Abstract

The objective of this paper is to optimize the energy generation of a photovoltaic system by proposing an improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique. The proposed method combines an artificial neural network (ANN) with a backstepping controller to enhance the photovoltaic (PV) system’s efficiency and precision in diverse climatic conditions, including solar irradiance and temperature. The ANN is used to predict the optimal voltage at maximum power point (MPP) Vpv, ref, and the backstepping controller is used to control the DC/DC converter based on Vpv, ref. The results obtained using this technique are compared with those obtained from the perturbation and observation (P&O) technique. The proposed technique achieves better results than P&O in terms of efficiency, accuracy, stability, and response time. The simulations are performed on MATLAB/Simulink software.

Abstract

The sharp rise in global energy demand over recent decades has necessitated the exploration of alternative energy sources. Solar energy, known for being both pollution- and fuel-free, stands out as a preferred choice. However, its efficiency is sensitive to factors like temperature fluctuations and solar irradiation. To optimize energy extraction, a maximum power point tracking algorithm is crucial for photovoltaic systems. This paper proposes a robust sliding mode control enhanced with an artificial neural network to achieve the Maximum Power Point in a stand-alone PV system. The artificial neural network determines the reference voltage, which is then regulated by the sliding mode control to match the photovoltaic array voltage. The performance of the suggested controller is compared to that of a proportional integral-based neural network controller and the perturb and observe method using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the suggested method provides excellent tracking performance and rapid convergence even under quickly changing weather conditions, highlighting its efficiency and robustness.

Abstract

In photovoltaic energy systems, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are essential for optimizing power output under changing climatic conditions. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature, including classical techniques such as perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC), nonlinear controllers such as backstepping, and artificial intelligence-based techniques like fuzzy logic. This study compares the performance of an artificial neural network (ANN)-based MPPT approach with these nonlinear and classical MPPT techniques. It analyses the advantages and limitations of the various techniques to evaluate their performance in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and output power stability under changing climatic conditions. The study aims to help researchers select the most effective technique to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic systems. The simulation was carried out using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results indicated that the artificial neural network achieved better performance than the other techniques in terms of tracking speed, with an efficiency of up to 99.94%, while maintaining stable output power under changing climatic conditions. The backstepping controller also showed stable output power compared to traditional techniques. Fuzzy logic had a lower efficiency than both the artificial neural network and backstepping. Perturbation and observe and incremental conductance are easy to implement, but they showed oscillations around the maximum power point, which reduces the overall efficiency of the system.
