To increase the efficiency of a wind energy conversion system (WECS), the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is usually employed. This paper proposes an optimal MPPT algorithm which tracks a sudden wind speed change condition fast. The proposed method can be implemented without the prior information on the wind turbine parameters, generator parameters, air density or wind speed. By investigating the directions of changes of the mechanical output power in wind turbine and rotor speed of the generator, the proposed MPPT algorithm is able to determine an optimal speed to achieve the maximum power point. Then, this optimal speed is set to the reference of the speed control loop. As a result, the proposed MPPT algorithm forces the system to operate at the maximum power point by using a three-phase converter. The simulation results based on the PSIM are given to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The main objective of this paper is to design DC-DC MPPT circuit using chaotic pulse width modulation to track maximum power from solar PV module for space application. The direct control method of tracking is used to extract maximum power. The nominal duty cycle of the main switch of DC-DC SEPIC converter is adjusted so that the solar panel output impedance is equal to the input resistance of the SEPIC converter which results better spectral performance in the tracked voltages when compared to conventional PWM control. The conversion efficiency of the proposed MPPT system is increased when CPWM is used as a control scheme

In this paper, the effectiveness of three different control algorithms are thoroughly investigated via simulation and a proposed efficiency evaluation method of experimentation. Both the steady state and transient characteristics of each control algorithm along with its measured efficiency are analyzed. Finally, a novel two-mode maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm combining the constant voltage control and the incremental conduction (IncCond) methods is proposed to improve the efficiency of the 3KW PV power generation system at different insolation conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed two-mode MPPT control provides excellent performance at less than 30% insolation intensity, covering the whole insolation area without additional hardware circuitry.

In this study, a variable step algorithm is proposed on the basis of the perturb and observe method. The proposed algorithm can follow the maximum power point (MPP) quickly when solar irradiance changes rapidly. The proposed technique uses the voltage change characteristic at the MPP when the environment changes because of insolation or temperature. The MPP is tracked through the voltage control using a variable step method. This method determines the sudden change of solar irradiance by setting the threshold value and operates in fast tracking mode to track the MPP rapidly. When the operation point reaches the MPP, the mode switches to the variable step mode to minimize the steady state error. In addition, the output disturbance is decreased through the optimization of the control method design. The performance of the proposed MPPT algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment.

Of two photovoltaic systems such as stand-alone type and utility interactive one, the utility interactive systems are so valuable for power peak-cut particularly in summer season. For the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) by which the generated energy can be maximized, many control methods have been reported up to now. To overcome the disadvantages of the conventional ones, a new MPPT algorithm is proposed which can improve both tracking ability and generating efficiency of photovoltaic system without chopper.

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.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging control are two important functions for a solar battery charger. The former improves utilization of the available solar energy, while the latter ensures a prolonged battery life. Nevertheless, complete implementation of both functions can be complex and costly, especially for low voltage application such as standalone street lamps. In this paper, the operation of a solar battery charger for standalone street light systems is investigated. Using only one voltage sensor, the solar charger is able to operate in both MPPT and constant voltage (CV) charging mode, hence providing high performance at a low cost. Using a lab prototype and a solar simulator, the operation of the charger system is demonstrated and its performance under varying irradiance is validated.

본 논문에서는 플라이백 마이크로 인버터를 통해 전류센서 없이 최대전력 추종(Maximum Power Point)방법을 제안한다. 이 인버터는 태양광 전력을 역률1인 정현파, 낮은 왜곡율(THDs)로 계통연계 할 수 있는 태양광 인버터 이다. MPPT방식은 전류 센서리스로서 PV모듈의 전압과 MPPT제어 출력 값을 곱하여 PV전력의 정보를 비례적인 값으로 간접적으로 얻는 방식으로 태양광 최대 전력점을 찾을 수 있다. 또한, 계통의 전압으로 위상정보를 얻어 이를 정류시켜 MPPT제어와 곱하여 PWM파형을 발생한다. 제안한 태양광 인버터 전력단 회로는 플라이백으로 불연속 모드(DCM)로 동작하였으며, MPPT제어는 디지털(DSP)로 구현하였다. 100W급 하드웨어로 설계하여 실험을 진행 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 직렬운전 소형풍력발전시스템의 해석 방법과 최대 파워를 추종하는 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking)기법을 제안한다. 소형풍력 발전시스템은 개별 발전기에서 생성되는 역기전력이 낮아 배터리 충전과 같은 독립적인 부하에 전원을 공급하는 용도로 쓰이나 발전기를 N개 직렬연결하면 계통연계가 가능하다. 일반적인 풍력발전 시스템에서의 블레이드 출력은 출력 계수($C_p$) 곡선의 형태에 의해서 결정되고, 출력계수 곡선은 주속비(${\lambda}$)의 함수로 표현된다. N개의 발전기를 직렬연결 하는 경우 각기 다른 풍속에 대하여 출력파워 해석이 곤란하므로, 직렬 운전 시 발전기토크를 기준으로 한 해석과 이에 적합한 MPPT 방법을 제안한다.
