Photovoltaic (PV) systems are influenced by disproportionate impacts on energy production caused by frequent mismatch cases. The occurrence of multiple maximum power points (MPPs) adds complexity to the tracking process in various PV systems. However, current maximum-power point tracking (MPPT) techniques exhibit limited performance. This paper introduces an enhanced simulated annealing (ESA)-based GMPPT technique against multiple MPP issues in P-V curve with different PV system structures. The proposed technique not only distinguishes global and local MPPs but also performs rapid convergence speed and high tracking accuracy of irradiance changing and restart capability detection. Moreover, the proposed global maximum power tracking algorithm can be applied in the central converter of DMPPT and hybrid PV system to meet various application scenarios. Its effectiveness is verified by simulation and test results.

Generally, wind industry has been oriented to large power systems which require large windy areas and often need to overcome environment restrictions. However, small-scale wind turbines are closer to the consumers and have a large market potential, and much more efforts are required to become economically attractive. In this paper, a prototype of a small-scale urban wind generation system for battery charging application is described and a neural network based MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm which can be effectively applied to urban wind turbine system is proposed. Through Matlab based simulation studies and actual implementation of the proposed algorithm, the feasibility of the proposed scheme is verified.

This paper presents an analysis of the power gain under partial shading conditions (PSC) when the partial shade loss is being compensated in photovoltaic(PV) system. To analyze the power gain, our study divides the mismatch loss into partial shade loss and operating point loss. Partial shade loss is defined as the power difference between a normal string and a partially shaded string at the maximum power point (MPP). Operating point loss is defined as the power loss due to the operating point shift while following the MPP of the PV array. Partial shading in a PV system affects the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control by creating multiple MPPs, which causes mismatch losses. Several MPPT algorithms have been suggested to solve the multiple MPP problems. Among these, mismatch compensation algorithms require additional power to compensate for the mismatch loss; however, these algorithms do not consider the gain or loss between the input power required for compensation and the increased output power obtained after compensation. This paper analyzes the power gain resulting from the partial shade loss compensation under PSC, using the V-P curve of the PV system, and verifies that power gain existence by simulation and experiment.

본 논문은 태양광발전 시스템에서 P&O 방식 기반의 제어 기법인 duty 제어와 전류 제어 방식의 최대전력점 추종특성을 동일모드 조건에서 비교하였으며, 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 검증하였다. Duty 제어 방식은 P-V 특성곡선을 이용하여 전력과 전압의 변화량을 통해 duty 증감을 결정함으로써 동작점을 결정한다. 이와 달리, 전류 제어 방식은 P-I 특성곡선을 이용하여 전력과 전류의 변화량을 통해 전류 지령치를 생성하고 비례-적분제어기를 통해 전류제어를 수행하여 동작점을 결정한다. 두 가지 제어 방식의 정확한 비교를 위해 등가의 ${\Delta}duty$ 및 ${\Delta}I_{ref}$의 값을 선정하여 모드 변화에 따른 ${\Delta}V$의 변화를 동일하게 맞추었다. DC - DC 부스트 컨버터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션과 실험에 두 제어 방식의 태양광발전 시스템을 구성하여 태양광 전압과 전류, 에너지 측면에서 특성을 비교하였다. 최대 전력점이 1.7kW인 특성곡선 조건 하에서, 시뮬레이션과 실험의 결과로 두 방식은 동일 MPPT 모드 시 동일한 동작점에 존재하며, 같은 값의 전력을 출력하여 동일한 성능의 효율을 보임을 검증하였다.

This paper shows how to design a MPPT control of PV system using neural network PI self tuning. The conventional self-tuning methods have the voltage control problem of nonlinear PV system which can't adapt against any kinds of noise or operation circumstances. In this paper, supposed to solve these problem to PI parameters controller algorithm using ANN. In the proposed algorithm, the parameters of the controller were adjusted to reduce by on-line system the error of the output voltage of DC-DC chopper. In this process, EBPA NN was constituted to an output error value of a DC-DC chopper and conspired an input and output. The performance of the self-tuning controller is compared with that of the PI controller tuned by conventional method. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified thought the Matlab Simulink.

This paper proposes active power control and frequency support control schemes of wind turbine generation system by using modified Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator(PMSG). Most wind turbine generation system is completely decoupled from the power system and power output control with pitch control. According to the frequency deviation, however, MPPT control can not contribute to the frequency change of the power system due to its active power output control. For solving this, the de-loaded(DL) control scheme is constructed for the frequency support control, which is based on applying the active power output control in the rotor speed control of PMSG. The rotor speed by used in the proposed DL control scheme is increased more than the optimal rotor speed of MPPT, and then this speed improvement increases the saved kinetic energy(KE). In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, the case studies have been performed using the PSCAD/EMTDC. The results show that the proposed active power output control scheme(DL control and KE discharge control) works properly and the frequency response ability of the power system can be also improved with the frequency support of wind farm.

Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) Is used in wind power generation systems to maximize wind power turbin output power, irrespective of wind speed conditions and of the load electrical characteristics. In this paper we do the equivalent modeling the mechanical energy of wind power turbine according to wind speed into the synchronous generator. We analyse the equivalent modeling output part of rectifier into DC/DC converter input part theoretically. We design a control algorithm for variable voltage according to wind speed intensity and density so that load voltage of chopper is controlled steadily using the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control method. We analyse a battery charging characteristics and a charging circuit for power storage enabling the supply of stable power to the load. We design a system and do the modeling of it analytically so that it supplies a stable power to the load by constructing a DC-AC inverter point. Also we design a charging circuit usable in actual wind power generation system of 30kW and confirm its validity.
