MPPT techniques for PV systems

Abstract: This paper propose a detailed comparative survey of four maximum power tracking techniques: Perturb and Observe (PO P&O, InC and one sensor algorithm, is that at steady state the operating point oscillate around the maximum power point, giving rise to the waste of the output panel's available energy. Simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy logic controller (FLC) can provides faster and stable tracking maximum power as compared to the other studied methods.

Modeling and control of a gird connected PV generation system

Abstract: This paper presents the analysis, modelling and control model of the electric part of a grid connected photovoltaic generation system. The model contains a detailed representation of the main components of the system that are the solar array, and the grid side multilevel neutral point clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). In order to extract the maximum amount of from the photovoltaic generator, we propose an intelligent control method for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic system under variable temperature and insulation conditions. This method uses a fuzzy logic controller. As part of our work, we will focus on voltage inverter at three levels to NPC structure. The latter can increase the voltage supplied to the load (network) through their topology. Thus, they can generate more voltage sinusoidal possible and improve the total harmonic distortion through the high voltage levels provided by the structure of this new converter. The grid interface inverter transfers the energy drawn from the PV module into the grid by keeping common dc voltage constant. The PQ control approach (Direct Power Control) has been presented for the multilevel inverter. The simulation results under Matlab/Simulink show the control performance and dynamic behaviour of grid connected photovoltaic system.

Study and control of two two-level PWM rectifiers-clamping bridge-two three-level NPC VSI cascade. application to double stator induction machine

Abstract: In this paper, the authors present a study of the stability problem of the input DC voltages of the three-level neutral point clamping (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). They remind the model of the double stator induction machine (DSIM). Then, they develop a knowledge and a control models of this inverter using the connection functions of the semiconductors. After that, they propose a PWM strategy to control his converter. To analysis the instability problem of the input DC voltages of the inverter, the authors study a cascade constituted by two two-level PWM rectifiers-two three-level NPC VSI-DSIM. The results obtained show that the input DC voltages of the inverters are not stables. To remedy to this problem, the authors propose, in this paper, a solution which uses a clamping bridge. The results obtained with this solution confirm the good performances of the proposed solution.

Enslavement and control of the multi DC-bus link voltages using adaptive fuzzy

Abstract: Voltage-source multilevel inverters have become very attractive for power industries in power electronics applications during last years. The main purposes that have led to the development of the studies about multilevel inverters are the generation of output voltage signals with low harmonic distortion; the reduction of switching frequency. A serious constraint in a multilevel inverter is the capacitor voltage-balancing problem. The unbalance of different DC voltage sources of five-level neutral point clamping (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI) constitutes the major limitation for the use of this new power converter. In order to stabilize these DC voltages, we propose in this paper to study the cascade constituted by three phases five-level PWM rectifier, a clamping bridge and five-level NPC (VSI). In the first part, we present a topology of five-level NPC VSI, then they propose a model of this converter and an optimal PWM strategy to control it using four bipolar carriers. Then in the second part, we study a five-level PWM rectifier, which is controlled by a multiband hysteresis strategy. In the last part of this paper, the authors study shows particularly the problem of the stability of the multi DC voltages of the inverter and its consequence on the performances of the induction motors (IM). Then, we propose a solution to the problem by employed closed loop regulation using PI regulator type fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The results obtained with this solution confirm the good performances of the proposed solution, and promise to use the inverter in high voltage and great power applications as electrical traction.

$LCL$ Filter Design and Performance Analysis for Grid-Interconnected Systems

Abstract: The use of power converters is very important in maximizing the power transfer from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, or even a hydrogen-based fuel cell to the utility grid An LCL filter is often used to interconnect an inverter to the utility grid in order to filter the harmonics produced by the inverter Although there is an extensive amount of literature available describing LCL filters, there has been a gap in providing a systematic design methodology Furthermore, there has been a lack of a state-space mathematical modeling approach that considers practical cases of delta- and wye-connected capacitors showing their effects on possible grounding alternatives This paper describes a design methodology of an LCL filter for grid-interconnected inverters along with a comprehensive study of how to mitigate harmonics The procedures and techniques described in this paper may be used in small-scale renewable energy conversion systems and may be also retrofitted for medium- and large-scale grid-connected systems

MPPT techniques for photovoltaic applications

Abstract: The photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the renewable energies that attract the attention of researchers in the recent decades. The PV generators exhibit nonlinear I–V and P–V characteristics. The maximum power produced varies with both irradiance and temperature. Since the conversion efficiency of PV arrays is very low, it requires maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control techniques. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is the automatic control algorithm to adjust the power interfaces and achieve the greatest possible power harvest, during moment to moment variations of light level, shading, temperature, and photovoltaic module characteristics. The purpose of the MPPT is to adjust the solar operating voltage close to the MPP under changing atmospheric conditions. It has become an essential component to evaluate the design performance of PV power systems. This investigation aims to assess different MPPT techniques, provide background knowledge, implementation topology, grid interconnection of PV and solar microinverter requirements presented in the literature, doing depth comparisons between them with a brief discussion. The MPPT merits, demerits and classification, which can be used as a reference for future research related to optimizing the solar power generation, are also discussed. Conventional methods are easy to implement but they suffer from oscillations at MPP and tracking speed is less due to fixed perturb step. Intelligent methods are efficient; oscillations are lesser at MPP in steady state and tracked quickly in comparison to conventional methods.

A survey of the most used MPPT methods: Conventional and advanced algorithms applied for photovoltaic systems

Abstract: Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods are used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to continually maximize the PV array output power which generally depends on solar radiation and cell temperature. MPPT methods can be roughly classified into two categories: there are conventional methods, like the Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method and the Incremental Conductance (IncCond) method and advanced methods, such as, fuzzy logic (FL) based MPPT method. This paper presents a survey of these methods in order to analyze, simulate, and evaluate a PV power supply system under varying meteorological conditions. Simulation results, obtained using MATLAB/Simulink, show that static and dynamic performances of fuzzy MPPT controller are better than those of conventional techniques based controller.

Development of adaptive perturb and observe-fuzzy control maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic boost dc-dc converter

Abstract: This study presents an adaptive perturb and observe (P&O)-fuzzy control maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) boost dc-dc converter. P&O is known as a very simple MPPT algorithm and used widely. Fuzzy logic is also simple to be developed and provides fast response. The proposed technique combines both of their advantages. It should improve MPPT performance especially with existing of noise. For evaluation and comparison analysis, conventional P&O and fuzzy logic control algorithms have been developed too. All the algorithms were simulated in MATLAB-Simulink, respectively, together with PV module of Kyocera KD210GH-2PU connected to PV boost dc-dc converter. For hardware implementation, the proposed adaptive P&O-fuzzy control MPPT was programmed in TMS320F28335 digital signal processing board. The other two conventional MPPT methods were also programmed for comparison purpose. Performance assessment covers overshoot, time response, maximum power ratio, oscillation and stability as described further in this study. From the results and analysis, the adaptive P&O-fuzzy control MPPT shows the best performance with fast time response, less overshoot and more stable operation. It has high maximum power ratio as compared to the other two conventional MPPT algorithms especially with existing of noise in the system at low irradiance.
