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.

This paper presents a study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic arrays with only one current sensor. Initially, a review of MPPT methods with only a current sensor is performed with extension for a variety of dc/dc converters. Furthermore, the same topology is developed to achieve better performance in the presence of sensor offset and environmental noise. The proposed method is robust, cost effective, and behaves well dynamically and in the steady state. After a theoretical analysis of presented approach, its validity and effectiveness are verified by simulation and experimental results.

The paper addresses modeling and analysis of a grid-connected photovoltaic generation system (PV system). PSCAD/EMIDC. an industry standard simulation tool for studying the transient behavior of electric power system and apparatus. is used to conduct all aspects of model implementation and to carry out extensive simulation study. An equivalent circuit model of a solar cell has been used for modeling solar array. A PWM voltage source inverter (VSI) and its current control scheme have been implemented. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is employed for drawing the maximum available energy from the PV array. Comprehensive simulation results are presented to examine PV array behaviors and PV system control performance in response to irradiation changes. In addition, dynamic responses of PV array and system to network fault conditions are simulated and analysed

Currently, the commonly used method for PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) Inverter of the Solar Power Plant. However, the limit of the developing performance to the non-linear and switch devices of the Inverter. Therefore, we propose a model predictive control techniques applied to Laguerre functions. LMPC(Laguerre functions model predictive control) reduces the number of computations made and so online implementation becomes possible where traditional MPC would have fail. In this paper, we comment on the appropriate scope and functions degree of the LMPC inverter control. The simulation results from MATLAB are also provided.

This paper proposed a MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) control algorithm for PV(Photovoltaic) array based on a modified constant voltage control MPPT algorithm at low insolation. This method which combined a reference voltage control and a constant voltage control algorithm. In contrast to the typical conventional MPPT algorithm, the proposed method have been obtained high efficiency and good performance in all insolation intensity. The proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

저궤도 위성이 제한된 전력 내에서 임무를 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 효율적인 전력생산이 중요하다. 이를 위해 저궤도 소형위성의 전력계에서는 주로 MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) 방식을 사용하여 태양전지에서 생산되는 전력을 조절한다. 본 연구에서는 소형 큐브위성(KAUSAT-5)에 적용될 퍼지 로직 기반의 MPPT 알고리즘을 제안하며, 제안된 방법의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 MATLAB/Simulink와 STK (Systems Tool Kit)를 연동하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. Simulink와 STK를 이용하여 위성 궤도와 자세에 따른 태양 광량과 운용모드에 따라 변하는 부하용량에 대해 KAUSAT-5의 두 가지 지향모드에서 EBA(Energy Balance Analysis)를 수행하였고, 이를 통해 제안된 퍼지 로직 기반의 MPPT 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다. 제안된 퍼지 로직 기반의 MPPT는 가장 일반적인 방법의 하나인 P&O (Perturbation & Observation)와 성능을 비교하여 유용성을 확인하였다.

지구 온난화 문제와 화석 연료 양의 한계 때문에 재생 가능한 전력 생산에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 특히 재생 에너지 중 태양광 에너지의 전력 생산 비율은 점차 증가함에 따라 집광형 태양광발전 시스템은 높은 전력 생산량으로 각광받고 있다. 하지만 이 시스템은 태양광 중첩률이 높을 때 가장 높은 발전 효율을 내기 때문에 허용 오차 범위가 작은 정밀 태양 추적 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복잡한 환경에 대응할 수 있는 베이지안 네트워크와 나이브 베이즈 분류기를 이용한 계층적 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 베이지안 네트워크는 불완전하고 불확실한 상황을 모델링 하는데 강력한 모델로 충분한 양의 데이터가 없을 경우에도 도메인 지식을 바탕으로 네트워크를 설계할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 제안하는 계층적 확률 시스템에서는 불확실한 하늘 상황을 9개로 분류하고 모듈형 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 현재 날씨 상황을 추론한다. 또한 나이브 베이즈 분류기를 이용하여 추론된 날씨 상황을 고려한 효율적인 추적 방법을 분류하고 선택한다. 베이지안 네트워크의 유용성을 평가하기 위해 실제 날씨 데이터를 수집하였고 평균 93.9%의 정확도(Accuracy)를 보였다. 또한, 제안하는 시스템과 핀홀 카메라 시스템의 태양광발전 효율을 비교한 결과 약 16.58%의 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a novel MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm for power of PV(Photovoltaic) systems is presented using a boost converter for a connected single phase inverter. On the basic principle of power generation for the PV(photovoltaic) module, the model of a PV system is presented. On the basis of this model, simulation of this PV system and algorithms for maximum power point tracking are described by utilizing a boost converter to adjust the output voltage of the PV module. Based on output power of a boost converter, single phase inverter uses predicted current control to control four IGBT#s switch in full bridge. Furthermore, a low cost control system for solar energy conversion using the DSP is developed, based on the boost converter to adjust the output voltage of the PV module. The effectiveness of the proposed inverter system is confirmed experimentally and by means of simulation. Finally, experimental results confirm the superior performance of the proposed method.
