인 경우, 전압 또는 전류제어기 하나만 사용하여서는 제어가 잘 되지 않기 때문에 본 논문에서는 전압과 전류제어기 모두 사용하되, 필요에 따라 스위칭 하여 사용하는 하이브리드 제어기법을 제안한다. 이러한 기법을 통하여 모두 제어가 가능한 기법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 유사 DC-Link 타입의 태양광 마이크로 인버터에서 요구되는 대용량의 전해 커패시터의 단점을 지적하고 이를 제거하기 위해 shunt 방식으로 연결되는 양방향 벅-부스트 컨버터 제어방법을 제안한다. 태양광 마이크로 인버터는 동작 특성상 PV 입력단에 120Hz 리플이 존재하지만 대용량의 전해 커패시터를 적용함으로써 리플을 제거할 수 있다. 하지만 전해 커패시터의 짧은 수명이 전체 시스템의 신뢰성을 저하시키기 때문에 이를 극복하기 위한 부가적인 회로가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 제안한 1차측의 플라이백 스위치 전류 제어기의 레퍼런스를 공유함으로써 전류 센서수를 감소시키고 PV 입력단 Capacitance를 낮출 수 있는 양방향 벅-부스트 회로의 제어기를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.

A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm using fuzzy controller was considered. MPPT method was implemented based on the voltage and reference PV voltage value was obtained from Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-model of PV modules. Therefore, measuring only the PV module voltage is adequate for MPPT operation. Fuzzy controller is used to directly control dc-dc buck converter. The simulation results have been used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The proposed method is compared with conventional PO(perturbation & observation), IC(Incremental Conductance) method. The nonlinearity and adaptiveness of fuzzy controller provided good performance under parameter variations such as solar irradiation.

Nowadays, the PV systems have been focused on the grid connection between the power source and the grid. The PV inverter can be considered as the core of the whole system because of an important role in the grid-interfacing operation. An important issue in the inverter control is the load current regulation. In the literature, Proportional Integral (PI) controller, which is normally used in the current-controlled Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), cannot be a satisfactory controller for an AC system because of the steady-sate error and the poor disturbance rejection, especially in high-frequency range. Compared with conventional PI controller, Proportional Resonant (PR) controller can introduce an infinite gain at the fundamental frequency of the AC source; hence it can achieve the zero steady-state error without requiring the complex transformation and the de-coupling technique. Theoretical analyses of both PI and PR controller are presented and verified by simulation and experiment. Both controller are implemented in a 32-bit fixed-point TMS320F2812 DSP processor and evaluated on a 3kW experimental prototype PV Power Conditioning System (PCS). Simulation and experimental results are shown to verify the controller performances.

In this paper, the modular line-connected photovoltaic PCS (photovoltaic power conditioning system) is proposed. A step-up DC-DC converter using a active-clamp circuit and a dual series-resonant rectifier is proposed to achieve a high efficiency and a high input-output voltage ratio efficiently. An IncCond (incremental conductance) MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm that improves MPPT characteristic is used. The PV module current is estimated without using a DC current sensor. By control a inverter using a linearized output current controller, a unity power factor is achieved. All algorithms and controllers are implemented on a single-chip microcontroller and the superiority of the proposed DC-DC converter and controllers is proved by experiments.
