Study the utilization of DC-DC converters ripple for maximum power point tracking in stand –alone solar photovoltaic systems


Abstract in English

Search is based on the first stage DC/DC in the solar photovoltaic system, where it was appropriate to use Ripple Correlation Control method for tracking the maximum power point of photovoltaic arrays. The technique takes advantage of the signal ripple, which is automatically present in power converters, where the ripple is interpreted as a perturbation from which a gradient ascent optimization can be realized. The Basic feature of Ripple Correlation Control technique converges asymptotically at maximum speed to the maximum power point, and has simple circuit implementations. And will validate the results in practice.
