Solar Array는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 얻을 수 있는 최대전력이 변화한다. 또한 Solar Array의 전압에 따라 출력 전력이 변화한다. 따라서 태양전지의 동작점을 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대 전력점을 추적(MPPT:Maximum Power Point Tracking)하는 제어 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 Solar Array의 전압과 전력의 상관관계를 이용하여 최대 전력점을 추종하는 제어 시스템을 제안한다. 이 방식은 빠르게 최대 동작점을 찾을 수 있고 높은 전력 변환 효율을 가지며 다른 방식에 비해 구성이 간단하다. 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 MPPT시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

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 generating 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 photo voltaic system without chopper.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems bosed on solar energy offer an environmentally friendly source of electricity. A key feature of such PV sysem is the efficiency of conversion at which the power converter stage can extract the energy from the PV arrays and deliver to the load. The Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV output for all sunshine conditions allows reduction of the cost installation and maximizes the power output from the PV panel. The proposed algorithm is to control the width of the pulse for battery charging based on the open voltage of the PV panel. As a lab results, the proposed system was implemented functions to adapt to the changes of the PV open voltage, and improved the charging efficiency.

태양전지는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 출력 특성이 변화하여 최대전력을 얻을 수 있는 위치도 변화한다. 따라서 태양전지의 동작점을 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대전력점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking) 이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 P&O 방식처럼 자려진동을 하지 않고 최대 동작점에서 머물면서 동작하는 NOC(Non-Oscillation Control) 방법을 제안한다. 이 방식은 빠르게 최대 동작점을 찾을 수 있고 특히 급격한 일사량 변동에 대해 유리한 장점을 갖는다. 최종적으로 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 3KW급으로 수행된 MPPT 모의 실험을 제시한다.

The SAR(Solar Array Regulator) of KOMPSAT(Korea Multi Purpose SATellite)-1, 2 regulates a photovoltaic power according to the duty ratio commands of the ECU. But the ECU has so many other jobs that it can not calculate the solar array condition immediately. It means the SAR cannot always generate the maximum power of a photovoltaic. Nowadays, the commercial photovoltaic systems are using a controller operated by digital processing. But the usage for satellite is not adaptable. It is not easy to find the processor of the space grade and the price is expensive. So in this paper, the simple analog MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the small satellite in LEO. This algorithm does not need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current md 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 and experimental.

Two-level inverter has some disadvantages like high harmonics contained in the output current, efficiency limit and stress to switching device as IGBT and FET. Many researches have reported multi-level inverter to complement two-level inverter of problems. In this paper, we suggest MPPT algorithm of multi-string three-level solar inverter that considered nowadays. We added midpoint controller in order to implement the MPPT algorithm because the three-level inverter has to need midpoint controller and procured the stability of direct current link. We verify the superiority of multi-string T-Type inverter and the algorithm we suggested with solar irradiance variation experiment and MPPT efficiency measurement. The MPPT efficiency was confirmed with a high efficiency more than 99.97%.

This paper presents a grid connected photo-voltaic system using a quasi-Z-source inverter (QZSI) for power stage reduction. The power stage can be reduced because of an additional shoot-through stage which is a characteristic of QZSI. Therefore, by utilizing a QZSI the system's efficiency can be increased. In this paper, for applying a QZSI to a PV system, control methods such as maximum power point tracking (MPPT), point of common coupling (PCC) current control and PWM are studied and verified through simulation and experiment. In order to explain the above controllers, the characteristics of a QZSI are first analyzed. Then the MPPT control technique with a modified P&O method, the PCC current control for the regulation of the dc-link capacitor voltage and the PWM methods for the proposed system are explained. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and experiment with a 3kW system.

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.
