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.

As the maximum power operating point(MPOP) of photovoltaic(PV) power generation systems changes with changing atmospheric conditions such as solar radiation and temperature, an important consideration in the design of efficient PV system is to track the MPOP correctly. Many maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques have been considered in the past, however, techniques using microprocessors with appropriate MPPT algorithms are favored because of their flexibility and compatibility with different PV arrays. Although the efficiency of these MPPT algorithms is usually high, it drops noticeably in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. This paper proposed a new MPPT algorithm based on perturb & observe(P&O) algorithm with experiment. The results shows that the new P&O algorithm has successfully tracked the MPOP, even in case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions, and has higher efficiency than ordinary algorithms.

As the maximum power operating point(MPOP) of photovoltaic(PV) power systems alters with changing atmospheric conditions, the efficiency of maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is important in PV power systems. Moreover, grid-connected PV system occurs some problems such as voltage inequality and harmonics. Therefore, this paper presents the results of a grid-connected PV system modeling by PSIM simulator and investigates the influence on the grid-connected PV system from aspect of power quality, i.e. voltage drop. This paper includes four MPPT algorithms; Perturbation & Observation(P&O), Improved P&O, Increment Conductance(Incond), Hysterisis simulated with irradiation changing.

Concentrators with concentration ratios between 1.2X-2.0X do not require sun-tracking or seasonal adjustments. Therefor, well designed such a system is more economical as well as abtainable much higher temperature (100-35$0^{\circ}C$) than a flat plate can achieve. In the present study, a 2X tubular concentrator is constructed and tested. The design was based on a new theory. The results of this preliminary study show that its efficiency is 60-70% at the operating temperature range of 80-10$0^{\circ}C$, and the U-value of -3.0 W/$m^2$$^{\circ}C$.

태양전지는 일사량에 따라 그 출력특성이 변화하기 때문에 태양전지로 부터 최대출력을 얻기 위해서는 컨버터에 의한 최대 전력점 추종제어가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 태양광 발전시스템의 최대전력추종을 위해 퍼지 이론을 도입한 퍼지제어기를 설계하였다. 그리고 퍼지제어기의 디지털 설계를 위해 태양광 발전시스템의 각 부분을 구성하고, 마이크로프로세서와 FPGA의 두가지 방식으로 제어기를 구현하였다. 또한 구현된 두 가지 방식의 퍼지제어기에 대해 실험을 통하여 비교분석 하였다.

A dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method for photovoltaic power systems using II-SEPIC (Isolated Inverse-SEPIC; Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) is presented and a current-mode dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT method is devised to apply for the PV power converter system. A control strategy for the current-mode dP/dV feedback control system is developed in this paper and the proposed MPPT shows relatively satisfactory dynamics against rapidly changing insolation conditions. In order to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations and experiments of the PV power system using II-SEPlC converter are performed. These simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method enables the PV power system to extract maximum power from the photovoltaic module against the solar insolation variation.

We already fabricated a proto-type HTS charging system with photovoltaic (PV) system and obtained design parameters for DC converter and HTS charging system. In order to develop the real scale charging system efficiently, we suggested a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller using a perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm for PV system. In this paper, we designed and simulated the MPPT controller for the real scale HTS charging system. As well as, the PV module has been analyzed by solving solar cell equivalent equations. The simulated and theoretical results presented here are being considered the next study which addresses the design and fabrication parameters.
