In this paper, we present our contribution in photovoltaic energy optimization subject. In this research work, the goal is to determinate fastly the optimal PV Module working point, allowing maximum power extraction. In this work we use DC-DC Boost converter to control the working point, by adjusting PV voltage trough duty cycle. In order to achieve our goal, we use the combination of incremental conductance MPPT technique and DC-DC Boost converter backstepping control. The validation of this control is made by Matlab simulation; the obtained results prove its effectiveness and its good maximum power tracking dynamics for different irradiance and temperature profiles.

The power performance of the PV module with dc-dc buck converter for photovoltaic energy application has been analyzed in this paper. Since the solar module produces DC voltage at various levels depending on irradiance variation, it is needed to connect a DC-DC converter to adjust the level of DC voltage at a certain level. The power output has been investigated by MATLAB simulation. To improve the output power Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is used. From the simulation, it has been observed that around 13.85 Watts more output power can be extracted if PID control is used.

<span>The main components of a Stand-Alone Photovoltaic (SAPV) system consists of PV array, DC-DC converter, load and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm. MPPT algorithm was used for extracting maximum available power from PV module under a particular environmental condition by controlling the duty ratio of DC-DC converter. Based on maximum power transfer theorem, by changing the duty cycle, the load resistance as seen by the source is varied and matched with the internal resistance of PV module at maximum power point (MPP) so as to transfer the maximum power. Under sudden changes in solar irradiance, the selection of MPPT algorithm’s sampling time (T<sub>S_MPPT</sub>) is very much depends on two main components of the converter circuit namely; inductor and capacitor. As the value of these components increases, the settling time of the transient response for PV voltage and current will also increase linearly. Consequently, T<sub>S_MPPT </sub>needs to be increased for accurate MPPT and therefore reduce the tracking speed. This work presents a design considerations of DC-DC Boost Converter used in SAPV system for fast and accurate MPPT algorithm. The conventional Hill Climbing (HC) algorithm has been applied to track the MPP when subjected to sudden changes in solar irradiance. By selecting the optimum value of the converter circuit components, a fast and accurate MPPT especially during sudden changes in irradiance has been realized.</span>

This paper presents a simulation and laboratory test of Photovoltaic (PV) module incorporated with Positive Output (PO) Buck-Boost Converter for harnessing maximum energy from the solar PV module. The main intention is to invent a system which can harvest maximum power point (MPP) energy of the PV system in string-connection. The model-based design of the controller and maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for the system were implemented using MATLAB SIMULINK software. For laboratory execution, the digital microcontroller of dsPIC30F digital signal controller (DSC) was used to control the prototype of PO buck-boost converter. The code generation via MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from model-based design was embedded into the dsPIC30F using the SKds40A target board and PICkit 3 circuit debugger. The system was successfully simulated and verified by simulation and laboratory evaluations. A physical two PV module of PV-MF120EC3 Mitsubishi Electric is modeled in string connection to represent a mismatch module. While in laboratory process, a string-connection of 10W and 5W PV module is implemented for the mismatch module condition.

Herein, the voltage and current output characteristics of a laser photovoltaic (PV) module applied to a wireless power transmission system using a laser beam are analyzed. First, an experiment is conducted to obtain the characteristic data of the voltage and current based on the laser output power of the laser PV module, which generates the maximum power from the laser beam at a wavelength of 1080 nm; subsequently, the small-signal voltage and current characteristics of the laser PV module are analyzed. From the analysis results, it is confirmed that the laser PV module has a characteristic in which the maximum power generation point varies according to the power level of the laser beam. In addition, similar to the solar cell module, it is confirmed that the laser PV module has a current source and a voltage source region, and it shows a small signal resistance characteristic having a negative value as the operating point goes to the current source region. In addition, in this paper, by reflecting these electrical characteristics, a method for designing the controller of a power converter capable of charging a battery while generating maximum power from a PV module is proposed. Since the laser PV module corresponds to the input source of the boost converter used as the power conversion unit, the small-signal transfer function of the boost converter, including the PV module, is derived for the controller design. Therefore, by designing a controller that can stably control the voltage of the PV module in the current source, the maximum power point, and voltage source regions defined according to the output characteristics of the laser PV module, the maximum power is generated from the PV module. Herein, a systematic controller design method for a boost converter for laser wireless power transmission is presented, and the proposed method is validated based on the simulation and experimental results of a 25-W-class boost converter based on a microcontroller unit control.

Purpose A two switches non-isolated DC-DC novel buck-boost converter for charging the battery of electric vehicle is projected in this paper. The performance of the converter is compared with conventional buck-boost and transformer-less P/O buck-boost converter by Shan and Faqiang. The detail operation and performance analysis of the proposed converter is described both in continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode. A state space model and simulation model is designed in MATLAB. The PID controller parameters are tuned using Single-objective Salp swarm optimization algorithm using MATLAB. The controller is implemented using DSP board. The hardware and simulation results are projected in the paper to validate the effectiveness of the proposed buck-boost converter. A comparison analysis is projected among conventional converter and Shan & Faqiang converter. Design/methodology/approach The converter state space model is designed and simulation model is also developed in MATALAB. The controller is implemented using DSP board. The parameters are obtained using optimization technique using SSA algorithm. The hardware design is also implemented, and the result is compared with the Shan and Faqiang converter. The efficiency of the converter is also tested. Findings The converter is providing a higher efficiency. The inductor current is also positive in both buck and boost mode. The robustness of the controller is better for a wide range of variation of input voltage because the output voltage remains almost constant. Therefore, this is very suitable for battery charging and PV module application. Practical implications For battery charging from PV module where voltage fluctuation is frequent. Social implications The authors can use household applications to charge the battery using PV module. Originality/value The converter design concept is new. Optimization is used to find the parameters of the controllers and is implemented in hardware design. The parameters obtained provide robustness in the converter performance.

This paper exhibits performance of power of photovoltaic (PV) module in the case of shading effect. A comparison is made with performance of power of PV module void of MPPT solution. From the MATLAB simulation it is found that around 9.92% more average power generation is possible if MPPT (maximum power power point) solution is taken. To take the effect of partial shading a variation of irradiance profile has been proposed since change of irradiance causes the variation of output power to a great extent. Again to observe the performance of output power with MPPT Fuzzy logic control has been introduced for making the tracking fast and accurate. Mamdani control has been chosen as a technique for fuzzy controller. On top of this, mathematical structure of PV module has been prepared in MATLAB simulink to see output preview of PV module and this module has been linked to the fuzzy logic system to trace the peak power. In the simulation process the instantaneous power, average power and percentage power development are being analyzed with figures.
