To increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic, almost photovoltaic appliances are controlled by Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT). Existing most of the PV MPPT techniques have used power which multiplies sensed output current and voltage of the solar cell. However, these algorithms are unnecessarily complicated and too expensive for small and compact system. The other hand, the proposed MPPT technique is only one sensing of the MPPT converter's output current, so there is no need to insert another sensors of battery side. Therefore, this algorithm is simpler compared to the traditional approach and is suitable for low power solar system. Further, the novel proper charge/discharge algorithm for the battery with PV MPPT is developed. In this algorithm, there is CC battery charge mode and load discharge mode of the PV cell & battery dual. Also we design current control to regulate allowable current during the battery charging. The proposed algorithm will be applicable to battery included solar cell applications like solar lantern and solar remote control car. Finally, the proposed method has been verified with computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 독립형 하이브리드 발전을 위한 효율적안 운영방법을 제안한다. 별도의 정원이 없는 오지에서 독립적으로 동작하기 위해 태양광과 풍력 또는 소수력을 활용하여 두 가지 이상의 발전을 이용하여 발전할 수 있는 하이브리드 발전을 이용한다. 또한 발전된 전원을 야간에도 사용할 수 있도록 저장할 수 있는 배터리를 내장하여 동작할 수 있도록 한다, 배터리의 이용은 발전이 발생되는 구간과 발전이 되지 않는 구간으로 나누어 설계하였다. 발전이 이루어지는 구간은 하나의 발전과 2개의 발전으로 분리하여 하나의 발전만 이루어지는 구간은 일반적인 CC/CV(정전류/전전압) 방식을 이용하여 일반 충전을 수행하고 두 개의 발전이 동시에 이루어지는 구간은 CC(전전류) 모드를 최대한 활용하는 급속 충전을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 2개 이상의 발전을 활용하여 독립적인 기능 수행이 가능한 하이브리드 발전을 이용한 독립형 장치로서 장소와 환경의 제한이 적어 실용가능성을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose a prototype platform combined with the power management system using, as an auxiliary power storage device, a supercapacitor that can be fast charged and discharged with high power efficiency as well as semi-permanent charge and discharge cycle life. For the proposed platform, we designed a technique which is capable of detecting the state of power cutoff or resumption of power supplied from the solar panel in accordance with physical environment changes through an interrupt attached to the micro-controller was developed. To prevent data loss in a computing environment in which continuous power supply is not guaranteed, we implemented a low-level system software in the micro-controller to transfer program context and data in volatile memory to nonvolatile memory when power supply is cut off. Experimental results shows that supercapacitors effectively supply temporary power as auxiliary power storage devices. Various benchmarks also confirm that power state detection and transfer of program context and data from volatile memory to nonvolatile memory have low overhead.
