Abstract
This paper presents a new maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method which can improve the dynamic tracking ability under two varying external conditions, rapid irradiance variation and grid voltage fluctuation. Different from irradiance variation, the dynamic error of tracking voltage caused by grid voltage fluctuation is usually ignored by MPPT methods. The dynamic error of tracking voltage can make the unexpected power change of photovoltaic system and influence the dynamic MPPT efficiency. According to the different current increment changes under the irradiance variation and the grid voltage fluctuation, the reasons of dynamic voltage errors are analyzed and distinguished. And two corresponding modes of variable step size are designed in the tracking algorithm to regulate the voltage deviation from MPPs. The effectiveness and the improved dynamic tracking performance of the proposed MPPT method are verified by simulation results under the above two varying external conditions.
