Enhancing Photovoltaic Efficiency with the Optimized Steepest Gradient Method and Serial Multi-Cellular Converters

Abstract

Many methods have been developed to aid in achieving the maximum power point (MPP) generated by PV fields in order to improve photovoltaic (PV) production. The optimized steepest gradient technique (OSGM), which is used to extract the maximum power produced by a PV field coupled to a multicell series converter, is one such promising methodology. The OSGM uses the power function’s first and second derivatives to find the optimal voltage (Vpv) and converge to the voltage (Vref) that secures the MPP. The mathematical model was developed in Matlab/Simulink, and the MPPT algorithm’s performance was evaluated in terms of reaction time, oscillations, overshoots, and stability. The OSGM has a faster response time, fewer oscillations around the MPP, and minimal energy loss. Furthermore, the numerical calculation of the gradient and Hessian of the power function enables accurate modeling, improving the system’s precision. These findings imply that the OSGM strategy may be a more efficient way of obtaining MPP for PV fields. Future research can look into the suitability of this method for different types of PV systems, as well as ways to improve the algorithm’s performance for specific applications.

Cost-effective high-gain DC-DC converter for elevator drives using photovoltaic power and switched reluctance motors

“…If a few steps were taken to minimize these aspects, then this kind of energy would become a cheaper and maintenancefree system for several years (Caracas et al, 2013;Meghni et al, 2017). In (Raghavendra et al, 2019), the authors propose a unique converter for solar water-pumping assemblies that do not require a battery (Antonello et al, 2016;Raghavendra et al, 2019;Meena and Singh, 2023b;Fekik et al, 2023;Thanikanti et al, 2023). Then, new high-voltage-boosting converters are designed in (Hwu et al, 2012;Hwu and Yau, 2013).…”
