Enhanced MPPT control of a two-stage grid-connected PV system under fast-changing irradiance conditions

Enhanced MPPT control of a two-stage grid-connected PV system under fast-changing irradiance conditions
In this paper, an enhanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) strategy for a two-stage gridconnected PV system is proposed, which enables accurate tracking of the maximum power point irrespective of the rate of change in solar irradiance levels. The analysis is performed both in the frequency and time domains, using a suitable linearized model of the system. A comparative assessment of the proposed MPPT strategy versus a conventional Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method is carried out for operation under trapezoidal irradiance profiles.

Abstract

In this paper, an enhanced Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) strategy for a two-stage gridconnected PV system is proposed, which enables accurate tracking of the maximum power point irrespective of the rate of change in solar irradiance levels. The analysis is performed both in the frequency and time domains, using a suitable linearized model of the system. A comparative assessment of the proposed MPPT strategy versus a conventional Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method is carried out for operation under trapezoidal irradiance profiles.
