Control Technology of Photovoltaic Generation Systems for Maximizing Power Generation

Abstract

Abstract For the photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, the output power is one of the important performance indices for users, which is directly affected by the utilization of the PV array. It is well known that the utilization of the PV array is not only determined by its internal characteristics, but also the external environment. The internal characteristics mainly refer to the “Photovoltaic Effect”, which is determined by the materials. The external environment includes light irradiance, load condition, and environmental temperature and so on. PV array has different I - V curve with different environment conditions. Usually, there is one maximum power point (MPP) in each I - V curve. If the PV array is always operating in the MPP, the maximum utilization of PV array can be maintained, thus obtaining the maximum output power.
