일사량과 온도에 의해 태양광 어레이의 최대전력동작점(MPOP)이 결정되며 태양광발전시스템에서 중요하게 고려해야 할 사항 중 하나는 최대전력동작점을 정확하게 추종하도록 하는 것이다. 과거부터 여러 최대전력추종제어기법(MPPT)들이 사용되어 왔지만, 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 최대전력추종제어기법은 다른 태양광 어레이와의 호환성, 적응성 측면에서 유리하다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 P&O, IncCond 알고리즘에 대한 분석과 새로운 히스테리시스밴드 변동 기법을 제안한다. 새로 제안된 제어기법의 우수성을 나타내주기 위하여 저자는 3가지의 기준을 만들어서 각 기법을 비교 및 분석하였다. 첫째로, 정상상태에서의 각 기법의 파형을 살펴보았고, 다음으로 일사량을 급변하였을 경우의 파형을 나타내었고, 마지막으로 일사량에 따른 MPPT 추종효율을 보였다. MPPT 시뮬레이션과 실험은 부스트 컨버터에서 수행하였다.

The characteristics of I-V and P-V of solar cell nonlinearly changes according to irradiation, temperature and load. Therefore, to use efficiently PV system, operating point must be always operating at maximum power point. Also, PV system is semiconductor, so it generates loss by temperature. But because of conventional MPPT methods are not considering temperature, it has problem which decrease efficiency. This paper proposes temperature measurement based optimal voltage(TMOV) MPPT algorithm using temperature measurement based optimal voltage. It analyzes characteristics of solar cell according to irradiation and temperature and conventional MPPT methods. The TMOV control algorithm proposed in this paper is compared and analyzed conventional MPPT methods. The validity of this paper proves using this result.

Photovoltaic systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest possible power to the load when variations in the insolation and temperature occur. A simple method of tracking the maximum power points (MPPs) and forcing the boost converter system to operate close to these points is presented through deriving small-signal model and transfer function of boost converter. This paper aims at modeling boost converter including equivalent series resistance of input reservoir capacitor by state-space-averaging method. In the future, properly designed controller for compensation will be constructed for maximum photovoltaic power tracking control.

A novel decision reference based method for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV arrays is presented in this paper. The proposed decision reference was derived from a simplified solar cell model. This method solves the problems of conventional MPPT algorithms, such as oscillation of the operating point at the steady state and confusion under rapidly changing insolation. It is shown by simulation and experimental results that the method properly tracks a rapidly changing insolation profile. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the new decision reference is also higher than those of conventional P&O and INC methods. An updating subroutine was included in the proposed MPPT algorithm to compensate for temperature and aging effects.

As is well-known, the maximum power point(MPP) of PV power generation system depends on array temperature and solar insolation, it is necessary to track MPP of solar array all the time. Among various MPP control algorithms, the constant voltage control method, the perturbation and observation(P&O) method and the incremental conductance method(IncCond) have drawn many attractions due to the usefulness of each system. In this paper, the effectiveness of above mentioned three different control algorithms are thoroughly investigated via simulations and proposed efficiency evaluation method on experiment. Both the steady-state and transient characteristics of each control algorithms along with measured efficiency are analyzed, respectively. Finally, a novel MPPT control algorithm combining the constant voltage control and IncCond method for low insolation condition is proposed to improve efficiency of the 3KW PV power generation system.

The results of an adaptive control of NN compared with the results of converter-chopping ratio which are calculated mathematical modeling and evaluate the proposed algorithm. The experimental data show that an adequacy of the algorithm was established through the compared data.

This paper proposes adaptive incremental conductance(A-IC) algorithm for maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of photovoltaic. Conventional Perturbation & Observation(PO) and IC MPPT control algorithm generally uses fixed step size. A small fixed step size will cause the tracking speed to decrease and tracking accuracy of the MPP will decrease due to large fixed step size. Therefore, this paper proposes N-IC MPPT algorithm that adjust automatically step size according to operating conditions. To improve tracking speed and accuracy, when operating point is far from maximum power point(MPP), step size uses maximum value and when operating point is near from MPP, step size uses variable step size that adjust according to slope of P-V curve. The validity of MPPT algorithm proposed in this paper prove through compare with conventional IC MPPT algorithm.

The power-voltage (P-V) characteristic of a photovoltaic (PV) array is nonlinear and time varying with the change in atmospheric conditions. As a result, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique must be applied in PV systems to maximize the generated energy. The incremental conductance (INC) algorithm, one of the MPPT strategies, is widely used for its high tracking accuracy, good adaptability to rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, and easy implementation. This paper presents a modified asymmetrical variable step size INC MPPT method that is based on the asymmetrical feature of the P-V curve. Compared with conventional fixed or variable step size method, the proposed method can effectively improve tracking accuracy and speed. The theoretical foundation and design principle of the proposed approach are validated by the simulation and experimental results.

PV(Photovoltaic)는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 얻을 수 있는 최대 전력이 변화하고, PV의 전압에 따라 출력 전력이 변화한다. 따라서 PV를 이용한 인버터는 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대 전력점 추정(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 인버터 제어에 필요한 여러가지 MPPT 기능 실험이 가능하게 하는 저가형 태양전지 시뮬레이터 시스템의 제어알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 PV의 출력특성에 따른 출력값을 설정하고, 다양한 출력특성 변화의 실시간 변화가 가능하게 하는 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 PV가 설치되지 않은 곳에서 인버터의 MPPT 성능 시험이 가능하며, 실제 인버터에 구현된 P&O-MPPT와 연동하여 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.
