Abstract

This paper presents a control called Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic (PV) system in a solar car. The main purpose of this system is to extracts PV power maximally while keeping small losses using a simple design of converter. Working principle of MPPT based fuzzy logic controller (MPPT-FLC) is to get desirable values of reference current and voltage. MPPT-FLC compares them with the values of the PV's actual current and voltage to control duty cycle value. Then the duty cycle value is used to adjust the angle of ignition switch (MOSFET gate) on the Boost converter. The proposed method was shown through simulation performed using PSIM and MATLAB software. Simulation results show that the system is able to improve the PV power extraction efficiency significantly by approximately 98% of PV’s power.

Abstract

Micro-hydro Power Plant had three primary components: water (as the energy resource), turbine, and generator. Water that flew in a specific capacity was channeled from a certain height to the installation house (turbine house). In the powerhouse, the water installation pounded the turbine that made the turbine received direct energy from the water and turn it into mechanical energy and caused the turbine shaft to spin. Changes in the loading could cause fluctuation in the system’s frequency and voltage. This problem could damage electrical equipment. Therefore, the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) was used to control and stabilize the voltage. This research used PID controller to obtain the optimized control parameter in the Micro-hydro Power Plant. This research compared the simulations of without control method, with PID-ZN control method, and with PID-DE method to obtain the best control method. The comparison simulations showed that the best response in the micro-hydro plant and the AVR system was from the PID-DE controller. These results might be a reference for future research with other methods that might generate better results.  Â
