The power generated by a Photovoltaic(PV) cell depends on the operating voltage of the array, its voltage-current and voltage-power characteristic curves specify a unique operating point at which maximum possible power is delivered and the array is operated at its highest efficiency. PSCAD/EMTDC, which is a simulation tool for the transient analysis of an electric power system, was used to simulate the PV Cell system. So, in this paper, the PV cell components of the PSCAD/EMTDC were developed, and the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) modeling was used for the developed PV power system to find the maximum power.

In order to prevent voltage collapse. this paper introduces the idea of the intelligent system and operating polices for a power system, then presents the results of voltage stability studies for that power system. The intelligent system includes a dedicated computer doing calculation and evaluation jobs and several intelligent relays serving as last guards to carry out the pre-set remedies. In the intelligent system, P-V curves are used to determine the operating margin from the current operating point to the maximum operating point, or the nose point. This paper suggests an operating guide for voltage stability of a power system. The effectiveness of location ad amount of load shedding for the different power load models are studied.

The applications of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have received a lot of attention both in terms of harvesting waste thermal energy and the need for multi-levels of power. It is critical to track the optimum electrical operating point using DC to DC converters controlled by a pulse that is generated through a maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT). In this paper, the hardware implementation of a short-current pulse algorithm has been demonstrated under steady stated and transient conditions. In addition, the MPPT algorithm has been proposed, which is one of the most effective and applicable algorithms for obtaining the maximum power point of TEGs. During this study, the proposed prototype has been validated both analytically and experimentally. It has also demonstrated successful performance, which highlights the claimed advantages of the proposed MPPT solution.

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 analyzes a operating characteristic for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic generation system. MPPT methods are used to maximize PV array output power by tracking maximum power point(MPP) continuously. To increase the output efficiency of PV system, it is important to have more efficient MPPT. MPPT algorithm is widely used the control method such as the perturbation and observation(PO) method, incremental conductance(IC) method and constant voltage(CV) method. In case of the radiation is changed, this paper proposes a response characteristic with MPPT control algorithms. Also, it proposes the direct for a novel MPPT control algorithm development through the analyzed data, hereby proves the effectiveness of this paper.

Power Dissipation and circuit speed become the most importance parameters in VLSI system maximum power dissipation for VLSI system design. We remodeled CMOS inverter according to the operating region, saturation region or linear regin, and calculate maximum power dissipation point of CMOS inverter. The result of proposed maximum power dissipation model compared with those from SPICE simulation which results that the proposed maximum power dissipation model has the error rate within 10% to SPICE simulation.

This paper proposes a loss minimization algorithm for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) by controlling the stator reactive power. The proposed strategy directly controls the rotor current to achieve the operating point of minimum generator loss and maximum power point tracking. The maximum power is obtained by tracking the q-axis rotor current with generator speed variation and the minimum generator loss is achieved by controlling the d-axis rotor current. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed scheme.

As well known, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems. MPPT finds and maintains the operation of PV at the maximum power point when the irradiation and cell-temperature change. In this paper, the studied system includes a PV array, a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and it is connected to the three phase power system. The solar array operates as a non-linear voltage source. The P&O algorithm with power feed-back is used to control the operating point of PV array at the maximum power point. The effects of irradiation and cell-temperature on the dynamic responses are also considered.
