Maximum Power Extraction in Photovoltaic Systems Using High-Performance Adaptive Control Approach

Abstract

The nonlinearities present in photovoltaic (PV) generator models can significantly impact the performance of PV systems, leading to decreased system efficiency and reduced profitability. This paper is aimed at addressing these challenges by developing a novel control algorithm based on a high-performance adaptive control method for photovoltaic systems. The proposed algorithm is designed to effectively track set points and optimize power extraction even in the presence of disturbances. The key contribution of this work lies in the application of this control strategy specifically to PV systems to achieve optimal performance. When compared to traditional control methods, the proposed approach demonstrates significant improvements, notably in terms of power extraction efficiency and system loss reduction. Moreover, the control algorithm effectively ensures accurate tracking of set points. These outcomes underscore the notable performance enhancements facilitated by the proposed algorithm. In conclusion, the developed control algorithm offers superior performance in optimizing power extraction and maintaining precise set point tracking for PV systems, leading to improved system efficiency and increased profitability.
