Dynamic behavior of solar energy resource entails the need of robust controllers that can converge to the maximum power point (MPP) to maximize energy harvest. This paper explores an improved Perturb and Observe (P&O) technique that combines a fixed step model predictive controller (MPC), to speed up the control loop, applied to a boost converter. The proposed MPC Maximum Power Point Tracking...
Wind and Solar power are the most promising and rapidly developing renewable energy technologies that exist in our world today. They are also termed variable energy resources since their natural resources, wind speed and solar irradiance, are intermittent in nature. This variability is a critical factor when estimating the annual energy of wind and solar sources. Capital and operational costs associated...
This paper presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method using model predictive technique for a grid-tied photovoltaic harvesting energy system. A single-stage grid-tied Z-source inverter is used for extracting the maximum available power and feeding the power to the grid. The proposed technique predicts the future behavior of the photovoltaic side voltage and current by using a digital observer...
