Incremental Conductance MPPT Algorithm for PV System Implemented Using DC-DC ...IJERA Editor
The two basic topologies of switch mode DC-DC converters (Buck and Boost) are analyzed with a view of their use in PV (photovoltaic) systems, as the photovoltaic generator exhibits non-linear characteristics due to the change in environmental condition and load variation. As the efficiency of PV panels is low it becomes mandatory to extract maximum power from the PV panel at a given period of time. Several MPPT algorithms with different types of converters are being proposed for extracting maximum power from the PV panel. It is found that the nature of load plays an important role in the choice of topology. This paper investigates the implementation issues of Incremental Conductance method with Buck and Boost Converters. Mathematical analysis and desirable steady-state operating point of the converters are derived to give satisfactory maximum power point tracking operation.

Simulation of MPPT Algorithm Based Hybrid Wind-Solar-Fuel Cell Energy SystemIJMER
This paper presents a new system configuration of the front-end rectifier stage for a hybrid
wind/photovoltaic energy system. This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load
separately or simultaneously depending on the availability of the energy sources. The inherent nature of
this Cuk-SEPIC fused converter, additional input filters are not necessary to filter out high frequency
harmonics. Harmonic content is detrimental for the generator lifespan, heating issues, and efficiency.
The fused multiinput rectifier stage also allows Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to be used to
extract maximum power from the wind and sun when it is available. An adaptive MPPT algorithm will
be used for the wind system and a standard perturb and observe method will be used for the PV system.
Operational analysis of the proposed system will be discussed in this paper. Simulation results are given
to highlight the merits of the proposed circuit.
The electric power supplied by a photovoltaic power generation system depends on the solar radiation and temperature. Designing efficient PV systems heavily emphasizes to track the maximum power operating point.
This work develops a three-point weight comparison method that avoids the oscillation problem of the perturbation and observation algorithm which is often employed to track the maximum power point. Furthermore, a low cost control unit is developed, based on a single chip to adjust the output voltage of the solar cell array.

Abstract Maximum Power Point techniques (MPPT) of Photovoltaic array are used to continuously deliver highest possible power to the load when variation in solar irradiation and temperature occur. This is achieved by many algorithms such as perturbs and observer method, incremental conductance method, constant voltage method, fuzzy logic method, neural network etc. A DC/DC converter (boost, buck, Cuk) serves the purpose of transferring maximum power from the solar PV module to the load. In this project we compared perturb and observe method and incremental conductance method with DC-DC Buck converter by implementing hardware using Arduino Duemilanove as a prototype board. Key Words: MPPT, buck converter, solar voltage and current sensing, Incremental conductance method (INC), Perturb and Observe method, Matlab real time graph, and Arduino Duemilanove, Lead acid battery.
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are employed in photovoltaic (PV) systems to make full utilization of PV array output power, which have a complex relationship between ambient temperature and solar irradiation. The power-voltage characteristic of PV array operating under partial shading conditions (PSC) exhibits multiple local maximum power points (LMPP). In this paper, an advanced algorithm has been presented to track the global maximum power point (GMPP) of PV. Compared with the Perturb and Observe (P&O) techniques, the algorithm proposed the advantages of determining the location of GMPP whether partial shading is present.

In this paper, the comparative analysis of two maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms namely Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental conductance (InC) is presented for the Photo-Voltaic (PV) power generation system. The mathematical model of the PV array is developed and transformed into MATLAB/Simulink environment. This model is used throughout the paper to simulate the PV source characteristics identical to that of a 20 Wp PV panel. The MPPT algorithms generate proper duty ratio for interfacing dc-dc boost converter driving resistive load. The performances of these algorithms are evaluated at gradual and rapidly changing weather conditions where it is observed that InC method tracks the rapidly changing insolation level at a faster rate as compared to P&O. Depending upon the prevailing environmental conditions the MPPT algorithms finds a unique operating point to track the maximum available power. The algorithms find a fixed duty ratio by comparing the previous power, voltage and current thereby optimizing the power output of the panel. The main objective is to compare the tracking capability and stability of the algorithms under different environmental situations on par with other real world tests.

Dual – MPPT Control of a Photovoltaic SystemIJTET Journal
Abstract - This paper proposes an efficient solar tracker system using a dual MPPT controller. It consists of three step DC to DC converter, which has been controlled by a microcontroller based unit. MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is used in photovoltaic system to maximize the PV array output power, irrespective of temperature, irradiation conditions and electrical characteristics of the load. The first MPPT controller is a dual axis solar tracker, which ensures optimization of the conversion of solar energy into electricity by properly orienting the PV panel in accordance with the real position of the sun to track azimuth and elevation angles. The second MPPT controller controls the duty cycle of the converter using modified Incremental Conductance algorithm to enable the PV array operate at maximum operating power at all conditions. The proposed control scheme eliminates oscillations and tracks the global maximum power point (GMPP) accurately. The simulation has been accomplished in MATLAB software.

A Reliable Tool Based on the Fuzzy Logic Control Method Applying to the DC/DC...phthanh04
Solar energy performs an important role in electric energy based on renewable energy generation systems when referring to
clear energy. Systems for harvesting renewable energy frequently use DC/DC converters, especially solar photovoltaic systems. The
DC/DC boost converter has been used for converting the output voltage from the solar PV system to the required voltage rating of the
utility grid under the disturbance in the photovoltaic temperature and irradiation level. Because of that, a new maximum power point
tracking based on the fuzzy logic controller (MPPT-FLC) algorithm applying the DC/DC boost converter is developed. The proposed
approach aims toward improving the PV system's performance and tracking effectiveness. This aim can be achieved by adjusting the
DC/DC boost converter's duty cycle to ensure that the PV system operates close to its MPP under varying environmental conditions. The
effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in the off-grid PV system under conditions of the change of irradiation and temperature,
and the comparison of between the proposed method, the incremental conductance (INC), perturb and observe (P&O), and modified P&O
methods is also made. The obtained simulation results show that the MPPT capability significantly improved and achieved the highest
MPPT efficiency of 99.999% and an average efficiency of 99.98% in total when applying the proposed method.

Model and simulation of the impact of the distribution grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system feeding a variable load with its control system have been investigated in this study. Incremental Conductance (IncCond) algorithm based on maximum power point tracking (MPPT) was implemented for the PV system to extract maximum power under different weather conditions when solar irradiation varies between 250 W/m 2 and 1000 W/m 2 . The proposed system is modelled and simulated with MATLAB/Simulink tools. Under different weather conditions, the dynamic performance of the PV system is evaluated. The results obtained show the efficacy of the proposed MPPT method in response to rapid daytime weather variations. The results also show that the surplus power generated is injected into the grid when the injected power from the PV system is higher than the load demand; otherwise, the grid supplies the load.
To Study, Analysis and Implementation of Maximum Power Point Tracking using C...ijtsrd
As we know, energy generated from the solar and wind systems is not necessarily continuous and consistent. In India, the weather also varies such that in gloomy conditions there will be limited power from the PV battery, while in summer it will be at its highest. So, the weather decreases the systems effectiveness. As a result, an energy efficient approach is required to find an optimum point of action to obtain the full amount of energy under various atmospheric conditions. This paper suggested an updated turbulence and maximal power point monitoring controller for wind and solar hybrid energy systems. The controller uses the modified fixed disruption and observation system to achieve the MPP by changing the service cycle of each input module. Results are presented on a 200W wind system as well as a 400W solar wind energy system with differing irradiation strength and wind speed to illustrate the merits of the experiment.

Design and simulation of stand alone integrated renewable energy system for r...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Present day guided weapon systems, especially tactical class missiles use RF seeker, for target tracking towards terminal engagement. The seeker system including its antenna assembly will be onboard the missile. Due to the missile trajectory corrections, the seeker antenna pointing to the target may get disturbed resulting in track loss. To avoid this track loss, it becomes necessary to stabilize the antenna system in two planes. The fundamental role of stabilization loop in seeker application is to precisely follow the angular rate of the target. In order to achieve this requirement, it is essential to highly isolate the gimbaled antenna from the missile body motion due to the maneuvering of target or low frequency vibration during flight. However, the isolation ratio and stability margin of stabilization loop adopting the gimbaled platform with both low stiffness and heavy inertia are limited by mechanical characteristic such as low resonance frequency and its high magnitude. The selection of proper feedback sensors, modeling of the total system are key features of this project. In the end, the performance and the stability of designed stabilization loop are demonstrated using simulation in both frequency and time domain. The Hardware for the system is under realization by the Industry. The whole scheme is simulated in MATLAB off-line for this project.
Keywords: Missile, RF seeker, Track loss, Stabilization loop, Angular Rate Command, Bore-Sight Error, Maneuvering and Gimbaled Platform.

Hybrid Generation Power System for Domestic ApplicationsIJAPEJOURNAL
This work presents the plan and model of the control strategy for the interconnection of the hybrid energy system able to regulating this load’s voltage and controlling the energy generation with the energy options. The control strategy contains controlling the energy generated through each energy source, in a hierarchical mode using sliding/dropping mode control, while consuming consideration elements that have an impact on each electrical power source and transform the energy generated in order to suitable circumstances for lower power and domestic programs. The cross alternative energy system consists of photovoltaic cellular material, fuel cellular material and battery packs. A numerical equation in order to estimate the perfect voltage involving photovoltaic systems for virtually every solar irradiance and temperature circumstances is suggested. Simulations of a single or a lot more systems interconnected towards the load with the entire proposed control scheme, under different ecological and weight conditions, usually are introduced to indicate this efficiency with the procedure.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract
The present work illustrates the development of MATLAB simulation model to compare execution efficiency and accuracy for the
perturbation and observation, incremental conductance and hill climbing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms
applied to 70 Wp Solar Photo-voltaic(SPV) module. The widely used MPPT algorithms with reference to SPV system are
evaluated based on MATLAB developed by combining the models of established solar module with the algorithms of perturbation
and observation (P&O), incremental conductance (INC) and hill climbing (HC). The model is based on mathematical equations
and is described through an equivalent circuit including a photocurrent source, a diode, a series resistor and a shunt resistor. The
developed model allows the prediction of PV cell behavior under different physical and environmental parameters. MATLAB
coding has been done to find the maximum power output, Pm, and voltage at maximum power output, Vm, of solar module. The
system is simulated under different climate conditions and MPPT algorithms. According to the comparisons of the simulation
results, it can be observed that the photovoltaic simulation system can track the maximum power accurately using the three MPPT
algorithms discussed in this work. Incremental conductance MPPT algorithm possesses fast dynamic response and well regulated
PV output power than P&O and hill climbing algorithm.

1. INTRODUCTION
India had an installed capacity of 248.510 GW of grid power
amounting to 967 TWh energy generations (May 2014 data)
excluding the 39.375 GW Captive power. The total energy
generated in the country has been accounted at 1102.9 TWh
from all sources. [1]As per January 2012 data per capita
total consumption in India to be 778 kWh owing to network
technical losses (T and D losses) of 23.65% as compared to
world average of less than 15% (2013 data). The
government has taken initiatives to curtail T and D losses to
17.1% by 2017 and 14.1% by 2022 with reference to the
national T&D losses of 24% for the year 2011[2]. The non-
technical losses are also caused on account of illegal tapping
of lines and faulty electric metering that has contributed to
reduced payment collection. One potential initiative to
prevent loss of electrical energy can be deployment
decentralized power systems based on renewable energy as
an alternative to grid extension to remote area. This can
minimize the T & D losses along with non-technical losses
arising on account of faulty metering and theft. The electric
power acts as one of the key promoters in the overall
development of the country through its support to basic
necessities of lighting, water pumping, and comfortable
living conditions, essential health care, educational aids,
communication and transport. It also fuels productive
activities including agriculture, commerce, manufacturing,
industry, and mining. In a developing country like India
globalization and urbanization have improved the living
standards of the populace, lead to increase in domestic
energy demand. At present the gap between supply and
demand is about 10.5 percent. Most of the energy
requirement is met through conventional thermal, hydel
power plants, but their multistage conversion process leads
to lower conversion efficiency and also higher transmission
and distribution losses (about 24 percent). [3]. Further
addition of traditional energy sectors increases transmission
and distribution losses and pollution level in the
environment, and also requires high voltage transmission
systems and low voltage distribution systems. Establishment
of such systems demands huge amount of money and other
infrastructures. Hence it is necessary to find localized, green
and sustainable energy source to reduce the apprehension of
energy sectors. SPV seems to be a better choice compared to
various decentralized alternatives like wind, biomass and
fuel cell. SPV system directly converts solar radiation into
electric energy and it is clean, reliable and compatible with
any geographical conditions, and modular in nature. The
power output of the SPV system diurnal and varies with
change in climatic conditions; hence it is difficult to supply
continuous power to the loads. For this reason it requires
storage systems (battery) and charge controllers. MPPT
controller is one such type charge controller operating
between SPV system and battery/ loads. It always matches
the operating parameters of battery/ loads with maximum
operating conditions of the SPV systems. Several

MPPT controller. The prominent among these are voltage

linear approximation method, incremental conductance
method, hill climbing method, actual measurement method,
fuzzy control method.

generalized structure to be used as a PV power generator
along with wind, fuel cells and small hydro system by
establishing proper interfacing and controllers. [4]

3. METHODS OF MPPT
This section illustrates basic operation for P&O,
incremental conductance and hill climbing methods.
Basically, three MPPT algorithms discussed in this work
have to achieve the condition (dP/dV = 0) to find the
maximum power point of PV modules.
3.1 Perturbation and Observation Method
P&O method is the most frequently used MMPT algorithm
due to its simple structure and fewer required parameters. In
a fixed period of time, the load of the PV system is adjusted
in order to change the terminal voltage and output power of
the PV modules. If perturbation in this time results in greater
output power of PV modules than that before variation,
output voltage of PV modules will be varied toward same
direction. It can be observed that regardless of the
magnitude of sun insolation and terminal voltage of PV
modules, the MPP is obtained while the condition dP/dV = 0
is accomplished. The slope (dP/dV) of the power can be
calculated by the consecutive output voltages and output
currents, and can be expressed as follows,

)1()(

Where P(n) = V(n) I(n)
The maximum output power point of a PV system can be
obtained by using these iterative perturbation, observation
and comparison steps.
3.2 Incremental Conductance Method
The theory of the incremental conductance method is to
determine the variation direction of the terminal voltage for
PV modules by measuring and comparing the incremental
conductance and instantaneous conductance of PV modules.
The output power: increases linearly with the terminal
voltage of PV modules (dP/dV > 0), output power decreases
linearly with the increase in terminal voltage (dP/dV < 0)
and operating point is at MPP (dP/dV = 0).

By the relationship of dP/dV=0, (2) can be rearranged as
follows,

(3)
It can be observed that the weather conditions don’t change
and the operating point is located on the maximum power
point when dV = 0 and dI = 0. If dV = 0 but dI > 0, it
represents that the sun irradiance increases and the voltage
of the maximum power point rises. On the contrary, the sun
irradiance decreases and the voltage of the maximum power
point reduces if dI < 0. At this time the maximum power
point tracker needs to reduce the operating voltage of PV
modules.
3.3 Hill Climbing Method
The basic operating theory of the hill climbing method is
similar to that of the P&O method. Both methods use the
condition that P (n) is greater than P (n-1) or not to make the
judgment. As described in previous sections, the P&O
method uses the condition dP/dV to determine whether the
maximum power point has been found or not. However, the
hill climbing method uses the condition dP/dD to judge. In
most applications, DC-DC converters and DC-AC inverters
are usually used as the power interface devices between PV
modules and loads. The hill climbing method uses the duty
cycle (D) of these switching mode power interface devices
as the judging parameter when the task of the maximum
power point tracking is implemented. When the condition
dP/dD = 0 is accomplished, it represents that the maximum
power point has been tracked. The duty cycle in every
sampling period is determined by the comparison of the
power at present time and previous time. If the incremental
power dP > 0, the duty cycle should be increased in order to
make dD > 0. If dP < 0, the duty cycle is then reduced to
make dD < 0.

The V-I, P-V and P-I characteristics of PV module with
MPPT and without MPPT have been discussed in this
section for different MPPT methods that include P&O,
Incremental Conductance and Hill climbing. The MATLAB
results for 70Wp PV module as indicated in figures 1, 2 and
3 clearly reveals maximum magnitudes of operating current,
voltage and power was obtained for Incremental
conductance method.

Fig -9: P-I Characteristics (P3 higher Operating temperature)
The Figs 4, 5 & 6 shows the V-I, P-V and P-I characteristics
curves of PV module with reduced insolation level. It is very
clear that current generated increases with increasing solar
irradiance and maximum output power also increases. On
the other hand voltage is staying almost constant and it is
not varying much. We observe from Figs. 4, 5 and 6 that
with decrease of solar insolation, the short-circuit current of
the PV module decreases, and the maximum power output
decreases as well. The reason is the open-circuit voltage is
logarithmically dependent on the solar radiation, yet the
short-circuit current is directly proportional to the solar
radiation. Figs 7, 8 & 9 shows the V-I, P-V and P-I
characteristics curves of PV module with different cell
temperature. The output current and power of PV cell
depend on the cell’s terminal operating voltage and
temperature, and solar insolation as well. We find from Figs.
7, 8 and 9 that with increase of working temperature, the
short-circuit current of the PV cell increases, whereas the
maximum power output decreases. As the increase in the
output current is much less than the decrease in the voltage,
the net power decreases at high temperatures.

Table 2 shows the output power of solar PV module where
P1 represents the output power at insolation 1000 W/m2
and
temperature 25 o
C. P2 represents the output power at
insolation 600 W/m2
and temperature 25 o
C. P3 represents
the output power at insolation 1000 W/m2
and temperature
40 o
C. From above all the readings and plots we observe that
Incremental Conductance is the best method for obtaining
maximum power.
5. CONCLUSIONS
The work presents comparison between three different
MPPT strategies summarized as,
The PV simulation set up under
MATLAB/Simulink environment has been
established by the electrical specifications of the
PV module SPI-SUN SIMULATOR 4600SLP.
The simulation results for operating characteristics
V-I, P-V and P-I for various cell temperature and
solar insolation closely matched manufacturer data
sheet of solar panel.
The simple model allows a quick way to predict PV
module behavior and tracking powers of all three
MPPT algorithms are close to the corresponding
maximum power.
The algorithms discussed in this work show
considerable superior accuracy and can be
concluded that PV module output power for
Incremental Conductance method is comparatively
larger than P&O and Hill Climbing method for
different conditions.
The incremental conductance method has
advantages of extracting more power compared to
perturbation & observation method and hill
climbing method and is hence more competitive
than the other two methods in the PV system.
