Abstract

The study presents an overview and a simulation of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for Photovoltaic (PV) systems that uses an artificial neural network (ANN) controller as proof of concept. Solar energy must be harvested with high efficien-cy as the world turns to renewables. The usual Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental (InC) method loses power by oscil-lating around the Maximum Power Point (MPP) and reacts slowly to sudden weather changes. The work therefore tests an ANN as a better choice. The authors survey earlier ANN MPPT studies that cover many network types, training schemes and mixed strategies. They then build a MATLAB/Simulink model that runs an ANN controller and a P&O controller on the same PV array. The ANN learns from Istanbul 2020 weather data. The results show the ANN reaches 252 W and 87.9% of efficiency while P&O reaches 241 W and 84.26% of efficiency, and InC reaches 245 W and 78.1% of efficiency. The ANN also tracks the MPP faster and with steadier behaviour when irradiance varies. These outcomes confirm that ANN MPPT can raise the energy output of PV systems.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, kavram kanıtı olarak YSA denetleyicisi kullanan PV sistemleri için MPPT'ye genel bir bakış ve bir simülasyon sunmaktadır. Dünya yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yönelirken güneş enerjisi yüksek verimlilikle toplanmalıdır. Alışılagelmiş P&O ve InC yöntemi, MPP etrafında salınarak güç kaybeder ve ani hava değişikliklerine yavaş tepki verir. Bu nedenle çalışma, YSA'yı daha iyi bir seçenek olarak test etmektedir. Yazarlar, birçok ağ türünü, eğitim şemasını ve karma stratejileri kapsayan daha önceki YSA tabanlı MPPT çalışmalarını incelemektedir. Daha sonra aynı PV dizisi üzerinde bir YSA kontrolörü ve bir P&O kontrolörü çalıştıran bir MATLAB Simulink modeli oluşturmuşturlardır. YSA, İstanbul 2020 hava durumu verileriyle eğitilmiştir. Sonuçlar, YSA'nın 252 W ve yüzde 87.9 verimliliğe ulaştığını, P&O'nun 241 W ve yüzde 84.26 verimliliğe ulaştığını ve InC'nin 245 W ve yüzde 78.1 verimliliğe ulaştığını göstermiştir. YSA ayrıca MPP'yi daha hızlı ve ışınım değiştiğinde daha istikrarlı bir davranışla takip etmektedir. Bu sonuçlar, YSA tabanlı MPPT'nin PV sistemlerinin enerji çıkışını artırabileceğini doğrulamaktadır.
