Güngör, Okan; Kahveci, Hakan
Partial shading significantly impacts the output power of photovoltaic (PV) arrays. This issue can be addressed by reconfiguring connections or positions of modules within the PV array. However, reconfiguration approaches present some drawbacks including the requirements of manual effort, complex algorithms, difficulty in implementation, and switching matrices that increase power losses. To overcome these issues, we present a low-cost and easily implemented reconfiguration method with integration into a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for a PV array. We denote our MPPT approach as reconfigurable MPPT (RMPPT), and verify its applicability using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, namely the reconfigurable PSO. Consequently, this approach has enhanced the output power of the PV array by at least 7.2% compared to PNO (perturb and observe) and PSO-based MPPT under realistic weather conditions.

Güngör, Okan; Yüksek, Halil İbrahim
The efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) panel systems depends on the structure of the photovoltaic cells and the transfer of energy from the PV panel to load. The focus of this study is energy transfer. The most important component in the energy transfer is maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The MPPT consists of two components: the algorithm for calculation the maximum power and the hardware for power generating. This study investigates how some the DC-DC converters (hardware) impact on the performance of the MPPT under six different environmental conditions by using two different duty cycle calculation methods. Contribution of this study to the literatüre is to analyze the performance of some the DC-DC converters in MPPT by completely eliminating the effect of MPPT algorithms. As a result of this study, while using the Boost converter in MPPT applications, the internal resistance of the PV panel must be equal or smaller than load resistance. However, the Cuk converter can reach to maximum power point in all conditions such as temperature, radiation and load.
