and host g.2012.12 Abstract In the recent years, the solar energy becomes one of the most important alternative sources of electric energy, so it is important to improve the efficiency and reliability of the photovoltaic (PV) systems. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays an important role in photovoltaic power systems because it maximize the power output from a PV system for a given set of...

A new development of Dual-MPPT algorithm for single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic generation systems under variation of irradiance is presented in this research. This method is extract the maximum available power from PV module by making them operates at the most efficient output and fastest transient response. In order to accelerate the tracking speed, an incremental conductance based inte...

This paper presents an improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for PV systems. An Artificial Neural Network and the classical P&O algorithm were employed to achieve this objective. MATLAB models for a neural network, PV module, and the classical P&O algorithm are developed. However, the developed MPPT uses the ANN to predict the optimum voltage of the PV system in order to extra...

Abstract: This paper develops a robust regulator design approach to maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a variable-speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) under the concept of perturbation and observation. The proposed perturb and observe regulators (PORs) rooted on the sliding mode method employs the optimal power curve (OPC) to realize MPPT operations by continuously adjusting rotor spe...

in this paper the maximum power point tracking (mppt) algorithms for wind energy systems arereviewed. as the amounts of power produced in wind power plants is changing due to theinstantaneous changing nature of the wind, it is desirable to determine the one optimal generatorspeed that ensures maximum energy yield. thus, it is important to include a controller that cantrack the maximum peak rega...

in recent year's renewable energy sources have become a useful alternative for the power generation. the power of photovoltaic is nonlinear function of its voltage and current. it is necessary to maintain the operation point of photovoltaic in order to get the maximum power point (mpp) in various solar intensity. fuzzy logic controller has advantage in handling non-linear system. maximum power ...

This paper deals with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS) integrated with grid with two back to back connected converters with a common DC link. The aim of this research is to model control of direct driven 1.5 MW wind turbine permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) which feeds alternating current (AC) power to the utility grid .The m...
