The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm has become an integral part of many charge controllers that are used in photovoltaic (PV) systems. Most of the existing algorithms have a compromise among simplicity, tracking speed, ability to track accurately, and cost. In this work, a novel “straight-line approximation based Maximum Power Point (MPP) finding algorithm” is proposed where the intersections of two linear lines have been utilized to find the MPP, and investigated for its effectiveness in tracking maximum power points in case of rapidly changing weather conditions along with tracking speed using standard irradiance and temperature curves for validation. In comparison with a conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O) method, the Proposed method takes fewer iterations and also, it can precisely track the MPP s even in a rapidly varying weather condition with minimal deviation. The Proposed algorithm is also compared with P&O algorithm in terms of accuracy in duty cycle and efficiency. The results show that the errors in duty cycle and power extraction are much smaller than the conventional P&O algorithm.

Efisiensi konversi energi yang rendah menjadi masalah utama padaupembangkit listrikutenagausurya (PLTS). Makalah ini membahas tentang implementasi metode maximum power point tracking (MPPT) dengan algoritma incremental conductance (IC) pada sistem panel surya dengan kapasitas 100 Wattpeak (Wp) yang bertujuan untuk mendapatkan daya keluaran yang paling optimal dari panel surya. Sistem dibangun dengan menggunakan konverter DC/DC buck-boost dan mikrokontroler sebagai pengolah algoritma MPPT serta pusat kendali sistem. Mikrokontroler akan mengontrol duty cycle dari konverter buck-boost dan memastikan bahwa panel surya selalu beroperasi pada kondisi titik daya maksimum dengan menggunakan algoritma IC. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan metode MPPT dengan algoritma IC pada sistem panel surya 100 Wp dapat memaksimalkan daya keluaran dari panel surya sebesar 56%-94% dibandingkan dengan penggunaan panel surya secara langsung tanpa menggunakan MPPT.

This paper addresses the control of a Tubular Linear Switched Reluctance Generator (TLSRG) with application in a point absorber device. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy is proposed to maximize the power extraction from ocean waves. The generator is characterized by average maximum force of 120 kN and a maximum velocity of 1.3 m/s. The proposed MPPT is achieved by changing the generator damping load according to the excitation force induced by a regular wave. A hysteresis controller is applied to regulate the phase current intensity which allows the control of the linear force provided by the generator. The conversion system direct current (DC) bus voltage is adjusted by an isolated DC/DC converter with a proportional integral controller to define the appropriate duty-cycle.

In microgrids, distributed generators that cannot be dispatched, such as a photovoltaic system, need to control their output power at the maximum power point. The fluctuation of their output power should be minimized with the support of the maximum power point tracking algorithm under the variation of ambient conditions. In this paper, a new maximum power point tracking method based on the parameters of power deviation (ΔPPV), voltage difference (ΔVPV), and duty cycle change (ΔD) is proposed for photovoltaic systems. The presented algorithm achieves the following good results: (i) when the solar radiance is fixed, the output power is stable around the maximum power point; (ii) when the solar radiance is rapidly changing, the generated power is always in the vicinity of maximum power points; (iii) the effectiveness of energy conversion is comparable to that of intelligent algorithms. The proposed algorithm is presented and compared with traditional and intelligent maximum power point tracking algorithms on the simulation model by MATLAB/Simulink under different radiation scenarios to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has met great attention in the electrical power generation field for its many advantages in both on and off-grid applications. The requirement for higher proficiency from the PV system to reap the energy requires maximum power point tracking techniques (MPPT). This paper presents an adaptive MPPT of a stand-alone PV system using an updated PI controller optimized by harmony search (HS). A lockup table is formed for the temperature and irradiance with the corresponding voltage at MPP (VMPP). This voltage is considered as the updated reference voltage required for MPP at each temperature and irradiance. The difference between this updated reference voltage at MPP and the variable PV voltage due to changing the environmental conditions is used to stimulate PI controller optimized by HS to update the duty cycle (D) of the DC-DC converter. Another lockup table is formed with the temperature, irradiance and the corresponding duty cycle at MPP to convert this MPP technique into an adaptive one. An experimental implementation of the proposed adaptive MPPT is introduced to test the validity of the simulation results obtained at different irradiance and temperature levels.

The most important issue in the use of wind energy conversion systems is to ensure maximum power extraction in terms of efficiency. Therefore, maximum power point tracking algorithms are as important as the maximum power point tracking controller. In this study, maximum power extraction frameworks operating the state-of-the-art optimization methods are presented for permanent magnet synchronous generator–based wind energy conversion system. These frameworks consist of a Gauss map–based chaotic particle swarm optimization and a hybrid maximum power point tracking approach that combines feedback linearization technique with fractional-order calculus. The feedback linearization control strategy can fully decouple and linearize the original state variables of the nonlinear system and thus provide an optimal controller crossing wide-range operating conditions. The objective is to maintain the tip speed ratio at its optimal value, which implies the use of a rotational speed loop. The method is based on the feedback linearization technique and the fractional control theory. Gauss map–based chaotic particle swarm optimization, which is a remarkable and recent optimization technique, is utilized to achieve optimum coefficients to efficiently ensure the maximum power point tracking operation in here. A simulation study is carried out on a 3-kW wind energy conversion system to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

A hybrid MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller integrates FLC (fuzzy logic controller) and P&O (Perturbation and Observation) method for MMPT of PV (Photovoltaic) under dynamic weather conditions is proposed. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is used to optimize parameters and membership functions of FLC. FLC is used to find the region of MPP (maximum power point); then, P&O technique is employed to accurately track the MPP. MATLAB/Simulink models are built to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid algorithm. In order to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm, comparisons with standalone FLC and P&O are carried out. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested against dynamic weather condition. The results showed that the proposed algorithm successfully improve the dynamic and steady state responses of PV under severe dynamic weather condition. More specifically, the proposed approach shows its capability to attain the MPP faster than P&O and provided higher power than the standalone FLC. Finally, the proposed algorithm overcomes the limitations associated with FLC and P&O.
