태양광(PV, Photovoltaic) 시스템의 발전량은 일사량 및 기온 등 날씨 변수에 따라 변동한다. 특히 일사량 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 PV 시스템의 출력 특성은 최대 전력 점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어를 통해 변화하는 기상 환경에서도 효율적이며 안정적으로 최대 전력을 생산할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 PV 시스템의 전력생산 효율 개선과 안정성을 높이기 위해 퍼지 로직 기반의 MPPT 제어 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법의 성능 검증을 위해, 동일 기상 조건하에서 기존의 대표적인 MPPT 제어방식인 P&O(Perturb and Observe)와 새로 제안한 퍼지 로직의 효율과 안정성을 실증적으로 비교 및 평가한다. 더욱이 하드웨어의 안정도 및 신뢰도 향상을 위해 설계한 회로를 인쇄 회로 기판(PCB, Printed Circuit Board)으로 제작하여 실험을 진행했다. 특정 기간동안 prototype으로 진행한 실험 결과를 통해, 본 논문에서 제안한 퍼지 로직 기반의 MPPT가 기존의 P&O MPPT 대비 4.4% 이상의 효율 개선과, 최대 전력 점에서 변동 폭의 39.7% 이상 감소가 확인된다.

In this paper, the Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) control of the small scale wind power generation system with a three-phase diode rectifier and the grid-connected inverter is studied. Without the need for the converter circuits to control speed of the generator, it is economical and the structure is simple. Compared with existing systems, it can be to reduce the power semiconductor switches and passive elements, and to implement the MPPT control with only DC-Link voltage control of the grid-connected inverter. In order to allow MPPT control without the characteristic information of the wind turbine, the P&O algorithm is applied, and these are verified by the simulation and experiment.

Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is the big issue in generating power based on Wind Energy Conversion System. In case of unknown turbine characteristic, it is useful to implement MPPT based on fuzzy logic control. This kind of control is able to find the value of duty cycle to meet maximum power point at particular wind speed. There are many methods to develop MPPT based fuzzy logic controls. In this paper, two of the methods are compared both at low and high fluctuating wind speed.

This paper proposes a novel maximum power point tracking(MPPT) using a new fuzzy control(NFC) algorithm for robust in insolation variation. Maximum power point(MPP) of solar cell has to achieve for improving output efficiency because it is changed with insolation and temperature. Conventional MPPT controller such as constant voltage(CV), perturbation and observation(PO) and incremental conductance(IC) are researched. But these controller have the problem that is failure to MPP with environment changing. The proposed NFC controller is based the fuzzy control algorithm and able to robust control with environment changing. Also the proposed controller of PV system is modeled by PSIM and the response characteristics according to the parameter variation is compared and analyzed. The validity of this controller is proved through response results.

This paper proposes the control method of MPPT(maximum power point tracking) for the wind energy generation system using the duty ratio control of boost type DC-DC converter. For a lower cost and a higher reliability, the wind and the generator velocity sensors are removed. MPPT control is implemented by changing the duty ratio of the boost converter. Chain rule is applied by using each function. The grid side inverter is controlled to regulate unity power factor. The proposed control method was analyzed mathematically and verified by the computer simulation using PSIM.

본 논문은 그림자 영향을 고려한 PV(Photovoltaic) 시스템의 VPO(Variable Perturbation & Observation)MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어를 제시한다. 태양전지의 출력 특성은 비선형이고 온도, 일사량 및 그림자의 영향을 많이 받는다. MPPT 제어는 태양광발전 시스템의 출력 및 효율을 증가시키기 위한 매우 중요한 기술이다. 종래의 PO(Perturbation & Observation)와 IC(Incremental conductance) 등은 지속적인 자려진동에 의해 MPP(Maximum Power Point)를 찾는 방법으로 그림자 영향에 의해 출력이 급격하게 변할 경우 MPPT 제어를 수행하지 못한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 출력 변동에 따라 스텝 값이 변하는 새로운 제어 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시한 알고리즘은 일사량, 온도 및 그림자 영향에 대해 종래의 제어 알고리즘과 응답특성을 비교하고 이를 통해 제시한 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증한다.

본 논문에서는 압전 소자를 이용한 진동에너지 하베스팅 회로를 설계하였다. 압전소자의 전력-전압 특성을 이용해 최대 전력을 부하로 전달하기 위한 MPPT(maximum power point tracking control) 제어 기능을 추가하였다. MPPT 회로는 전파 정류회로의 개방회로 전압을 주기적으로 샘플링하여 최대 가용전력이 생성되는 지점을 추적하고 이를 부하로 전달한다. 진동에너지 하베스팅 회로는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였다. 최대 전력 효율은 91%이고, pad를 제외한 칩 면적은 $1,100{\mu}m{\times}730{\mu}m$이다.

The efficiency of the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) of inverter which is used in grid-connected photovoltaic systems is changed according to dynamic environment conditions. Hence, this paper evaluates the performance of the proposed method and other MPPT algorithm on the basis of European Efficiency Test(EN50530). The modeling of MPPT algorithm is made by the Matlab & Simulink. In the result of simulation, the more control period is shorter, the more MPPT efficiency is higher. Also, the Proposed MPPT algorithm has higher performance than other MPPT algorithm with no regard to control period.

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.

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.
