Development of a Novel Robust Differential Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT...IJSRP Journal
The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasingly growing in importance since they involve an exploitation of solar radiation constituting an energy source which is renewable, available in most places, and pollution-free. Despite their numerous advantages, PV systems have two major drawbacks: low energy conversion efficiency and loss of energy due to variations in meteorological conditions; for this reason, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a key role in exploiting the maximum energy caught by PV modules. The output characteristic of a photovoltaic array is nonlinear and changes with solar irradiation and the cell’s temperature. Therefore, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to draw peak power from the solar array to maximize the produced energy. In this study we have analyzed the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method and finding out a new and easier way to track maximum power point (MPP) and also our study is focused to overcome the drawbacks of MPPT. This research paper presents a novel MPP tracking method for tracking exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) if the irradiation or load changes.
The real problems in diminution of power quality occurs due to the rapid growth of nonlinear load are leads to sudden decrease of source voltage for a few seconds i.e sag, swell, harmonics in source and load current, voltage unbalance etc. All these problems can be compensated by using Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) and the operation of UPQC depends upon the available voltage across capacitor present in dc link. If the capacitor voltage is maintained constant then it gives satisfactory performance. The proposed research is basically on designing of Photo Voltaic (PV) /Wind energy fed to the dc link capacitor of UPQC so as to maintain proper voltage across it and operate the UPQC for power quality analysis. The said model is simulated in Matlab and results are verified by using FFT analysis.The proposed PV/ Wind energy-UPQC is design in Matlab simulation for reduction of voltage sag, swell, interruption of voltage, harmonics in load current and compensation of active and reactive power.

Filter Based Solar Power Generation System with a Seven Level InverterIJMTST Journal
This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a DC/DC power converter and a new seven-level inverter. The DC/DC power converter integrates a DC-DC boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with multiple relationships. This new seven-level inverter is configured using a capacitor selection circuit and a full-bridge power converter, connected in cascade. The capacitor selection circuit converts the two output voltage sources of DC-DC power converter into a three-level DC voltage and the full- bridge power converter further converts this three- level DC voltage into a seven-level AC voltage. In this way, the proposed solar power generation system generates a sinusoidal output current that is in phase with the utility voltage and is fed into the utility. The salient features of the proposed seven-level inverter are that only six power electronic switches are used and only one power electronic switch is switched at high frequency at any time. A prototype is developed and tested to verify the performance of this proposed solar power generation system.
The purpose of this article is to extract the maximum power point at which the photovoltaic system can operate optimally. The system considered is simulated under different irradiations (between 200 W/m2 and 1000 W/m2), it mainly includes the established models of solar PV and MPPT module, a DC/DC boost converter and a DC/AC converter. The most common MPPT techniques that will be studied are: "Perturbation and Observation" (P&O) method, "Incremental Conductance" (INC) method, and "Fuzzy Logic" (FL) control. Simulation results obtained using MATLAB/Simulink are analyzed and compared to evaluate the performance of each of the three techniques.

Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. The efficiency of solar PV is very low. In order to increase the efficiency, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques are to be undertaken to match the source and load property. These techniques are employed in PV systems to make full utilization of PV array output power. Recently, many MPPT algorithms of PV system have been proposed which depends on solar irradiation and temperature, but perturb and observe (P&O) and Incremental conductance algorithms are basic and most widely used. This project firstly introduces a Mat lab Simulink of photovoltaic array. To achieve the maximum power point tracking the Incremental Conductance method and perturb and observed (P&O) method are used. These two algorithms are employed with PV model along with converter in Mat lab Simulink. Three different converter boost, buck boost and cuk converter are design according to requirement and used.

energy. A single cell of photovoltaic has still very low output so it is necessary to improve the performance
and reduce the cost. The model of photovoltaic presented in this paper can be used to visualize its output
characteristics which are I-V characteristics and P-V characteristics under different irradiation level and
temperature. In this paper MPPT- Maximum power point tracking is a method in which changing the ratio

cycle of DC-DC boost converter and observe the change in PV output. Used algorithm is to track MPPs because
it performance very small control under rapid changes. This is experimentally verified by modelling the PV

demonstrate important challenges for researchers in the PV panel topic. To
overcome these problems, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
controller is needed which can improve the PV panel efficiency. In other
words, for maximum efficiency, the MPPT controller can help to extract the
optimal and overall available output power from the PV panel at different
output load conditions. Fuzzy logic (FL) is one of the strongest techniques in
the extracting of MPP in the PV panel since it has several advantages; robust;
no requirement to have an accurate mathematical model, and works with
imprecise inputs. Therefore, in this paper, fuzzy logic (FL-MPPT) has been
designed and simulated to improve dynamic performance PV panel at
different solar irradiance and then increased the efficiency. Therefore,
"MATLAB/Simulink software" has been used to build the proposed
algorithm and the simulation results have been adequate as well. Besides, a
robust FL-MPPT algorithm has been presented with high dynamic
performance under different weather conditions. Finally, the proposed
algorithm has a quicker response and less oscillatory comparison of the
conventional algorithms in the subject of extracting the maximum PV power.
Modeling Simulation and Design of Photovoltaic Array with MPPT Control Techni...IJAPEJOURNAL
The Renewable energy is important part of power generation system due to diminution of fossils fuel. Energy production from photovoltaic (PV) is widely accepted as it is clean, available in abundance, & free of cost. This paper deals with modeling of PV array including the effects of temperature and irradiation. The DC-DC converter is used for boosting low voltage of the PV array to high DC voltage. Since the efficiency of a PV array is around 13% which is low, it is desirable to operate the module at the peak power point to improve the utilization of the PV array. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is used for extracting the maximum power from the solar PV array and transferring that power to the load. To track maximum power point (MPP) Perturb & Observe (P & O) algorithm is used which periodically perturbs the array voltage or current and compare PV output power with that of previous perturbation cycle which controls duty cycle of DC-DC converter. The entire system is simulated in MATLAB /SIMULINK and simulation results are presented.

Inter-Area Oscillation Damping using an STATCOM Based Hybrid Shunt Compensati...IJPEDS-IAES
FACTS devices are one of the latest technologies which have been used to
improve power system dynamic and stability during recent years. However,
widespread adoption of this technology has been hampered by high cost
and reliability concerns. In this paper an economical phase imbalanced shunt
reactive compensation concept has been introduced and its ability for power
system dynamic enhancement and inter-area oscillation damping are
investigated. A hybrid phase imbalanced scheme is a shunt capacitive
compensation scheme, where two phases are compensated by fixed shunt
capacitor (C) and the third phase is compensated by a Static Synchronous
Compensator (STATCOM) in shunt with a fixed capacitor (CC). The power
system dynamic stability enhancement would be achieved by adding
a conventional Wide Area Damping Controller (WADC) to the main control
loop of the single phase STATCOM. Two different control methodologies
are proposed: a non-optimized conventional damping controller
and a conventional damping controller with optomised parameters that are
added to the main control loop of the unbalanced compensator in order to
damp the inter area oscillations. The proposed arrangement would, certainly,
be economically attractive when compared with a full three-phase
STATCOM. The proposed scheme is prosperously applied in a 13-bus
six-machine test system and various case studies are conducted to
demonstrate its ability in damping inter-area oscillations and power system
dynamic enhancement.

In this article, we have set up a vector control law of induction machine
where we tried different type of speed controllers. Our control strategy is of
type Field Orientated Control (FOC). In this structure we designed a Fuzzy
Gain-Scheduling Proportional–Integral (Pi) controller to obtain best result
regarding the speed of induction machine. At the beginning we designed a Pi
controller with fixed parameters. We came up to these parameters by
identifying the transfer function of this controller to that of Broïda (second
order transfer function). Then we designed a fuzzy logic (FL) controller.
Based on simulation results, we highlight the performances of each
controller. To improve the speed behaviour of the induction machine, we
have designend a controller called “Fuzzy Gain-Scheduling Proportional–
Integral controller” (FGS-PI controller) which inherited the pros of the
aforementioned controllers. The simulation result of this controller will
strengthen its performances.
Advance Technology in Application of Four Leg Inverters to UPQCIJPEDS-IAES
This article presents a novel application of four leg inverter with
conventional Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) Scheme to
Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). The Power Quality problem
became burning issues since the starting of high voltage AC transmission
system. Hence, in this article it has been discussed to mitigate the PQ issues
in high voltage AC systems through a three phase Unified Power Quality
Conditioner (UPQC) under various conditions, such as harmonic mitigation
scheme, non linear loads, sag and swell conditions as well. Also, it proposes
to control harmoincs with various artificial intelligent techniques. Thus

Modified SVPWM Algorithm for 3-Level Inverter Fed DTC Induction Motor DriveIJPEDS-IAES
In this paper, a modified space vector pulse width modulation (MSVPWM)
algorithm is developed for 3-level inverter fed direct torque controlled
induction motor drive (DTC-IMD). MSVPWM algorithm simplifies
conventional space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm for
multilevel inverter (MLI), whose complexity lies in sector/subsector/subsubsector
identification; which will commensurate with number of levels. In
the proposed algorithm sectors are identified as in two level inverter
and subsectors/sub-subsectors are identified by shifting the original reference
vector to sector 1 (S1). This is valid due to the fact that a three level space
vector plane is a composition of six two level space planes, and are
symmetrical with reference to six pivot states. Switching state/sequence
selection is also very important while dealing with SVPWM strategy for
MLI. In the proposed algorithm out of 27 available switching states apt
switching state is selected based on sector and subsector number, such that
voltage ripple is considerably less. To validate the proposed algorithm, it is
tested on a three level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter fed DTC-IMD.
The performance of the MSVPWM algorithm is analyzed by comparing no
load stator current ripple of the three level DTC-IMD with two level
DTC-IMD. Significant reduction in steady state torque and flux ripple is
observed. Hence, reduced acoustic noise is a distinctive facet of the proposed
method.

Performance Characteristics of Induction Motor with FielIJPEDS-IAES
With development of power electronics and control Theories, the AC motor

best methods to control the drive systems. This paper is compared between
the field oriented control and direct torque control to show the advantages
and disadvantages of these methods of controls. This study discussed the

A Novel Modified Turn-on Angle Control Scheme for Torque- Ripple Reduction in...IJPEDS-IAES
In recent years, Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM) have been dramatically
considered with both researchers and industries. SRMs not only have a
simple and reliable structure, but also have low cost production process.
However, discrete torque production of SRM along with intensive magnetic
saturation in stator and rotor cores are the major drawbacks of utilizing in
variety of industrial applications and also causes the inappropriate torque
ripples. In this paper, a modified logical-rule-based Torque Sharing Function
(TSF) method is proposed considering turn-on angle control. The optimized
turn-on angle for conducting each phase is achieved by estimating the
inductance curve in the vicinity of unaligned position and based on an
analytical solution for each phase voltage equation. Simulation results on a
four-phase switched reluctance motor and comparison with the conventional
methods validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element AnalysisIJPEDS-IAES
This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction
motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which
contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine.
Each of these components is simulated in different software environments.
So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM
which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform
environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on
Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is
developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLABSimulink
environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design
and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is
exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of
different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first
is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is
the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the
performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions,
a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze
the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been
performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed
verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform.
Comparative Performance Study for Closed Loop Operation of an Adjustable Spee...IJPEDS-IAES
In this paper an extensive comparative study is carried out between PI
and PID controlled closed loop model of an adjustable speed Permanent
Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive. The incorporation of Sinusoidal
Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) strategy establishes near sinusoidal
armature phase currents and comparatively less torque ripples without
sacrificing torque/weight ratio. In this closed loop model of PMSM drive, the
information about reference speed is provided to a speed controller, to ensure
that actual drive speed tracks the reference speed with ideally zero steady
state speed error. The entire model of PMSM closed loop drive is divided
into two loops, inner loop current and outer loop speed. By taking the
different combinations of two classical controllers (PI & PID) related with
two loop control structure, different approximations are carried out. Hence a
typical comparative study is introduced to familiar with the different
performance indices of the system corresponding to time domain and
frequency domain specifications. Therefore overall performance of closed
loop PMSM drive is tested and effectiveness of controllers will be
determined for different combinations.

has ability to control the output frequency with flexible setting of lower limit
to less than 1 Hz and to higher frequency limits to 55 Hz. Moreover, the
proposed controller able to control the value of load voltage to frequency
ratio, which plays a major parameter in the function of IM speed control.
Furthermore, the designed system is characterized by easy manufacturing
and maintenance, high speed response, low cost, and does not need to
program steps as compared to other systems based on Microcontroller
and digital signal processor (DSP) units. The complete proposed electronic
design is made by the software of NI Multisim version 11.0 and all the
internal sub-designs are shown in this paper. Simulation results show the

Sensorless Control of a Fault Tolerant PMSM Drives in Case of Single-Phase Op...IJPEDS-IAES
This paper introduces a sensorless-speed-controlled PMSM motor fed by a
four-leg inverter in case of a single phase open circuit fault regardless in
which phase is the fault. To minimize the system performance degradation
due to a single phase open circuit fault, a fault tolerant control strategy that
includes taking appropriate actions to control the two remaining healthy
currents is used in addition to use the fourth leg of the inverter. Tracking the
saliency is done through measuring the dynamic current responses of the
healthy phases of the PMSM motor due the IGBT switching actions using the
fundamental PWM method without introducing any modification to the
operation of the fourth leg of the inverter. Simulation results are provided to
verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for sensorless controlling of
a PMSM motor driven by a fault-tolerant four-phase inverter over a wide
speed ranges under the case of a single phase open circuit.
Improved Stator Flux Estimation for Direct Torque Control of Induction Motor ...IJPEDS-IAES
Stator flux estimation using voltage model is basically the integration of the
induced stator back electromotive force (emf) signal. In practical
implementation the pure integration is replaced by a low pass filter to avoid
the DC drift and saturation problems at the integrator output because of the
initial condition error and the inevitable DC components in the back emf
signal. However, the low pass filter introduces errors in the estimated stator
flux which are significant at frequencies near or lower than the cutoff
frequency. Also the DC components in the back emf signal are amplified at
the low pass filter output by a factor equals to . Therefore, different
integration algorithms have been proposed to improve the stator flux
estimation at steady state and transient conditions. In this paper a new
algorithm for stator flux estimation is proposed for direct torque control
(DTC) of induction motor drives. The proposed algorithm is composed of a
second order high pass filter and an integrator which can effectively
eliminates the effect of the error initial condition and the DC components.
The amplitude and phase errors compensation algorithm is selected such that
the steady state frequency response amplitude and phase angle are equivalent
to that of the pure integrator and the multiplication and division by stator
frequency are avoided. Also the cutoff frequency selection is improved; even
small value can filter out the DC components in the back emf signal. The
simulation results show the improved performance of the induction motor
direct torque control drive with the proposed stator flux estimation algorithm.
The simulation results are verified by the experimental results.
Minimization of Starting Energy Loss of Three Phase Induction Motors Based on...IJPEDS-IAES
The purpose of this paper is to minimize energy losses consumed by three
phase induction motors during starting with wide range of load torque from
no load to full load. This will limit the temperature rise and allows for more
numbers of starting during a definite time. Starting energy losses
minimization is achieved by controlling the rate of increasing voltage
and frequency to start induction motor under certain load torque within a
definite starting time. Optimal voltage and frequency are obtained by particle
swarm optimization (PSO) tool according to load torque. Then, outputs of the
PSO are used to design a neuro-fuzzy controller to control the output voltage
and frequency of the inverter during starting for each load torque. The
starting characteristics using proposed method are compared to that of direct
on line and V/F methods. A complete model of the system is developed using
SIMULINK/MATLAB.

The proposed control strategy is experimented on a locally manufactured EV prototype. The results show that the EV prototype can be propelled to speed up to 60km/h under different road conditions.

Real Time Implementation of Variable Step Size Based P&O MPPT for PV Systems … (K. Muthukumar)
910
1. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy sources like photovoltaic and wind generators are widely used. Photovoltaic
systems produce DC electricity. Photovoltaic generation is becoming increasingly important in a renewable
source since it offers many advantages such as no fuel cost, not being polluting and emitting no noise.
Photovoltaic’s sources are used today in many applications such as battery charging, home power supply,
water pumping and satellite power systems etc. The internal characteristics of PV cell are highly non – linear
because of the fast varying sunshine and atmospheric conditions. Therefore to achieve maximum possible
power from PV source irrespective of the temperature and insolation off line and on – line MPPT techniques
can be used. PV modules still have relative low conversion efficiency as it is sensitive to weather conditions
like solar irradiation and temperature [14]. An off line voltage and current based techniques is not suitable for
fast varying atmospheric condition [3]. In the online P&O and INC algorithm based on the fixed step size
the disadvantages is the power drawn from pv array with a larger step size contributes to faster dynamic but
excessive steady state oscillations whenever a smaller step size is required and steady state output cannot be
reached. [9]. The advantages of (P&O) method are easy to implement, control scheme is simple, and the cost
is less compare to other techniques [7]. To extract the maximum possible power from the PV module a
modified P&O algorithm have been developed which breaks the limitations in the sensitivity of the tracker
consisting of a buck – type DC-DC converter and can be controlled by a dSPACE unit. The modified P&O
algorithm adjust the step size of the voltage to achieve maximum power point is carried out using
MATLAB/SIMULINK and dSPACE environment. This method periodically perturbs the array terminal
voltage / current and compares the PV output power with that of the previous perturbed power. To increase
the PV power the MPPT moves the operating point in such a way to change the PV array voltage otherwise
viceversa.
2. MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A PV MODULE
Electrical model of PV module is developed based on the shockly diode equation. Solar cells consist
of a P-N junction fabricated in a thin wafer. In the dark the I-V characteristics is similar to the diode and
when exposed to light photons with energy more than the band gap energy of the semiconductor are absorbed
and create an electron-hole pair. Under the influence of internal fields of the P-N junction the carriers are
swept apart and creates a current proportional to radiation. When open circuited this current is shunted
internally by the intrinsic P-N junction diode. Thus the simplest equivalent circuit of a PV cell is a current
source in parallel with a diode as shown in Figure 1. Output of the current source is directly proportional to
the light falling on the cell. The characteristics equation for this PV array is given by [11]

connected in series configuration on a module to produce enough high power is represented in equation 9
where I and V are cell’s output current and voltage. The Rs and Rsh are calculated [10] by iteration method.

DC-DC converters are used as switching mode regulators to convert an unregulated dc voltage to a
regulated dc output voltage. The regulation is normally achieved by a PWM at a fixed frequency and the

switching device used is a MOSFET. DC-DC converter is a high speed on/off semiconductor switch. It
connects source to load and disconnects the load from source at a fast speed. A step-down converter produces
an average output voltage, which is lower than the DC input voltage Vin. The basic circuit of a step-down
converter is shown in Figure 3. In continuous-conduction mode of operation, assuming an MOSFET switch,
when the switch is on for the time duration ton the inductor current passes through the switch, and the diode
becomes reverse biased. This results in a positive voltage across the inductor, which, in turn, causes a linear
increase in the inductor current il. When the switch is turned off, because of the inductive energy storage, il
continues to flow. This current flows through the diode and decreases. Average output voltage can be
calculated in terms of the switch duty ratio as

To design the buck converters parameters based on [13] the buck converter parameters values as
shown in Table 2. The state space model of the buck converter can be derived and then to determine of the
controller that will meet the transient and steady state specifications of the closed loop system. The process of
adjusting the controller parameters [12] in order to meet given performance specifications is known as
controller tuning. The most common Ziegler Nichols tuning method is used for tuning PI controller based on
step response to find the Kp and Ti values.

4. MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING
When a solar module is used in a system, its operating point is decided by the load to which is
connected. The efficiency of PV system can be improved if the PV module is operated at maximum power
point irrespective of varying atmospheric conditions. The MPPT mechanism is based on the principle of
impedance matching between load and PV module, which is necessary for maximum power transfer. The
impedance matching is done by using a DC to DC converter. The impedance is matched by changing the
duty cycle of the switch. There are many MPPT techniques available [5]. Among which the perturb and
observe and incremental conductance algorithm are the online MPPT techniques. It is suitable for fast
varying irradiation and temperature. The perturb and observe are simple and easy to implement compared
with incremental conductance algorithm. Fuzzy logic and neural network are artificial intelligent methods it
is experts based systems. The perturb and observe can be divided into two methods voltage reference and
direct duty ratio method [6]. In this paper the block diagram of proposed variable step size P & O direct duty
ratio method is shown in Figure 4. The principle of the P&O algorithm is to increase or decrease the voltage
by adjusting the duty cycle. In the flow chart if dp/dv >0 the duty cycle is decreased and if dp/dv <0 then the
duty cycle is reversed shown in Figure 5. Thus increase and decrease of the duty cycle is based on the step
size ΔD. If the perturbation fixed step size ΔD chosen is small the system convergence speed towards the
MPP is slow and hence desired level of duty cycle is not achieved. If the ΔD is made high the system
oscillates around the MPP. To overcome this problem and also to increase the efficiency a PI control loop is

developed to adjust the perturbation step size. This proposed variable perturbation step P&O algorithm is
suggested in this paper. The proposed method achieves reduced oscillation around the MPP and stable

5. dSPACE BASED IMPLEMENTATION OF MPPT
The dSPACE DS1102 was first used at Bradley University in the year 2000 when a users manual
and a workstation based on this board were developed. Since then, a newer dSpace DS1103 board has
become available. The proposed variable perturbation step P&O controller is designed and simulated using
the SIMULINK and the dSPACE blocksets, the Matlab-to-DSP interface libraries, Real-Time Interface to
SIMULINK, and Real-Time Workshop on a PC. Inputs to and outputs from the DS1103 pass through the
CLP1103 connector panel for the DS1103 board. The control system has been developed using
MATLAB/Simulink and then automatically processed and run in the DS1103 PPC card.A Graphical User
Interface (GUI) has been built using the software control desk of dSPACE. It allows the real-time evaluation
of the control system. “control desk” serves multiple uses. It provides the interface for downloading
controller models designed in SIMULINK onto the DSP. The instrument panel feature of control desk is used

to display various measurements such as the duty cycle of the PWM signal, voltage, current, error and the
controller output signals must be sent through the “CLP1103” and “DS1103” before the measurements can
be displayed in control desk on the computer.The “CLP1103” serves as an interface between the “DS1103”
and the external hardware portion of the overall system. The CLP1103 contains connectors for 20 Analog-to-
Digital inputs, 8 Digital-to-Analog outputs, several other connectors that can be used for Digital I/O,
slave/DSP I/O, incremental encoder interfaces, CAN interface and serial interfaces. Output from the DS1103
includes the PWM signal for the gate of MOSFET of buck DC-DC converter.

7. CONCLUSION
This paper presents the satisfactory performances of the proposed variable step size based perturb
and observe algorithm for the photovoltaic system. Generally the fixed step sizes perturb and observe MPPT
algorithm is widely used. The selection of step size by the trial and error method for the conventional P&O
MPPT algorithm is cumbersome.The changes in step size gives great impact on the increases or decreases of
the output power, is a disadvantage. This disadvantage is eliminated by the proposed variable step size
method as the step size is automatically changed by means of a feed back controller. The proposed method
also regulates the output voltage irrespective of the dynamic disturbances temperature and irradiation. The
output power efficiency is improved by 5% to 7% in simulation and is also validated by the hardware result
obtained using Dspace DS1103 RTI as shown in Table 5 for the load resistor RL value 30Ω and 60Ω. The
simulation and the hardware results debicts the superiority of the proposed method over the conventional
method.
