Abstract

A solar photovoltaic (PV) array is part of a PV power plant as a generation unit. PV array that are usually placed on top of buildings or the ground will be very susceptible to dirt and dust. Thus, this dirt and dust will be able to reduce the performance and work efficiency of the generation unit. Cleaning PV arrays by manpower requires high effort, cost, and risk, especially in higher location. This study presents the design of a mobile robot that is used to replace human labor to clean PV arrays. That way, the PV array maintenance steps can reduce operational costs and risks. This intelligent controlled mobile robot can maneuver safely and efficiently over PV arrays. gyroscope and proximity sensors are used to detect and follow the sweep path over the entire PV array area. Proportional integral derivative (PID) control test makes the robot can stabilize in about 5.72 seconds to keep on the track. The smart PV cleaning robot has average operation time about 13 minutes in autonomous mode and 20-24 minutes in manual mode. The operation of the robot is effective to give more efficiency on the use of energy, time, and maintenance costs of PV array system.

Abstract

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a technique to optimize the photovoltaic (PV) current generation, so it can improve the efficiency of solar energy harvesting. MPPT works by searching the voltage which generates the maximum power, called the maximum power point (MPP). MPP value changes by the fluctuance of ambient temperature and solar insolation level depicted by the I-V curve. Searching the MPP will be more complex if the partial shading is happened. The effect of partial shading will rise to more than one local MPPs. In this research, an optimization algorithm is modeled and simulated the MPPT technique in partial shading. The optimization uses the new metaheuristic algorithm which inspired from a physical phenomenon, called Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA). The AOA uses mathematical modeling which has convergence capabilities, balanced exploration, and exploitation and is suitable for solving complex optimization technique, like MPPT. The research used varies partial insolation percentage. The implementation of MPPT-AOA compared to other metaheuristic algorithms to analysis its performance in the aspect of PV system parameters and tracking process parameters. The simulation result shows that the AOA can enrich the MPPT technique and improve the solar energy harvesting which is superior to other algorithms.
