This paper proposes modeling and simulation of photovoltaic model. Taking in to account the temperature and sun’s irradiance, the PV array is modeled and its voltage current characteristics and the power and voltage characteristics are simulated. This enables the dynamics of PV system to be easily simulated and optimized. It is noticed that the output characteristics of a PV array are influence...

Photovolatic systems normally use a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique to continuously deliver the highest possible power to the load when variations in the insolation and temperature occur. It overcomes the problem of mismatch between the solar arrays and the given load. A simple method of tracking the maximum power points (MPP’s) and forcing the system to operate close to these poi...

In this paper, a double-linear approximation algorithm (DLAA) to achieve maximum-power-point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) arrays is proposed. The DLAA is based on the approximation that the maximum power point varies linearly with irradiation and temperature. With the DLAA, a maximum power point can be determined instantaneously. Moreover, complicated calculations and perturbations abo...

This paper deals with the analysis, design and control of a small power standalone solar photovoltaic (SPV) generating system. A PV array of 33V-43.2V is taken as an input and its output voltage is achieved as 360V dc using a flyback converter. The battery is charged at this voltage and using a single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) it is converted into a single phase ac of 220Vac, 50 Hz. A...

Photovoltaic generation is the technique which uses photovoltaic cell to convert solar energy to electric energy. Nowadays, PV generation is developing increasingly fast as a renewable energy source. However, the disadvantage is that PV generation is intermittent because it depends considerably on weather conditions. This paper proposes an intelligent control method for the maximum power point ...
