Abstract Backgrounds: Solar photo-voltaic (PV) arrays have non-linear characteristics with distinctive maximum power point (MPP) which relies on ecological conditions such as solar radiation and ambient temperature. In order to obtain continuous maximum power (MP) from PV arrays under varying ecological conditions, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control methods are employed. MPPT is utilized to extract MP from the solar PV array, high-performance soft computing techniques can be used as an MPPT technique. Results: In order to show the feasibility and performance of the proposed Artificial Intelligence based Perturbe and Observe (AIAPO) MPPT controller, a simulation analysis has been carried out using the PV system. Combined results with different MPPT systems for power, voltage and current waveforms are the output values increase to 272.4W, 157V and 1.74A respectively. Using proposed AIAPO MPPT provides more accurate and stable result as compared to Perturbe and Observe (PO), Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based MPPT Technique. As per the experimentation performed by various MPPT techniques are carried out for PV system which are clearly indicating that the comparative analysis of power, voltage and current performance of PV system (i.e. have been recorded 272.4W, 157V and 1.74A) using proposed MPPT method which is better than the PO based MPPT (i.e. 169.1W, 127V, 1.43A), FL based MPPT technique (i.e. 256.9W, 152V, 1.69A) and ANN based MPPT technique (i.e. 265W, 154V, 1.71A) correspondingly. Conclusions: The aim of this paper is to track MPP from the solar PV array by the proposed hybrid controller for irradiation changes and comparing results with PO, FL and ANN based MPPT controllers. Different MPPT techniques have been used to compute MPP and improved efficiency of the PV panel. AIAPO, ANN, FL and PO MPPT methods have been chosen to obtain this objective. Simulation results showing that the system in which proposed control method has been used gives better performance and reduce fluctuations of the MPP as compared to PO, FL and ANN based MPPT technique at rapid changes of irradiation. In order to fabricate a reliable and real time hybrid system, there is a massive scope of research to develop multi-input renewable energy systems.

Modeling and simulation of a photovoltaic solar system play a significant role in understanding its behavior in various environmental conditions. Utilization of the datasheet information in modeling and simulation of the PV system correlates the experimental data and the theory that instigate the mathematical predictions of an actual system. A single-diode model gives a simple, fast, and straightforward way of depicting the PV system performance. We have developed a new approach of determining the five unknown parameters of a single-diode model using manufacturer’s data at three main points: the open circuit point (OCP), short circuit point (SCP), and the maximum power point (MPP) of the IV and PV curves. The ideality factor (A) and the diode saturation current (Io) are the key unknown parameters that greatly affect the reduplication of the three main points. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ideality factor using simple calculation procedure starting from its optimal value (Ao) and other values within the proximity of Ao. The optimal value is obtained by assumptions of negligible series resistance (Rs) and very large shunt resistance (Rsh). Therefore, the choice of the other ideality factors in the neighborhood of its optimal value gives rise to different values of Rs, Rsh, and Iph that are more realistic in an experimental setup. Positive values of Rsh and Rs have been iteratively obtained by utilizing data at maximum power point combined with open and short circuit data. The five unknown parameters have been determined in the proximity of Ao and have been used to plot the PV curve with accuracy and precision of less than 0.5% error of maximum power and less than 0.1% error of Voc of manufacturer’s data. The proposed method has been implemented using fast, simple, and accurate procedures using GNU Octave programming software to calculate Ao, Io, Rs, Rsh, and Iph and to execute both Rs-Rsh and PV characteristic equations of BP3235T, KC200GT, BP-SX 150, and MSX60 PV modules. The reduced steps employed in the algorithm improve execution speed, thereby reducing the computation time.

Photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the reliable alternative sources of energy and its contribution in energy sector is growing rapidly. The performance of PV system depends upon the solar insolation, which will be varying throughout the day, season and year. The biggest challenge is to obtain the maximum power from PV array at varying insolation levels. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller, in association with tracking algorithm will act as a principal element in driving the PV system at maximum power point (MPP). In this paper, the simulation model has been developed and the results were compared for perturb and observe, incremental conductance, extremum seeking control and fuzzy logic controller based MPPT algorithms at different irradiation levels on a 10 KW PV array. The results obtained were analysed in terms of convergence rate and their efficiency to track the MPP.Article History: Received 3rd Oct 2016; Received in revised form 6th January 2017; Accepted 10th February 2017; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Naick, B.
