Development and utilization of wind energy has become an important part of world sustainable energy development strategy. A control method realizing maximum power point tracking of wind turbine through adjusting the load characteristics was proposed in this article. The power management system based on DC/DC convertors was designed. The maximum power point tracker (MPPT) extracts maximum power ...

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a technique that grid tie inverters, solar battery chargers and similar devices use to get the maximum possible power from one or more solar panels. In this paper the simulation result of the P&O algorithm and the conventional maximum power point tracking technique compared with Intelligent Control (fuzzy logic controller-FLC). In fact the target of this m...

using photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). second, the power produced b...

‎ In this paper, the stand-alone photovoltaic system for cathodic protection of underground pipelines is presented. The proposed system offers continuous and automatic adjustment of the applied voltage so that the buried pipelines receive the exact current. A modified perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used to improve dynamic and steady state performa...

Among all the renewable resources, wind and solar are the most popular resources due to its ease of availability and its ease conversion into electricity. Each renewable resource uses DC/DC boost converter separately with MPPT control to generate power. To increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) system and wind energy system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology is employed. ...
