Efficient energy yield is a major concern in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper describes a distributed control system to optimize the power output of the PV systems. The PV systems contain many PV modules. And every PV module has a monitoring and control network node. The communication data are successfully transmitted using a low-cost ZigBee wireless network. The field conditions are monitored by voltage, current, irradiance, and temperature sensors. The power operating point tracking is implemented at the PV module level. The reference voltage is calculated based on a neural network model, which is used to identify maximum power point. And the output voltage is regulated by a digital controller in the integrated converter according to the reference voltage. Experiments show that the power output can be greatly increased with this distributed control system under many shadow conditions.

Partial shading affects the energy harvested from photovoltaic (PV) modules, leading to a mismatch in PV systems and causing energy losses. For this purpose, differential power processing (DPP) converters are the emerging power electronic-based topologies used to address the mismatch issues. Normally, PV modules are connected in series and DPP converters are used to extract the power from these PV modules by only processing the fraction of power called mismatched power. In this work, a switched-capacitor-inductor (SCL)-based DPP converter is presented, which mitigates the non-ideal conditions in solar PV systems. A proposed SCL-based DPP technique utilizes a simple control strategy to extract the maximum power from the partially shaded PV modules by only processing a fraction of the power. Furthermore, an operational principle and loss analysis for the proposed converter is presented. The proposed topology is examined and compared with the traditional bypass diode technique through simulations and experimental tests. The efficiency of the proposed DPP is validated by the experiment and simulation. The results demonstrate the performance in terms of higher energy yield without bypassing the low-producing PV module by using a simple control. The results indicate that achieved efficiency is higher than 98% under severe mismatch (higher than 50%).
