Received Sep 15, 2017 Revised Nov 14, 2017 Accepted Nov 23, 2017 In this paper, a straightforward strategy for tracking the maximum power (MP) accessible in the wind energy conversion system for dc microgrid is proposed. A three-phase diode bridge rectifier alongside a dc-dc converter has been utilized between the terminals of wind-driven induction generator and dc microgrid. Induction generato...

-The output power of a wind energy conversion system (WECS) is maximized if the wind rotor is driven at an optimal rotational speed for a particular wind speed. To achieve this, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller is usually used. A successful implementation of the MPPT controller requires knowledge of the turbine dynamics and instantaneous measurements of the wind speed and rotor ...

The present work investigates a real time implementation of a photovoltaic grid connected chain, based on fuzzy logic MPPT controller (FLC). The implementation is realized on a dSPACE 1104 single board, controlling a boost chopper in the PV array side and a VSI inverter in the grid side. The FLC tracks permanently the maximum power point of the PV array without any prior information on the syst...

The use of the combination of photovoltaic energy source and the wind energy source as a hybrid configuration has become an alternative solution to produce power energy to fed industrial and domestic applications. In order to fully exploit the energy provided by both sources and ensure a very high efficiency it is necessary to oblige the hybrid power system to produce the maximum possible power...

To convert solar energy more viable, the efficiency of solar array systems should be maximized. An easier approach to maximizing the efficiency of solar array systems is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). MPPT is used in photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize the output power of photovoltaic array, irrespective of the irradiation and temperature conditions. Many conventional MPPT fails to atta...

In order to make full utilization of photovoltaic (PV) array output power, which depends on solar irradiation and ambient temperature, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are employed. Among all the MPPT strategies, the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm is more attractive due to its simple control structure. Nevertheless, steady-state oscillations always appear due to the perturbat...

In the context of grid connected photovoitaic (PV) generation systems, there are two paramount aspects regarding the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of the photovoltaic units and the continuity of the service. The most diffused MPPT algorithms are based on either perturb and observe, or on an incremental conductance approach and need both PV current and voltage measurements. Several topolog...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electrification is an important renewable energy source. The electric which is converted directly from solar irradiation via PV panel is not steady due to different solar intensity. To maximize the PV panel output power, perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been implemented into PV system. Through a buck-boost DC-DC converter, MPPT is able to...

A bunch of factors including the limited fossil resources and rising of fossil fuel price have been causes moving to create the new structure that is based on providing energy security, and protect the environment. One of the alternatives is the fuel cell (FC). Maximum power point tracker has an important role to increase the efficiency of the FC systems. One of the difficulties in maximum powe...
