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

In this letter, a new technique to the design of an ultra-wideband (UWB) monopole hexagonal antenna with triple band-rejected functions and to restrict the interferences with the exist bands is proposed, the design has the form of a hexagonal patch and a ground plane having rectangular shaped etched in the back side of the substrate to achieve the UWB behavior. The triple-band filter feature is generated by inserting a metamaterial (MTM) as a split ring resonator slots (SRRs) and a complementary split ring resonators (CSRRs) strip, thus no extra size is needed. The triple band-elimination is for 3.3-3.9 GHz centered at 3.5 GHz for 5G band, 4.99-5.4 GHz centered at 5.2 GHz for wireless local area network (WLAN) band, and 6.2-6.8 GHz centered at 6.5 GHz for IEEE INSAT/Supra-extended C-band. The antenna dimension has a compact size of 20×25×1.6 mm3. Current distribution on the antenna is used to analyze the effect of MTMs on the antenna operations. The simple structure and small size of the antenna makes it suitable for most of the wireless communication systems.
