This paper proposes a series-connected power conversion system that integrates a photovoltaic power conditioner and a charge-balancing circuit. In conventional methods, a photovoltaic power conditioner and a cell-balancing circuit are needed for photovoltaic systems with energy storage devices, which results in a complex configuration and high cost. To overcome these problems, a series-connected DC-DC power conditioning system that integrates a photovoltaic power conditioner with a charge-balancing circuit is proposed. During the generation, the system operates as power conditioner only, whereas it operates as a cell balancing circuit during the rest time. For the analysis, the operating principle of the circuit and the controller design are done by PSIM simulation. For verification, a hardware prototype with 48-W photovoltaic modules has been implemented. Results verified that the modularized photovoltaic power conversion system with a series-connected storage successfully works with the proposed method.

This study proposes a control method to mitigate the influence of input capacitors in photovoltaic power curtailment. The influence is analyzed by the power flow in the photovoltaic system. In conventional power curtailment, the power injected to the grid may be increased momentarily because the influence of the input capacitor on the power injected to the grid is not considered. The proposed method limits the change rate of photovoltaic array voltage to prevent a momentary increase in the power injected to the grid. The effectiveness of proposed method, which reduces power overshoot, is verified by experimental tests. The proposed method enables the power grid to operate stably in photovoltaic power curtailment.

In this study, constant power generation (CPG) algorithms are introduced for whole range power point tracking in photovoltaic systems. Currently, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is widely used for high-power photovoltaic systems. However, MPPT algorithm cannot flexibly control such systems according to changing grid conditions. Maintaining grid stability has become important as the capacity of grid-connected photovoltaic systems is increased. CPG algorithms are required to generate the desired power depending on grid conditions. A grid-connected photovoltaic system is configured, and CPG algorithms are implemented. The performances of the implemented algorithms are compared and analyzed by experimental results.

This study examines the power generation characteristics of a vehicle rooftop photovoltaic module with urban driving conditions. Actual test data with an illuminometer and a thermometer were used to analyze the power generation characteristics of the vehicle rooftop photovoltaic module. In addition, the power generation characteristics were analyzed in terms of urban driving conditions, irradiance, ambient temperature, and photovoltaic module temperature. This study also analyzes the power generation characteristics of the vehicle rooftop photovoltaic module with urban driving conditions through a wavelet transform filtering method. The power generation characteristics of the vehicle rooftop photovoltaic module with urban driving conditions depend on the change in irradiance rather than that in photovoltaic module temperature.

This paper presents a maximum power point tracking without a current sensor for a small scale photovoltaic power system. The small scale photovoltaic power systems are used in parallel, and so the cost and the reliability are strongly demanded. In the proposed inverter, the current is controlled with open loop, and then the power of photovoltaic array is calculated by the equation using the voltage of the photovoltaic array. Therefore, the system can obtain the power by detecting only the voltage of the photovoltaic array. As a result, we may obtain the performance of the MPPT with a current sensor as well as with a current sensor.

According to government supporting a renewable generation, a number of industrial MW photovoltaic systems have already been installed and rapidly increased. Even though the supporting is increased, analysis on power valuation and roll of a photovoltaic system are insufficient. In this paper, comparative analysis on characteristic of photovoltaic power system are illustrated as basic of power valuation by collecting power and irradiation data from MW photovoltaic system on wide area.

In this paper, a hybrid maximum power tracker for a photovoltaic/wind hybrid power system is proposed. In the hybrid system, a direct interfacing the wind power system to the photovoltaic system gives the problems of voltage fluctuations, poor maximum power tracking, and harmonics generation associated with the random wind speed, the random solar irradiation and the pulsating torque came from the wind turbine synchronous generator and photovoltaic. To overcome these problems, a wind side DC/DC converter are proposed employing a star/delta transformer interconnected between the wind turbine side and the photovoltaic side. The control objective for each dc/dc converter is to extract maximum power from each different photovoltaic system and wind system, and transfer two different powers to the inverter and load.
