Improved MPPT Control Strategy for PV Connected to Grid Using IncCond-PSO-MPC Approach
This paper proposes a new hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy for grid-connected solar systems based on Incremental conductance—Particle Swarm Optimization and Model Predictive Controller (IncCond-PSO-MPC). The purpose of the suggested method is to create as much power as feasible from a PV system during environmental changes
then transfer it to the power grid. To accomplish this
a hybrid combination of incremental conductance (IncCond) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed to locate maximum power
followed by model predictive control (MPC) to track maximum power and control the boost converter to achieve high performance regardless of parameter variations. A two-level inverter
likewise
controlled by Model Predictive Control
is employed to inject the PV power generated. In this application
the MPC is based on minimizing the difference between the reference and prediction powers
which is computed to select the switching state of the inverter. The proposed system is simulated and evaluated in a variety of dynamic conditions using Matlab/Simulink. Results reveal that the proposed control mechanism is effective at tracking the maximum power point (MPP) with fewer power oscillations.
