Maximum Power Point Tracking Using Sliding Mode Control for Photovoltaic Array

In this paper, a robust Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for PV array has been proposed using sliding mode control by defining a new formulation for sliding surface which is based on increment conductance (INC) method. The stability and robustness of the proposed controller are investigated to load variations and environment changes. Three different types of DC-DC converter are used in Maxim...

Fuzzy Logic Based Maximum Power Point Tracking Using Boost Converter for Solar Photovoltaic System in Kuwait

Currently, the production of the rapid increasing electrical energy in Kuwait depends mainly on oil and its derivatives, which result in environmental pollution. Moreover, the export of oil production represents a key income for Kuwait and any saving in its consumption represents an essential concern to land’s economy. Therefore, the power utility and economy of Kuwait will benefit from substit...

Sliding Mode Control of a Bidirectional Buck/Boost DC-DC Converter with Constant Switching Frequency

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...
