태양광 어레이는 일사량과 온도에 의해 출력 특성이 변화하여 전역 최대 전력 점 추종 기법(GMPPT, Global Maximum Power Point Tracking)을 필요로 한다. 기존의 P&O, IncCond 등의 알고리즘은 음영이 발생한 태양광 어레이에서 전역 최대 전력 점을 추종하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 어레이의 전압, 전류와 전력의 상관관계를 이용하여 전역 최대 전력점을 추종하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 제어기법은 3kW 태양광 인버터 시스템을 구성하여 시뮬레이션을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

A novel integrated battery charger/discharger converter for a standardized battery module is proposed. Instead of using separate charger and discharger converters. it integrates these two converters into a single converter in order to minimize the size. the integrated charger/discharger converter not only regulates the solar array output power including the peak power tracking capability but also controls the battery charging/discharging current depending on the solar array output power and the load power. In addition it offers a regulated bus voltage which simplifies the power distribution/conversion for the pay load.

An intelligent accurate sun tracking controller for solar lighting system was developed. This controller can detect the faulty sensor and correct the error signal based on Principle Component Analysis theory. A fuzzy controller was developed to control the tracker by using the collected sensor signal for precise position control. Also a multiple range searching sensor module for sun tracking was designed. To show the validity of the developed system, some experiments in the field were illustrated.

Variable step size maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) are widely used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to extract the peak array power which depends on solar irradiation and array temperature. One essential factor which judges system dynamics and steady state performances is the scaling factor (N), which is used to update the controlling equation in the tracking algorithm to determine a new duty cycle. This paper proposes a novel stability study of variable step size incremental resistance maximum power point tracking (INR MPPT). The main contribution of this analysis appears when developing the overall small signal model of the PV system. Therefore, by using linear control theory, the boundary value of the scaling factor can be determined. The theoretical analysis and the design principle of the proposed stability analysis have been validated using MATLAB simulations, and experimentally using a fixed point digital signal processor (TMS320F2808).

Photovoltaic (PV) pumping systems with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique aims at obtaining the highest possible power to the pump under various insolation and temperature, thus overcomes the mismatch between the photovoltaic panel and the pumping load. A simple method of tracking the maximum power points and forcing the system to operate close to these points is presented in this paper. The MC68HC908GP32 micro control unit (MCU) is employed to implement the proposed MPPT controller. Experimental results will also show the performances of the photovoltaic pumping system with the MPPT technique.

Photovoltaic(PV) power generation system has been extensively studied and watched with keen interest as a clean and renewable power source. On the other hand, because the output power of solar cell is not only unstable but uncontrollable, the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control is still hot issue with the tracking failure left unsolved under the sudden fluctuation of irradiance. Hence, in this paper, we introduce the mechanism of the tracking failure under the fluctuation of irradiance, and show the simulation results using SPRW(simulation method for PV power generation system using real weather conditions).

In this study, the pivotless tracking type floating photovoltaic system was demonstrated successfully. The photovoltaic modules were installed on buoyant objects and the dynamic stability reinforcement mooring gear, tension control equipment and buoyant stabilizer were used to provide enough buoyance and stability and response to the external environment. After installation of the pivotless tracking type floating photovoltaic system, generated solar energy was collected and analyzed.

Photovoltaic system has very low energy conversion efficiency and the output characteristics of solar cell is varied by the Insolation quantity and the temperature. In order to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic system, the energy which has got from solar cell must be use maximum. In this paper, it was stimultaneous executed both MPPT control and instrumentation in order that the operating point of solar cell is located maximum power point, using the PWM inverter and micro-computer, which is for the purpose of acquiring maximum power from the solar cell. As a result, maximum power point tracking had carried out and the efficiency of photovoltaic system improved, even if insolation quantity and the temperature are varied.

In this paper, the simple analog MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the solar array of KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite). This method doesn't need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current and a measurement of the solar array temperature. It is consist of only two sample and hold circuits, two comparators, a flip-flop, and an integrator. The proposed MPPT algorithm is verified by the simulation for the 100[W] solar array.
