Abstract

This paper presents the system allowing the extraction of maximum power from a sun based on solar photovoltaic module and backstepping control based on a P&O MPPT algorithm for a DC-DC buck converter. The aim of this research work is to determinate quickly the optimal PV Module working point which allowed to extract the maximum power. This work, based on a usage of a DC-DC buck converter to control the working point by adjusting PV voltage trough a duty cycle. In order to achieve our goal, we used the combination of perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm and DC-DC buck converter with backstepping control. This model was implemented in Matlab/Simulink software, the results of simulation prove its effectiveness in term of maximum power tracking dynamics for different irradiance and temperature profiles.

Highlights

  • Since the industrial revolution, the energy mix of most countries across the world has become dominated by fossil fuels [2]

  • We present the PV Module model and its behaviour for variation of radiation and temperature, in the third section we present the DC-DC Buck converter model, in the fourth section, we present the DC-DC Buck converter control design using backstepping technique, after that in the fifth section, we present our Maximum Power Point (MPPT) algorithm based on the principal of Perturb and Observe (P&O), sixth section we give the simulation results of the PV conversion control, followed by conclusion [1]

  • This article brings to light the steps taken to model the photovoltaic module from equivalent circuit and the equations of a solar cell
