Approaches for Maximizing Maximum Power Point Tracking and Evaluating Operational Constraints in Photovoltaic Systems

Abstract: Optimization techniques have broad utility in multiple engineering fields, including activities such as modeling, system identification, parameter estimation, forecasting, and control of intricate systems. This innovation emphasizes the use of optimization approaches to control the performance of Photo-voltaic (PV) array systems. The main difficulty lies in the nonlinear correlation between current and voltage (I-V) characteristics of PV arrays, resulting in variations in the location of the Maximum Power Point under varied climatic circumstances. It is crucial to track this Maximum electricity Point efficiently in order to collect the highest amount of electricity possible from the photovoltaic devices. Maximum Power Point Tracking is a tracking procedure that optimizes power generation by dynamically altering the operating voltage to coincide with the MPP. In order to tackle this difficulty, the paper suggests a unique two-stage Maximum Power Point Tracking technique. The initial phase applies the Weightless Swarm Algorithm to evaluate the Maximum Power Point in an offline manner. The subsequent phase employs an online Adaptive Perturb & Observe technique to continuously track the MPP in real-time. In addition, an Approximate Single Diode Model is created to quickly assess the output power. In order to verify the suggested method, computer simulations are performed utilizing a Maximum Power Point Tracking system that is combined with a Single-Ended PrimaryInductor Converter

Analysis of deep learning models for estimation of MPP and extraction of maximum power from hybrid PV-TEG: A step towards cleaner energy production

The Hybrid Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric generation system (PV-TEG) exhibits immense potential for effectively harnessing solar energy. However, the overall effectiveness of the hybrid PV-TEG system is hindered by the relatively low efficiency of both PV and thermoelectric generation (TEG). To overcome this limitation, this research investigates the application of an evolutionary Neural Network (NN)-based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control technique. This proposed control technique utilizes a Growth Optimizer Algorithm (GO-algorithm) to optimize the weights and biases of a Deep Neural Network (DNN), enabling real-time tracking of the global maximum power point (GMM). Furthermore, to fortify the robustness of the MPPT control, a modified Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller is used whose gains are tuned using the GO-algorithm (GO-FOPID). Experimental evaluations conclusively demonstrate the efficacy of the evolutionary NN-based MPPT control technique in enhancing the generation efficiency of hybrid PV-TEG systems. The effectiveness of the proposed MPPT technique is validated through a comparative analysis with other MPPT techniques. The GO-DNN-based MPPT controller excels in its real-time global maxima tracking capability, exhibiting minimal power oscillations with average efficiency of 99.928% and an exceptionally low tracking time of less than 5ms. This superior performance is verified by comparative, simulation, quantitative, and statistical analyses, thereby highlighting the efficiency, tracking time, stability, and fault detection capabilities of the GO-DNN and GO-FOPID controllers across various practical scenarios.

Optimizing Photovoltaic Systems: A Decision Matrix Approach for Selecting the Optimal Maximum Power Point Tracking Technique

Numerous strategies exist for improving maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques, which vary in terms of tracking speed, accuracy, sensor usage, complexity, and cost. Due to the importance of sustainable energy use and related challenges, it is essential to choose an appropriate algorithm that can reliably provide energy without exhausting resources. While much research has examined the benefits and drawbacks of different MPPT algorithms, guidance on selecting the best suited algorithm for a particular solar system application is lacking. For a fair and thorough comparison, this study analyzes four MPPT algorithms, including two artificial intelligence-based techniques, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, and a conventional technique. A decision matrix model and requirement analysis are used to determine their suitability for a standalone PV application, using particularly ranked evaluation criteria, which include tracking efficiency, implementation costs, rise time, settling time, tracking error and variance.

Performance optimization of interleaved boost converter with ANN supported adaptable stepped-scaled P&O based MPPT for solar powered applications

Solar energy is the most promising among many renewable energy sources to meet the increasing demand. Photovoltaic (PV) based power generating solutions are expected to gain popularity as a power source for different applications, including independent and grid connected loads, due to their cleanliness, high performance, and high dependability. The efficacy of photovoltaic systems is impacted by several elements, including geographical location, positioning, shadowing effects, and local climate conditions. In order to fulfil the demands of loads, an interleaved boost converter is utilized, which has a reduced number of filters with less stress on the devices. Solar powered systems employ several maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methodologies. However, when there is partial shading, many power peaks arise, which complicates the identification of the overall peak. Although MPPT approaches are designed to measure and maintain the global maximum power point (GMPP), there are still significant oscillations observed around the GMPP with subpar settling time, tracking efficiency, and conversion efficiency. In this work, novel hybrid MPPT technique called artificial neural network supported adaptable stepped-scaled perturb and observe (ANN-ASSPO) method and water cycle optimization based perturb and observe (WCO-PO) have been proposed. Artificial neural network (ANN) has been used to determine the best scaling factor in ANN-ASSPO MPPT. Performance is enhanced in ANN-ASSPO MPPT by using the optimum scaling factor, particularly in situations when the irradiance is rapidly changing/partial shading conditions. Similarly, in WCO-PO MPPT water cycle optimization is used to determine the peak power when the PV panel is subjected to partial shading conditions. The performances of proposed hybrid MPPT ANN-ASSPO and WCO-PO techniques have been compared in terms of power generated, output voltage, average settling time and conversion efficiency. The MATLAB/Simulink tool is employed to carry out the experiment for this study.

PROGRESSIVE STEP MAXIMUM POWER TRACKER FOR CASCADED INVERTER INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVE

This paper presents the idea of an isolated photovoltaic (PV) based cascaded two-level inverter (CTLI), driving squirrel cage induction motor (SCIM). The connected non-linear load approximately represents a centrifugal pump. The control system of this drive is based on a motor control system along with a progressive step perturb and observe (PSPnO) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for the PV sources towards better utilization of the source. This PSPnO MPPT system intends to operate the SCIM so that the energy developed by PV is utilized entirely through variation of the dc-link voltages of the CTLI under both uncertain variances of non-linear load torque and unpredictable solar irradiance.

Novel Global MPPT Technique Based on Hybrid Cuckoo Search and Artificial Bee Colony under Partial-Shading Conditions

Under partial-shading conditions (PSCs), the output P-V curve of the photovoltaic array shows a multi-peak shape. This poses a challenge for traditional maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms to accurately track the global maximum power point (GMPP). Single intelligent algorithms such as PSO and ABC have difficulty balancing tracking speed and tracking accuracy. Additionally, there is significant power oscillation during the tracking process. Therefore, this paper proposes a new hybrid method called the Cuckoo Search Algorithm and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (CSA-ABC) for photovoltaic MPPT. The CSA-ABC algorithm combines the local random walk and the global levy flight mechanism of the cuckoo algorithm, by probability selection, to decide whether to group the population, and introduces adaptive weight factors and gravitational mechanisms between adjacent individuals, incorporating an algorithm restart mechanism to track new MPPs in response to changes in the external environment. The algorithm is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink using a photovoltaic power-generation system model. Simulation verification is performed under different PSC scenarios. The results show that the proposed MPPT algorithm is 6.2–78.6% faster than the PSO, CSA, and ABC algorithms and two other hybrid algorithms, with a smaller power oscillation during the tracking process and zero power oscillation during the steady process.

The proposed technique balances the zero-sequence current, reduces THD, and reduces the switching losses over the inverter. The proposed work is evaluated in MATLAB/Simulink software and compared with the existing conventional induction motor (IM), Conventional OEWIM Drive, and scalar decoupled PWM-based IM techniques under two climatic conditions. Thus, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique accomplishes better than the existing techniques.

Comparative Study of MPPT Techniques in Solar PV Systems: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract: Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is a very important technique which is employed in photovoltaic systems to extract maximum available power from the Photovoltaic panels under varying operating conditions. This paper presents a comparative study of different MPPT techniques, including traditional methods like Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (Inc Con), Constant voltage method, as well as intelligent methods like Fibonacci algorithm-based search MPPT and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique. The advantages and disadvantages of each technique are discussed in detail, along with their suitability for different applications. The paper concludes by highlighting the limitations of existing techniques and proposing a problem statement for developing a novel MPPT technique that addresses these limitations. Traditional MPPT techniques like Perturb and Observe , Incremental Conductance, and constant voltage method are straightforward to deploy and computationally economical. However, they can encounter issues such as being trapped in local maxima and exhibiting slower tracking rates during swift changes in irradiance. Intelligent MPPT techniques, such as Fibonacci algorithm-based search MPPT, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique are more adaptable to complex operating conditions and have faster tracking speeds, but they are also more computationally complex and expensive to implement. The limitations of existing MPPT techniques include sensitivity to partial shading conditions, limited efficiency under dynamic irradiance conditions, and the requirement for accurate system parameters. To address these limitations, a novel MPPT technique should be developed that is efficient under partial shading and dynamic irradiance conditions, robust to inaccurate system parameters, and has low computational complexity and implementation cost.

A comprehensive comparison of the two MPPT techniques (P&O, SMC) for photovoltaic systems

This paper aims to study the behavior of different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques applied to PV systems. In this work, we evaluate and compare perturbation and observation (P&O) and sliding mode control (SMC) techniques. a DC/DC boost converter is used between the PV system and load to transfer the maximum possible power. the conventional MPPT methods Perturb and Observe (P&O) cannot detect and track the highest peak. Thus, this causes an important loss of power, so a technique is suggested sliding mode control, which offers many benefits such as durability against parameter changes, minimal current output distortion, and excellent reference tracking. The simulation results shown in MATLAB confirm that the sliding mode control method allows to have a faster response compared to P&O, to reduce the steady-state fluctuations and better track the maximum power point with fewer power losses.

A novel MPPT technology based on dung beetle optimization algorithm for PV systems under complex partial shade conditions.

Solar power is a renewable energy source, and its efficient development and utilization are important for achieving global carbon neutrality. However, partial shading conditions cause the output of PV systems to exhibit nonlinear and multipeak characteristics, resulting in a loss of output power. In this paper, we propose a novel Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique for PV systems based on the Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm (DBO) to maximize the output power of PV systems under various weather conditions.

The experimental validation is carried out on the HIL + RCP physical platform, which fully demonstrates the advantages of the DBO technique in terms of tracking speed and accuracy. The results show that the proposed DBO achieves 99.99% global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking efficiency, as well as a maximum improvement of 80% in convergence rate stabilization rate, and a maximum improvement of 8% in average power. A faster, more efficient and robust GMPP tracking performance is a significant contribution of the DBO controller.

Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization of a Photovoltaic System under Partial Shading

The solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is the most prevalent and popular source of energy. But the PV output characteristics are mainly depending on temperature and irradiance and are nonlinear in nature. Therefore, PV array characteristics greatly vary with change in the atmospheric condition. Under partial shading condition (PSC), PV modules will not receive the same level of incident solar irradiance throughout the system due to some obstructions such as: dust, cloudy weather, shadows of nearby objects: buildings, trees, mountains, birds etc… which causes mismatch in PV module characteristics of the PV array and losses arise in the entire PV configuration. Consequently, power extraction from the PV system is reduced and the PSC on the PV array can be minimized by the proper selection of PV configurations, physical relocation of the PV modules and maximum power point tracking techniques (MPPT) to overcome this problem. The present article studies and compares the MPPT based on the Adaptive particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm under partial and completely shaded. The perturbation and observation (P&O) method is widely due to its simplicity and easy implementation but the Intelligent and hybrid control such as: fuzzy logic control (FLC) and adaptive neural fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) can track the MPP with better efficiency but in a long time compared to conventional approaches. In addition, these methods need big data for good results and the data problem is regulated with the evolutionary algorithms and searching the duty cycle (d) in a shorter time than FLC and ANFIS. The principle of PSO, grey wolf optimization (GWO), and APSO techniques is the search for a global solution, and it have good behaviour under PSC but APSO can be classified as best solution between the studied approaches. The simulation results, which are presented in MATLAB/Simulink software, show the effectiveness of the proposed APSO technique.

Optimization of Neuro-controller Application for Maximum Power Point Tracking Photovoltaic Systems Through Shannon’s Information Criteria

Due to the extremely poor efficiency of solar energy, researchers created various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Because of their propensity to address complex problems and their non-linear characteristics, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithms are the most frequently used among these MPPT techniques. Nevertheless, the performance of the ANN-based MPP tracking algorithms is contingent upon various factors, including the choice of activation function, the quantity of hidden neurons, and the training algorithm employed. Shannon’s Information Criteria (SIC) is used to determine the optimal number of hidden neurons within a single hidden layer for the neuro-controller application. In this regard, a two-layer Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) was trained using MATLAB/Simulink software, incorporating varying numbers of hidden neurons. The results indicate that the two-layer FFNN with five hidden neurons has the highest performance, as demonstrated by the lowest Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 4.03 × 10-9, which is statistically significant. The successful incorporation of Gaussian noise in the simulation of an 85 kW PV system demonstrates that the ANN-based MPPT algorithm is both theoretically robust and practically viable and reliable for enhancing the efficiency of solar PV systems in real-world scenarios.

An efficient MPPT techniques for inter-harmonic reduction in grid connected hybrid wind and solar energy systems

In this work, the operation of photovoltaic system, wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator along with battery has been observed. Also, a searching space minimization-based artificial bee colony scheme is developed for tracking the maximum power in a doubly fed induction generator-based system. To track maximum power in solar systems, an improved adaptive reference voltage approach has been presented. Several conventional and optimization-based techniques are used by DFIG and photovoltaic systems to get around the non-linearity features in the output parameters. Regarding DFIG, the artificial bee colony method based on searching space minimization can be used to solve the shortcomings of the perturb and observe algorithm. Because of its weather-sensitive nature, it can withstand sudden changes in wind speed. The suggested searching space minimization based artificial bee colony strategy uses a mechanism for determining the range of optimal rotor speed in order to track the maximum power point more quickly. The maximum power point tracking performance of the adaptive reference voltage technique is superior to that of current perturb and observed-based systems. However, a huge processing memory is required in order to track the maximum possible power point. This paper proposes an enhanced maximum power point tracking technique based on adaptive reference voltage that does not require a memory unit. Additionally, despite sudden changes in irradiation conditions, improved adaptive reference voltage can drift-free and reliably monitor the maximum power point. The new adaptive reference voltage technique uses temperature and radiation sensors to identify the region nearest to the maximum power point. This helps the system respond more quickly. The proposed system with searching space minimization based artificial bee colony and improved adaptive reference voltage schemes displays lower inter-harmonic content in grid current compared to perturb and observe scheme. The proposed scheme has been implemented in MATLAB & simulink atmosphere and OPAL-RT displayed satisfactory results.
