This paper proposes the method which is improved a performance of PO MPPT control in PV system. The PO method is continually changed voltage toward direction that increases power, and if output power is decreased by changing voltage, a power of the conventional PO method is changed to a power before one step. These operations causes reduce of MPPT performance. Therefore, this paper proposes the MPPT method that can be improved the performance of the conventional PO method. When voltage is changed to direction of reducing power, the method proposed in this paper is changed to the voltage the opposite direction of twice step size. The MPPT performance of proposed method in this paper is compared with conventional PO method and proved the validity of this paper using these results.

An improved MPPT converter with current compensation method for small-scaled PV-applications is presented in this paper. The proposed method implements maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by variable reference current which is continuously changed during one sampling period. Therefore, the power transferred to the load is increased above $9\%$ by the proposed MPPT converter with current compensation method. As a result, the utilization efficiency of Photovoltaic (PV)-panel can be increased. In addition, as it doesn't use digital signal processor (DSP), this MPPT method has the merits of both a cost efficiency and a simple control circuit design. Therefore, it is considered that the proposed MPPT method is proper to low power, low cost PV-applications. The concept and control principles of the proposed MPPT method are explained in detail and its validity of the proposed method is verified through several simulated results.

As the maximum power operating point (MPOP) of photovoltaic (PV) power systems changes with changing atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is important in PV power systems. Many MPPT techniques have been considered in the past, but techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. Although the efficiency of these MPPT algorithms is usually high, it drops noticeably in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. In this paper, we proposed a new MPPT control method called improved perturb and observe method (ImP&O), anda simple voltage and current characteristic equation of a PV array for PV array simulator. Experimental results verify the accuracy and excellent performance of the proposed MPPT method. ImP&O algorithm is very simple, and has successful tracked the MPOP, even in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions.

Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is used in photovoltaic(PV) systems to maximize the photovoltaic array output power, irrespective of the temperature and irradiation conditions. The object of this paper is to compare and analyze MPPT efficiency for different MPPT techniques by changing irradiance. Also, this paper introduces transformerless grid-connected inverter. Simple flow charts and characteristics of each MPPT algorithm are shown. The implementation of transformerless grid-connected inveter system was based on a digital signal processor(DSP). Simulation was carried out for each MPPT method.

본 논문은 가변 조정계수를 이용한 적응형 MPPT 제어 기법을 제안한다. MPPT 제어 루프가 소신호 모델링을 통해 구성되며, PV array 의 동작점에 상관없이 MPPT 제어의 성능을 일정하게 유지하기 위한 가변 조정계수가 결정된다. 가변 조정계수는 오차에 대한 근사화된 곡선맞춤 다항식을 통해 결정되며, 이를 통해 사용자가 원하는 MPPT 의 동특성과 안정성을 전 MPPT 영역에 걸쳐 확보할 수 있다. 제안된 MPPT 기법의 타당성은 3KW 급 시스템에 대한 실험을 통해 검증한다.

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. This paper proposes a variable step size MPPT algorithm which can improve the MPPT speed and accuracy. Depending on insolation and temperature, the MPPT controller gives optimized step size. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified thorough PSIM simulation and experiments on a 50[W] prototype. The experimental results confirm that the PV power of the improved P&O method is higher than that of the traditional P&O method.

In this paper, we compared power generation characteristics of two MPPT algorithms, P & O and InC, applied to grid-connected solar inverters. The MPPT detects the voltage and current of the solar module string and transfers the power to the DC link. Since the grid is connected by the power conversion circuit, the grid connection control and the MPPT control influence each other. The power generation characteristics were analyzed by Psim simulation according to the MPPT cycle in the weak grid conditions.

단방향 DC-DC컨버터는 불연속 전도모드(Discontinuous Conduction Mode:DCM)구간에서 전류기준치와 실제 흐르는 평균전류와의 오차가 존재하여 MPPT추종이 어렵거나 불가하다. 따라서 본 논문은 전류제어를 하는데 전류오차율을 2%까지 최소화할 수 있는 전류게인 전향보상기법을 이용하여 DCM 구간에서도 98%이상의 MPPT효율로 MPPT수행이 가능함을 실험으로 증명하였다.

This paper proposed a MPPT ( Maximum Power Point Tracking) control algorithm for PV(Photovoltaic) array based on a modified constant voltage control MPPT algorithm at low-insolation.
