A Dual-Mode MPPT Algorithm Based on the Golden Section Point of the PV System

Article Preview

Abstract:

A dual-mode MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method is proposed in this paper. When external conditions or loads change suddenly, the P&O (Perturb and Observe) method is used to adjust the operating point of the PV (Photovoltaic) array close to the MPP (Maximum Power Point) for fast tracking; meanwhile, the INC (Incremental Conductance) method is combined with the P&O method to optimize the steady-state characteristic. Moreover, to improve the control precision, the golden section point is used to adjust the disturbance step on line. Simulation results show that the proposed method tracks the MPP (Maximum Power Point) quickly, reduces the oscillation around the MPP effectively and improves the energy conversion efficiency of the PV system availably.
