A new simple moving voltage average (SMVA) technique with fixed step direct control incremental conductance method is introduced to reduce solar photovoltaic voltage (VPV) oscillation under nonuniform solar irradiation conditions. To evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed SMVA method in comparison with the conventional fixed step direct control incremental conductance method under extreme conditions, different scenarios were simulated. Simulation results show that in most cases SMVA gives better results with more stability as compared to traditional fixed step direct control INC with faster tracking system along with reduction in sustained oscillations and possesses fast steady state response and robustness. The steady state oscillations are almost eliminated because of extremely smalldP/dVaround maximum power (MP), which verify that the proposed method is suitable for standalone PV system under extreme weather conditions not only in terms of bus voltage stability but also in overall system efficiency.

In order to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic generation as well as the power quality, grid-connected inverters for PV generation research was carried out for photovoltaic maximum power point tracking. Based on some current studies on the incremental conductance method, an advanced incremental conductance control algorithm was proposed, which can track maximum power point rapidly and accurately. The oscillation phenomenon, which exists near the maximum power point, was improved at a great extent, so to the efficiency of photovoltaic cells generation electricity. The inverter control system has an advantage in its high speed and flexibility by applying advanced control algorithm. And the source harmonic current is remarkably reduced. In addition, the power factor is enhanced and the power quality is improved. Finally, according to the principle of inverter control system and based on the analysis on the mathematical model of photovoltaic inverter, a simulation model of that is established based on MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This paper presents a control strategy proposed for power maximizing which is a critical mechanism to ensure power track is maximized. Many tracking algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. One of the more commonly used techniques is the incremental conductance method. In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization- (IPSO-) based MPPT technique for photovoltaic system operating under varying environmental conditions is proposed. The approach of linearly decreasing scheme for weighting factor and cognitive and social parameter is modified. The proposed control scheme can overcome deficiency and accelerate convergence of the IPSO-based MPPT algorithm. The approach is not only capable of tracking the maximum power point under uniform insolation state, but also able to find the maximum power point under fast changing nonuniform insolation conditions. The photovoltaic systematic process with control schemes is created using MATLAB Simulink to verify the effectiveness with several simulations being carried out and then compared with the conventional incremental conductance technique. Lastly, the effectiveness of the intended techniques is proven using real data obtained form previous literature. With the change in insolation and temperature portrait, it produces exceptional MPPT maximization. This shows that optimum performance is achieved using the intended method compared to the typical method.

The MPP of Photovoltaic power system undergoes migration or volatility under the influence of the external environments, especially light intensity changes. MPPT control is a very important method to increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system. But the existing variable step length incremental conductance method would produce misjudgment or even tracking failure when outside light intensity mutations. A variable step length incremental conductance MPPT control method based on power prediction has been proposed. This involves modeling, simulation and comparison of the different methods in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The proposed method can not only avoid misjudgments but can also track the MPP efficiently, improving the control accuracy compared with the variable step length incremental conductance method.
