Maximum power point tracking algorithm is widely implemented in photovoltaic system to maximize the PV array output power. In general, Perturb and Observe (P&O) is simple thus being selected to continuously track the array maximum power point (MPP). Under uniform solar irradiance, PV array characteristic is non-linear and consisting only one MPP along the functional operating voltage. However, ...

Currently, the grid-connected large PV farms are extensively installed in power systems. Nevertheless, in addition to the load change, the intermittent power output of PV farms may lead to the serious problem of the system frequency fluctuation. To handle this problem, this paper proposes a new design of Sugeno fuzzy logic controller based on particle swarm optimization (PSO-SFLC) of intelligen...

This paper proposes an input-series-output-parallel connected ZVS full bridge converter with interleaved control for photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PV PCS). The input-series connection enables a fully modular power-system architecture, where low voltage and standard power modules can be connected in any combination at the input and/or at the output, to realize any given specifications...

The output power of photovoltaic (PV) module varies with module temperature, solar isolation and 1oad changes etc. In order to control the output power of single-phase gridconnected PV system according to the output power PV arrays, this paper presents a single-phase photovoltaic system that provides grid voltage support and Compensation of harmonic distortion at the point of common coupling (P...

The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are facing serious problems due to unavoidable losses in their system, leads to more devation of output power from the input power level. This effect is known as a mismatch effect and is available in PV systems. Many losses are encountered in PV system and it is difficult to minimize such losses. In this paper, the influence of thermal effect on the solar PV ...

Climate change awareness, the drive to sustainability and the push for energy independence have resulted in the wider utilization of renewable energy sources. Photovoltaic (PV) power is a renewable solar energy source that is increasing in use as its costs decrease. We have developed an assessment and planning tool to quantify the longer-term variable effects of large-scale PV energy production...

This paper presents a wide range maximum power point tracker (MPPT) using fuzzy logic controller for PV sizing and efficiency improvement. The MPPT consists of a buck boost converter, controlled by a fuzzy logic. The fuzzy has two inputs and single output. Inputs are voltage and current of the PV, while the output is duty cycle for the buck boost. The MPPT effectively tracks at average 97.3% of...
