Applied tests on a real photovoltaic panel for a consolidated analysis require complex experiment setup and permanent availability of climatic conditions. This method is ineffective and can damage the PV system. As a result, PV emulators are highly requested in solar energy conversion and generation research, which rests essentially on a maximum power point tracking control algorithm (MPPT) and an adapting power stage as the DC-DC converter and PV inverter. The PV emulator guarantees a controllable light source environment to act as a real PV system in the laboratory. This paper deals with the study and development of an experimental PV emulator based on logarithmic approximation of the ideal single diode model (ISDM), which is implemented using analog electronic components. Mainly, the PV model, the controller, and the power stages, forming the PV emulator, are described. This simple, low-cost, and efficient device is considered as a nonlinear power supply template replacing the real PV system for any operating point irrespective of the environmental condition changes. The emulated current-voltage and power-voltage curves are validated via resistive load and batteries. Then, the performance of the proposed PV emulator is evaluated by its ability to recharge properly two 12V 7 Ah batteries.

The photovoltaic panel is characterized by a unique point called the maximum power point (MPP) where the panel produces its maximum power. However, this point is highly influenced by the weather conditions and the fluctuation of load which drop the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. Therefore, the insertion of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is compulsory to track the maximum power of the panel. The approach adopted in this paper is based on combining the strengths of two maximum power point tracking techniques. As a result, an efficient maximum power point tracking method is obtained. It leads to an accurate determination of the MPP during different situations of climatic conditions and load. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT method, it has been simulated in matlab/simulink under different conditions.

Abstract Backgrounds: Solar photo-voltaic (PV) arrays have non-linear characteristics with distinctive maximum power point (MPP) which relies on ecological conditions such as solar radiation and ambient temperature. In order to obtain continuous maximum power (MP) from PV arrays under varying ecological conditions, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control methods are employed. MPPT is utilized to extract MP from the solar PV array, high-performance soft computing techniques can be used as an MPPT technique. Results: In order to show the feasibility and performance of the proposed Artificial Intelligence based Perturbe and Observe (AIAPO) MPPT controller, a simulation analysis has been carried out using the PV system. Combined results with different MPPT systems for power, voltage and current waveforms are the output values increase to 272.4W, 157V and 1.74A respectively. Using proposed AIAPO MPPT provides more accurate and stable result as compared to Perturbe and Observe (PO), Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based MPPT Technique. As per the experimentation performed by various MPPT techniques are carried out for PV system which are clearly indicating that the comparative analysis of power, voltage and current performance of PV system (i.e. have been recorded 272.4W, 157V and 1.74A) using proposed MPPT method which is better than the PO based MPPT (i.e. 169.1W, 127V, 1.43A), FL based MPPT technique (i.e. 256.9W, 152V, 1.69A) and ANN based MPPT technique (i.e. 265W, 154V, 1.71A) correspondingly. Conclusions: The aim of this paper is to track MPP from the solar PV array by the proposed hybrid controller for irradiation changes and comparing results with PO, FL and ANN based MPPT controllers. Different MPPT techniques have been used to compute MPP and improved efficiency of the PV panel. AIAPO, ANN, FL and PO MPPT methods have been chosen to obtain this objective. Simulation results showing that the system in which proposed control method has been used gives better performance and reduce fluctuations of the MPP as compared to PO, FL and ANN based MPPT technique at rapid changes of irradiation. In order to fabricate a reliable and real time hybrid system, there is a massive scope of research to develop multi-input renewable energy systems.


Changing meteorological conditions influence the output power of the Photovolataic systems, which affect the overall performance of the system, in turn reduces the overall efficiency. So, to draw maximal power from the PV system a technique called maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is incorporated. Two perturbations-based algorithms are presented in this paper are Perturb and Observe (P&O), and Modified drift-free perturb and observe (MP&O). Fixed step size duty ratio is used in both of these algorithms. The boost converter is used between the photovoltaic module and the resistive Load. The simulation and experimental results for 250W PV module are presented. The simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB SIMULINK. The algorithms are implemented using TMS320F28069M.
