일사량과 온도에 의해 태양광 어레이의 최대전력동작점(MPOP)이 결정되며 태양광발전시스템에서 중요하게 고려해야 할 사항 중 하나는 최대전력동작점을 정확하게 추종하도록 하는 것이다. 과거부터 여러 최대전력추종제어기법(MPPT)들이 사용되어 왔지만, 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 최대전력추종제어기법은 다른 태양광 어레이와의 호환성, 적응성 측면에서 유리하다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 P&O, IncCond 알고리즘에 대한 분석과 새로운 히스테리시스밴드 변동 기법을 제안한다. 새로 제안된 제어기법의 우수성을 나타내주기 위하여 저자는 3가지의 기준을 만들어서 각 기법을 비교 및 분석하였다. 첫째로, 정상상태에서의 각 기법의 파형을 살펴보았고, 다음으로 일사량을 급변하였을 경우의 파형을 나타내었고, 마지막으로 일사량에 따른 MPPT 추종효율을 보였다. MPPT 시뮬레이션과 실험은 부스트 컨버터에서 수행하였다.

This research suggests maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the solar photovoltaic (PV) power scheme using a new constant voltage (CV) fractional order incremental conductance (FOINC) algorithm. The PV panel has low transformation efficiency and power output of PV panel depends on the change in weather conditions. Possible extracting power can be raised to a battery load utilizing a MPPT algorithm. Among all the MPPT strategies, the incremental conductance (INC) algorithm is mostly employed due to easy implementation, less fluctuations and faster tracking, which is not only has the merits of INC, fractional order can deliver a dynamic mathematical modelling to define non-linear physiognomies. CV-FOINC variation as dynamic variable is exploited to regulate the PV power toward the peak operating point. For a lesser scale photovoltaic conversion scheme, the suggested technique is validated by simulation with dissimilar operating conditions. Contributions are made in numerous aspects of the entire system, including new control algorithm design, system simulation, converter design, programming into simulation environment and experimental setup. The results confirm that the small tracking period and practicality in tracking of photovoltaic array.

부스트 컨버터를 이용하여 열전소자의 전력을 전달하는 회로를 이용하여 최대전력점 추적회로를 제안하였다. 제안하는 최대 전력점 추적회로는 2개의 비교기를 사용하여 연속된 샘플링 전압을 비교하고 최대전력점을 갖는 입력 펄스 신호의 듀티비에서 열전 발전소자의 전력 구동회로가 동작하도록 하는 것이다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서는 두 클럭 이내에서 최대전력점을 찾았으며, 3 클럭 이내에서 최적의 PWM 신호를 만들었다. 제안한 최대전력점 추적회로는 0.18 um CMOS 공정으로 설계하였으며 제작중이다.

In order to increase the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system, a new algorithm that can follow the maximum power point of the photovoltaic power generation system having nonlinear output characteristics is proposed. Conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms such as Perturbation and Observation (P&O) and InCond (Increment and Conductance) schemes can not find the global maximum power point at a plurality of pole points in the unmatched state of unbalanced PV modules. However, even if the global maximum power point is found at a plurality of pole points, the global maximum power that can not be the real maximum power by the photovoltaic generation system. In order to solve this problem, a few PV companies propose installing several small PV inverters instead of if big one. However, since this will require additional costs, we herein propose a Multi-MPPT system using individual 3-point MPPT to track true MPPT at a plurality of pole points in the unmatched state of unbalanced PV modules.

Partial shading on a Photo Voltaic panel can generate the local maximum power points on the powervoltage curve of the panel. Presence of the local peaks can disturb the efficient operation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT).In this study, the MPPT under partial shading condition is investigated. To circumvent the trappings into the local peaks, the results of the study are enumerated and discussed.

Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques are used in photovoltaic systems to maximize the PV array output power by tracking continuously the maximum power point which depends on panels temperature and on irradiance conditions. In this paper, the controller of the stand-alone PV system applicable to various fields are designed. The improved P&O MPPT and traditional P&O MPPT method was applied. This improved algorithm consists of a constant perturbation with an step control which will make easier the controller PV power data acquisition process. This strategy of control has, in first time, been validated by PSIM simulations. After, been field test. The experimental results show that the improved P&O method increased the PV output power compare to traditional P&O method.

This paper proposes the control method of MPPT(maximum power point tracking) for the wind energy generation system using the duty ratio control of boost type DC-DC converter. For a lower cost and a higher reliability, the wind and the generator velocity sensors are removed. MPPT control is implemented by changing the duty ratio of the boost converter. Chain rule is applied by using each function. The grid side inverter is controlled to regulate unity power factor. The proposed control method was analyzed mathematically and verified by the computer simulation using PSIM.

Conventional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods are ineffective under partially shaded conditions because multiple local maximum can be exhibited on power-voltage characteristic curve. This study proposes an improved cuckoo search (ICS) MPPT method after investigating the cuckoo search (CS) algorithm applied in solving multiple MPPT. The algorithm eliminates the random step in the original CS algorithm, and the conception of low-power, high-power, normal and marked zones are introduced. The adaptive step adjustment is also realized according to the different stages of the nest position. This algorithm adopts the large step in low-power and marked zones to reduce search time, and a small step in high-power zone is used to improve search accuracy. Finally, simulation and experiment results indicate that the promoted ICS algorithm can immediately and accurately track the global maximum under partially shaded conditions, and the array output efficiency can be improved.

Renewable energy is promoted massively to overcome problems that fossil fuel power plants generate. One popular renewable energy type that offers easy installation is a photovoltaic (PV) system. However, the energy harvested through a PV system is not optimal because influenced by exposure to solar irradiance in the PV module, which is constantly changing caused by weather. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique was developed to maximize the energy potential harvested from the PV system. This paper presents the MPPT technique, which is operated on a new high-gain voltage DC/DC converter that has never been tested before for the MPPT technique in PV systems. Fuzzy logic (FL) was used to operate the MPPT technique on the converter. Conventional and adaptive perturb and observe (P&O) techniques based on variables step size were also used to operate the MPPT. The performance generated by the FL algorithm outperformed conventional and variable step-size P&O. It is evident that the oscillation caused by the FL algorithm is more petite than variables step-size and conventional P&O. Furthermore, FL's tracking speed algorithm for tracking MPP is twice as fast as conventional P&O.
