This paper proposes the fuzzy logic based variable step-size MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method for the stability at the steady state and the improvement of the transient response in the wind power system. If the change value of duty ratio is set on stability of the steady state, MPPT control traces to maximum power point slowly. And if the change value is set on improvement of the transient response, the system output oscillates at the maximum power point. By adjusting the step size with fuzzy logic, it can be improved the MPPT response speed and stability at steady state when MPPT control is performed to track the maximum power point. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified by simulations and experimental results.

Variable step size maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) are widely used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to extract the peak array power which depends on solar irradiation and array temperature. One essential factor which judges system dynamics and steady state performances is the scaling factor (N), which is used to update the controlling equation in the tracking algorithm to determine a new duty cycle. This paper proposes a novel stability study of variable step size incremental resistance maximum power point tracking (INR MPPT). The main contribution of this analysis appears when developing the overall small signal model of the PV system. Therefore, by using linear control theory, the boundary value of the scaling factor can be determined. The theoretical analysis and the design principle of the proposed stability analysis have been validated using MATLAB simulations, and experimentally using a fixed point digital signal processor (TMS320F2808).

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.

In order to ensure that photovoltaic (PV) systems work at the maximum power point (MPP) and maximize the economic benefits, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are normally applied to these systems. One of the most widely applied MPPT methods is the incremental conductance (INC) method. However, the choice of the step size still remains controversial. This paper presents an improved variable step size INC MPPT algorithm that uses four different step sizes. This method has the advantages of INC but with the ability to validly adjust the step size to adapt to changes of the PV's power curve. The presented algorithm also simultaneously achieves increased rapidity and accuracy when compared with the conventional fixed step size INC MPPT algorithm. In addition, the theoretical derivation and specific applications of the proposed algorithm are presented here. This method is validated by simulation and experimental results.

본 논문은 능동 소음 제어 시스템에 적합한 새로운 가변 수렴 상수 filtered-x gradient adaptive lattice(NVSS-FxGAL) 알고리즘을 제안한다. Gradient adaptive lattice(GAL) 알고리즘은 협대역 특성을 가지는 소음을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있다. GAL 알고리즘의 수렴 성능을 개선하기 위한 가변 격자 필터의 각 단계에 동일하게 적용하면 입력 신호의 특성 변화에 강인하게 대처하지 못한다. 제안 알고리즘은 격자 필터의 각 단계에 적합한 로컬 가변 수렴상수를 이용하여 안정적이고 일관성 있는 수렴 성능을 보장한다. 실험을 통해 제안 알고리즘은 빠른 수렴 속도와 낮은 정상 상태를 보임을 확인하였다.

In this study, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on the perturb and observe (P&O) method with variable step size is proposed to improve the dynamic response characteristic of MPPT, using the existing P&O method. The proposed algorithm, which we verified by simulation and experiment, can track the maximum power point (MPP) through duty control and consisted of three operation modes, namely, constant voltage mode, fast mode, and variable step mode. When the insolation is constant, the voltage variation of the operating point at the MPP is reduced through the step size reduction of the duty in the variable step mode. Consequently, the vibration of the operating point is reduced, and the power generation efficiency is increased. When the insolation changes, the duty and the photovoltaic (PV) voltage are kept constant through the constant voltage mode. The operating point then rapidly tracks the new MPP through the fast-mode operation at the end of the insolation change. When the MPP is reached, the operation is changed to the variable step mode to reduce the duty step size and track the MPP. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment of a PV system composed of a PV panel and a boost converter.

변형된 CMA는 CMA에 비해 고차 신호점을 등화 시 보다 적은 수의, 균등한 간격을 갖는 모듈러스를 이용함으로써 정상상태 성능 개선과 고차 신호점으로의 확장이 용이하다. 본 논문에서는 변형된 CMA에 가변 수렴상수를 적용하여 정상상태 성능을 더욱 개선하여 다른 경판정 알고리즘으로의 전환 없이도 충분히 만족스러운 성능을 달성할 수 있음을 보인다. 새로운 두 가지 수렴상수 가변 방법을 제안하고, 이를 적용한 변형된 CMA의 성능 개선을 모의실험을 통해 CMA와 고정 수렴상수의 변형된 CMA에 대해 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 전밴드(full-band) 적응 필터의 수렴 특성을 개선하기 위해 제안된 정규 부밴드 적응 필터(NSAF)의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 가변 스텝 사이즈 기반의 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 널리 알려진 Kwong의 가변 스텝 사이즈 적응 필터는 간단한 하면서도, 고정된 스텝 사이즈의 적응 필터에 비하여 우수한 성능을 보인다. 그러나 가산잡음이 클 경우, 잡음의 크기에 비례하여 성능이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 적응 오차에서 추정된 가산 잡음을 차감한 정규 오차를 이용함으로써 가산 잡음에 의존하지 않는 가변 스텝 사이즈 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시스템 확인 모델 하에서 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘들에 비하여 정상 및 비정상 환경에서 수렴 특성이 우수함을 보였다.

Recently a constant-norm constraint equation-error method was proposed to solve the bias problem in adaptive IIR filtering. However, the method adopts a fixed step-size and thus results in slow convergence for a small step-size and significant misadjustment error for a largestep-size. In this paper, we propose a variable step-size (VSS) algorithm that greatly improves convergence properties of the constant-norm constraint equation-error method. The analysis and the simulation results show that the proposed method indeed achieves both fast convergence and small misadjustment error.

This paper presents a new Kurtosis driven Variable Step-Size Normalized Least Mean Square (KVSSN-LMS) algorithm to prevent repeater from oscillation due to feedback signal of radio frequency (RF) repeater. To get better Mean Square Error (MSE) performance, step-size is adjusted using the kurtosis. The proposed algorithm shows the better performance of steady state MSE. The proposed algorithm shows a better ERLE performance than that of KVSS-LMS, VSS-NLMS, NLMS algorithms.
