Abstract:

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control in the Photovoltaic system is the key control technology, however present controller has the disadvantages of long development cycle, high cost and complex verification, and there are some disadvantages carrying out totally physical simulation or totally digital simulation of different control algorithms. This paper carried out design of hardware controller by researching different kinds of MPPT algorithms together with the improved MPPT algorithm, then digital-analog hybrid real-time simulation was carried out based on the digital main circuit using RT-LAB developed by Opal-RT company, effectiveness and superiority of the improved MPPT algorithm were verified in comparison with control effects of the improved MPPT algorithm and control effects of traditional MPPT algorithms.

New Maximum Power Point Tracking Technique Based on P&O Method

In the most described maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods in the literatures, the optimal operation point of the photovoltaic (PV) systems is estimated by linear approximations. However, these approximations can lead to less optimal operating conditions and significantly reduce the performances of the PV systems. This paper proposes a new approach to determine the maximum power point (M...
