Maximum power point tracking in pv System using machine learning Controllers for microclimatic Conditions

Abstract

In the earth, coal resource continues to diminish every year and power generation becomes a challenging task. Interestingly, solar energy has become the alternate for coal based power generation. Innovations in photovoltaic (PV) installations and infrastructures have gained more popular in this world. Solar is the most sustainable energy sources, solar PV is expected to poise solar powered house. PV power generation is the only and alternate to conventional power generation system. Among all the various available renewable energy sources, photovoltaic energy system has multiple advantages such as pollution free, less maintenance, without fuel cost and contributes to green environment. PV panel based power output performance depends on Environmental factors such as fluctuations in irradiation, temperature, partial shading of irradiation. The above environmental factor affects the power output efficiency drastically. To extract maximum output, PV panel should be operated at maximum power point (MPP) and establish productivity is called as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) irrespective of environmental and load fluctuations. newlineThe maximum throughputs from PV arrays are attained, when MPPT techniques are employed. Maximum power output is a unique operating point which can be obtained from non-linear characteristics. The widely used simple technic are perturb (P) and observe (O) and incremental conductance (INC) method. By enhancing instantaneous power and conductance valve, both P and O and INC methods vary their duty cycle to track MPP, provided irradiation conditions remain constant, which may never expected to remain same all the times. newline
