Research on the MPPT Stability of the Single-Stage and Single-Phase Photovoltaic Grid-Connected System

Abstract:

At present the multi-stage transformation topology are more used in photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected system, although the control of this structure is relatively simple but the conversion efficiency is difficult to improve due to increase in transformation series. The single stage topology has a simple topology with high reliability and efficiency because of low power consumption, but control algorithm is more complex because of its power convert main circuit without DC-DC. This paper describes a method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in the single-stage and single-phase PV grid-connected system. In the paper, the nonlinear output characteristics of the PV including I-V & P-V are obtained in changed solar insulations or temperature based on MATLAB, and the MPPT algorithm which is based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is also described. The simulation model of the single-stage and single-phase PV grid-connected system is built , and simulation results show the MPPT algorithm has excellent dynamic and static performances ,which verifies the PSO method is effective for MPPT in the single-stage and single-phase PV grid-connected system.
