This paper presents a maximum power point tracking algorithm for Photovoltaic array using only instantaneous output current information. The conventional Hill climbing method of peak power tracking has a disadvantage of oscillations about the maximum power point. To overcome this problem, we have developed an algorithm that will estimate the duty ratio corresponding to maximum power operation of solar cell. The estimation of the optimal duty ratio involves, finding the duty ratio at which integral value of output current is maximum. For the estimation, we have used the well know Lagrange's interpolation method. This method can track maximum power point quickly even for changing solar isolation and avoids oscillations after reaching the maximum power point.

Most maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control algorithm is based on Perturb and Observe(P&O) and Incremental Conductance(IncCond). In comparison with P&O and IncCond algorithm, the dynamic and tracking characteristic of IncCond algorithm is better than P&O algorithm in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. But in the case of digital implementation, the InCond algorithm has error en decision of maximum power operation point(MPOP). To solve this problem, this paper proposes a improved IncCond algorithm, which can determine the MPOP correctly by inserting the test signal in control input. This paper proposes a novel MPPT control algorithm for the digitally implemented photovoltaic system in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. To verify the validity of the proposed control algorithm. the computer simulation and experiment are carried out.

In this paper. a prototype of a mobile Sun tracking system is proposed. The proposed system uses 2-axis tilt sensor and 3-axis magnetic sensor to measure the orientation and the posture of the system according to the horizontal system of coordinates, which are used to compensate the slope effects. Then through astronomical calculation using the time and position information obtained by GPS sensor the azimuth and altitude of the Sun from that location is calculated. The position of the Sun is converted to that of the mobile Sun tracking system coordinates and used to control A-axis and C-axis of the system.

In solar power system, the height and azimuth of the sun are important parameters which control generated power magnitude. The tracking method that controls the daily generation magnitude according to latitude and longitude using the two axles is often used in the existing sunlight tracking system today. In this two-axle PV track control system, the self-load is concentrated on one FRAME. It is influenced of the regular load, snow load and the wind load, etc. It is difficult to set up the system in the conventional building. This research is a development about the small-scale economy track device of independent load-dispersing solar generation system. The position tracking algorithm is through the new coordinates transformation calculating the height and azimuth of the sun.

The solar cell has an optimum operating point to be able to got maximum power. To obtain maximum power from Photovoltaic array, hotovoltaic power system usually requres maximum power point c tracking controller. The output characteristics of solar cell are nonlinear, and these characteristics vary with load solar insolation, solar cell temperature. Therefore the tracking control of maximum power point is the com-plicated problem. This paper presents power characteristics of residential Photovoltaic system applying a buck-boost conversion system.

A control system for solar thermal power plant is the control system to coordinate the whole system's operation, including management of distributed control systems, process control for optimal operation of total system, monitoring system operating conditions and doing administrative functions. This work, as a progress report, presents the results obtained so far in building a control system for the 1MW solar thermal power plant. To make the control system, we first defined the control system's hierarchy and classified the role of each layer. Then, as the first stage of making control system, we designed and developed the sun tracking control system for heliostat.

This paper aims at enhancing the electric production efficiency of photovoltaic(PV) system. The electrical power of PV system is proportional to light intensity on a PV module surface. In this paper, we apply two types of systems to enhance power generation efficiency. First, of all, concentring sunlight using specular surface and one-axis tracking system which traces the sun with vertical direction are applied in this project. From this, we analyze the fixed type method and power generation efficiency.

본 연구에서는 태양광 발전시스템의 최대전력추종을 위해 퍼지 이론을 도입한 디지털 퍼지제어기를 설계하였다. 그리고 퍼지제어기의 디지털 설계를 위해 소용량 태양광 발전시스템의 각 부분을 구성하고 이를 적용하여 기존의 제어기와 비교 실험하였다. FPGA로 구현된 제어기는 기존의 마이크로프로세서로 구현된 제어기에 비해 일사량 변화에도 출력전압의 변동이 적은 안정적인 동작특성을 보였다.
