In this paper, a robust and constraint feedback linearization controller (FLC) with a modified incremental conductance (Inc.Cond) is proposed for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in the photovoltaic (PV) systems and overall closed-loop internal stability is guaranteed. The proposed technique is independent with respect to load and is robust against disturbances in the load voltage. A boost chopper converter is utilized as an interface between the PV panel and load to control the system at the best operating point. A modified Inc.Cond method based on current orientation and without division equations is presented. The Inc.Cond method is utilized to generate the desired current for the FLC. The FLC navigates the PV panel to the maximum power point with high speed, whereas the control signal (duty cycle) constraints are monitored. Finally, the MPPT technique is validated through simulation and experimental results and two scenarios are defined to confirm controller robustness and modified Inc.Cond performance.

Solar energy is a potential energy source in India. A photovoltaic is a efficient way to cure the energy in a huge amount and keep to gather that kind of energy for future, and the PV must have good efficiency. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a process that tracks one maximum power point from array input, in which the ratio varies between the voltage and current delivered to get the most power it can. Several algorithms have been developed for extracting maximum power. To increase its efficiency many MPPT techniques are used. Incremental conductance is one of the important techniques in this system and because of its higher steady-state accuracy and environmental adaptability it is a widely implemented tracked control strategy. This research was aimed to explore the performance of a maximum power point tracking system that implements the Incremental Conductance (IC) method. The IC algorithm was designed to control the duty cycle of the Buck-Boost converter and to ensure the MPPT work at its maximum efficiency. From the simulation, the IC method shows better performance and also has a lower oscillation.

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.

Taking the hydraulic wind turbine as the research object, the method is studied to improve the utilization ratio of wind energy for hydraulic wind turbine, when the wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed. The hydraulic fixed displacement pump speed and generating power can be used as control output to realize the maximum power point tracking control. The characteristics of the maximum power point tracking control are analyzed for hydraulic wind turbine, and the hydraulic output power is taken as control output based on the comprehensive performance requirements. Because the hydraulic wind turbine is a strong multiplication nonlinear system, the system is globally linearized based the feedback linearization method, and the maximum power point tracking control law is obtained. The simulation and experiment results show that the system has good dynamic performance with the proposed control law. The control provides theoretical guidance for optimal power tracking control law application for hydraulic wind turbine.

Solar energy harvesting using Photovoltaic (PV) systems is one of the most popular sources of renewable energy, however the main drawback of PV systems is their low conversion efficiency. An optimal system operation requires an efficient tracking of the Maximum Power Point (MPP), which represents the maximum energy that can be extracted from the PV panel. This paper presents a novel control approach for the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) based on the differential flatness property of the Boost converter, which is one of the most used converters in PV systems. The underlying idea of the proposed control approach is to use the classical flatness-based trajectory tracking control where a reference voltage will be defined in terms of the maximum power provided by the PV panel. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is assessed through numerical simulations and experimental tests. The results show that the controller based on differential flatness is capable of converging in less than 0.15 s and, compared with other MPPT techniques, such as Incremental Conductance and Perturb and Observe, it improves the response against sudden changes in load or weather conditions, reducing the ringing in the output of the system. Based on the results, it can be inferred that the new flatness-based controller represents an alternative to improve the MPPT in PV systems, especially when they are subject to sudden load or weather changes.

The partial shading of photovoltaic (PV) modules due to clouds or blocking objects, such as buildings or tree leaves, is a common problem for photovoltaic systems. To address this, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is implemented to find the global maximum power point (GMPP). In this paper, a new hybrid MPPT is proposed that combines a modified grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) with incremental conductance (IC). In the first stage, the proposed modified GOA is implemented to find a suitable tracking area where the GMPP is located. Then the system moves to the second stage by implementing IC to get the correct GMPP. IC is a fast-performing and reliable algorithm. By combining GOA and IC, the proposed method can find the GMPP accurately with a short tracking time. Various experimental results show that the proposed method yields the highest tracking efficiency and lowest tracking time compared to some of the state-of-the-art MPPT algorithms, such as particle swarm and modified firefly optimizations.
