The power loss due to PV module mismatch in PV array system is analyzed and a mismatch compensation method is proposed. A dc-dc converter is used to compensate for series mismatch caused by a low current module in a string. The converter is controlled to maximize the array power output. The proposed compensation method was verified by PSpice simulation.

In this paper, the power loss due to PV module mismatch in PV string is analyzed and a mismatch compensation method is proposed to improve the efficiency of PV system. The analysis of mismatch loss using PV model simulation reveals that the mismatch module may decrease the total efficiency because the MPPT function of power conditioner make the PV system operate at the local maximum point. The mismatch loss can be severe if the maximum power point current of mismatch module is less than that of string. The proposed compensation method which is simply implemented with a buck type converter shows the possibility to remove the mismatch loss. The effectiveness of the analysis and compensation method is verified by a prototype experiment.

A current compensation method to reduce the mismatch loss in PV systems is proposed as a way to increase the power generation efficiency. A dc-dc converter is used to supply currents to irregular modules in a PV string and is powered from the string output. The converter's voltage conversion ratio is adjusted so that all the modules in the string are operated at the maximum power point. The power rating and size of the converter can be reduced since only the current difference between the regular and irregular module may be supplied. The compensated string shows very little voltage mismatch compared to other regular strings. The validity of the proposed method is verified through a simulation and experiments in a prototype PV system.

Mismatch of electrical characteristics of modules in PV string invokes mismatch power loss. The mismatch occurs due to various causes such as shadow, aging, contamination, and module exchange. The concept of mismatch compensation converter(MCC) is presented in this paper to remedy the mismatch loss problem. MCC is connected to irregular modules only. MCC is composed of dc-dc converter and MPPT controller. It is noted that MPPT algorithm is employed to control MCC and is effective for maximum power available from irregular modules. The selection guide of MPPT control period is given based on the period of MPPT in PCU. The effectiveness of the MCC is verified by a prototype experiment.

To realize high accuracy and high speed we developed a new self compensation scheme and applied it to a 10-bit D/A converter. This circuit can compensate the device mismatch without interrupting the D/A converter operation. With the compensation circuit,INA decreased down to 0.22LSB from 0.47LSB. The device was fabricated using a 0.8$\mu$m CMOS process. The area of the D/A converter core is 3.2mm$^{2}$ and the area of the compensation part is 0.64mm$^{2}$.

System-on-glass를 위해 poly-Si TFT로 면적이 작으면서도 리플전압을 최소화한 DC-DC 전압 변환회로를 개발하였다. 전압 변환회로는 전하 펌핑 회로, 문턱전압 변화를 보상한 비교기, 오실레이터, 버퍼, 다중 위상 클럭을 만들기 위한 지연 회로로 구성된다. 제안한 다중 위상 클럭킹을 적용함으로써 클럭 주파수 또는 필터링 캐패시터의 증가 없이도 낮은 출력 리플전압을 얻음으로써 DC-DC 변환기의 면적을 최소화 하였다. 제안한 DC-DC 변환회로를 제작하여 측정한 결과 $R_{out}=100k\Omega,\;C_{out}=100pF$, 그리고 $f_{clk}=1MHz$에서 Dickson 구조와 기존의 cross-coupled 구조에서의 리플전압은 각각 590mv와 215mv인 반면 4-위상 클럭킹을 적용한 구조에서는 123mV이다. 그리고 50mV의 리플전압을 가지기 위해 필요한 필터링 캐패시터의 크기는 $I_{out}=100uA$와 $f_{clk}=1MHz$에서 Dickson 구조와 기존의 cross-coupled 구조에서는 각각 1029pF와 575pF인 반면 4-위상과 6-위상 클럭킹을 적용한 구조에서는 단지 290pF와 157pF만이 각각 요구된다. 구조별 효율로는 Dickson 구조의 전하 펌프에서는 $59\%$, 기존의 cross-coupled 구조와 본 논문에서 제안한 4-위상을 적용한 cross-coupled 구조의 전하 펌프에서는 $65.7\%$와 $65.3\%$의 효율을 각각 가진다.
