This paper will provide a classification of high efficiency switching power-gyrator structures and their use as cells for energy processing in photovoltaic solar facilities. Having into account the properties of these topologies presented in the article, their inclusion in solar facilities allows increasing the performance of the whole installation. Therefore, the design, simulation and implementation of a Gtype power gyrator are carried out throughout the text. In addition, in order to obtain the maximum power from the photovoltaic solar panel, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is mandatory in the energy processing path. Therefore, the practical implementation carried out includes a control loop of the power gyrator in order to track the aforementioned maximum power point of the photovoltaic solar panel.

This article concerns maximizing the energy reproduced from the photovoltaic (PV) system, ensured by using an efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) process. The process should be fast, rigorous and simple for implementation because the PV characteristics are extremely affected by fast changing conditions and Partial Shading (PS). PV systems are popularly known to have many peaks (one Global Peak (GP) and several local peaks). Therefore, the MPPT algorithm should be able to accurately detect the unique GP as the maximum power point (MPP), and avoid any other peak to mitigate the effect of (PS). Usually, with no shading, nearly all the conventional methods can easily reach the MPP with high efficiency. Nonetheless, they fail to extract the GP when PS occurs. To overcome this problem, Evolutionary Algorithms (AEs), namely the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are simulated and compared to the conventional methods (Perturb & Observe) under the same software.


Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining importance increasingly as it directly converts solar radiation into electrical energy which is renewable and environment friendly. Where it has a numerous advantage, some disadvantages are also there like its dependency on environmental conditions. The power developed by solar panel decreases if it does not get uniform radiation. Sometimes due to nearby buildings, passing clouds etc. PV module might be partially shaded because of which power output of solar panel may get decrease this is called partial shading conditions. It causes significant reduction in the system power output. To overcome this, maximum power point-tracking under partial shading condition by continuous duty cycle variation schemes have been proposed, in which dc–dc boost converters are connected to PV module to enable maximum power extraction. In this paper a new method of Duty Sweep Maximum Power Point Tracking (DSMPPT) has been implanted, which is capable of tracking the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) in the presence of other local maxima. The proposed scheme tracks Maximum Power Point (MPP) by continuous variation of converter’s duty cycle without the use of costly components such as signal converters and microprocessors thereby increasing the compactness of the system.

This paper presents an integrated power control system for photovoltaic systems based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The architecture presented in this paper is designed to extract more power from photovoltaic panels under different partial obscuring conditions. To control the MPPT block, the integrated system used the ripple correlation control algorithm (RCC), as well as a high-efficiency synchronous direct current (DC-DC) boost power converter. Using 180 nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the proposed MPPT was designed, simulated, and layout in virtuoso cadence. The system is attached to a two-cell in series that generates a 5.2 V average output voltage, 656.6 mA average output current, and power efficiency of 95%. The final design occupies only 1.68 mm2.
