Parasitic Effects on the Performance of DC-DC SEPIC in Photovoltaic Maximum Power Point Tracking Applications

This paper presents an analysis of the effect of parasitic resistances on the performance of DC-DC Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) in photovoltaic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) applications. The energy storage elements incorporated in the SEPIC converter possess parasitic resistances. Although ideal components significantly simplifies model development, but neglecting the ...

Maximum Power Tracking for Photovoltaic Power Systems

The electric power supplied by a photovoltaic power generation system depends on the solar radiation and temperature. Designing efficient PV systems heavily emphasizes to track the maximum power operating point. This work develops a novel three-point weight comparison method that avoids the oscillation problem of the perturbation and observation algorithm which is often employed to track the ma...

Optimal control of a multilevel DC-link converter photovoltaic system for maximum power generation

This paper describes a new algorithm for optimal control of a PV system under partial shading. A multilevel DC-link is the essential part of the proposed system and its control engages a voltage-hold perturbation and observation (VHeP&O) method combined with a PWM algorithm with permutation of PV sources. The algorithm enables achieving the maximum power generation for any number of PV and conv...
