Photovoltaic generation systems need MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control because the output power depends on the operating voltage and current. Therefore, many researchers propose various types of MPPT control methods. A new MPPT control scheme is proposed in this paper in order to realize higher efficiency with simple calculation. The line search algorithm with fibonacci sequence which is one of the optimizing method is employed for the MPPT. The line search method is modified for real-time operation. The method is verified by simulations and experiments. It is concluded that the scheme can respond fast variation of irradiance.

This paper presents the Performance of PV(Photovoltaic) system. the design of MPPT and the battery characteristic. The output power of PV depends on the environmental factors such as insolation and cell temperature. It is proposed that the MPPT is based on an simple power control algorithm. Furthermore the converter has to maintain the optimum duty ratio. A switching strategy of converter for battery may Protect against excessive discharge and overcharge. This paper includes discussion on system reliability power quality and effects of the randomness of the wind and the solar radiation on system design.

Mismatch of electrical characteristics of modules in PV string invokes mismatch power loss. The mismatch occurs due to various causes such as shadow, aging, contamination, and module exchange. The concept of mismatch compensation converter(MCC) is presented in this paper to remedy the mismatch loss problem. MCC is connected to irregular modules only. MCC is composed of dc-dc converter and MPPT controller. It is noted that MPPT algorithm is employed to control MCC and is effective for maximum power available from irregular modules. The selection guide of MPPT control period is given based on the period of MPPT in PCU. The effectiveness of the MCC is verified by a prototype experiment.

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.

Due to the high efficiency and compact mechanical structure, direct drive variable speed generators are used for power conversion in wind turbines. The wind energy conversion system (WECS) considered in this paper consists of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), uncontrolled rectifier, dc-dc boost converter controlled with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and adaptive hysteresis controlled voltage source inverter (VSI). For high utilization of the converter's power capability and stabilizing voltage and power flow, constant DC-link voltage is essential. Step and search MPPT algorithm which senses the rectified voltage ($V_{DC}$) alone and controls the same is used to effectively maximize the output power. The adaptive hysteresis band current control is characterized by fast dynamic response and constant switching frequency. With MPPT and adaptive hysteresis band current control in VSI, the DC link voltage is maintained constant under variable wind speeds and transient grid currents respectively.

Grid-connected photovoltaic generator system requires high performance PCS(Power Conditioning System) according to the standard of 'Distributed Generation Grid-Connected Technology Standards'. This paper presents the MPPT control method which improves output efficiency through fast tracking to the maximum power point of PV and a reduced self-excited vibration.

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.
