MPPT of Two-Peak PV System Combined the Hysteresis Comparison Method with Incremental Conductance

Abstract:

Due to the different PV modules and external conditions, large-scale photovoltaic power plants often show a multi-peak PV characteristics. But the traditional MPPT methods is only for single-peak P-V curve to strike a maximum power point. So we need to improve the conventional MPPT methods. In the MATLAB/Simulink environment, we combined the Hysteresis Comparison Method with Incremental Conductance to build the S-function to create a simulation model obtaining the maximum power point power, voltage and current. In the same simulation system the traditional Incremental Conductance was used to obtain the maximum power, voltage and current which compare with the maximum power, voltage and current which obtained by the proposed method . The results of simulation illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed method .
