Abstract: Global energy demand is growing rapidly owing to industrial growth and urbanization. Alternative energy sources are driven by limited reserves and rapid depletion of conventional energy sources (e.g., fossil fuels).Solar photovoltaic (PV), as a source of electricity, has grown in popularity over the last few decades because of their clean, noise-free, low-maintenance, and abundant availability of solar energy. There are two types of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques: classical and evolutionary algorithm-based techniques. Precise and less complex perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (INC) approaches are extensively employed among classical techniques. This study used a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware arrangement for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system. The PV panels, MPPT controllers, and battery management systems are all components of the proposed system. In the developed hardware prototype, various modes of operation of the grid-connected PV system were examined using P&O and incremental conductance MPPT approaches.

Keywords: Grid connected PV system; perturb and observe (P&O); incremental MPPT; boost converter; battery

1  Introduction

The demand for electrical energy has rapidly increased in the current scenario. The main problems associated with conventional energy sources (coal, nuclear, and gas plants) are pollution and the effect of greenhouse gases. An alternative solution to these problems and meeting requests is the use of non-conventional energy sources [1]. Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, fuel, hydropower and geothermal. Compared with all energy sources, photovoltaic (PV) systems play a key role in current distributed energy sources [2]. Photovoltaic (PV) systems are an important energy sources. Generally, renewable energy sources are pollution-free energy sources. The effectiveness of a PV system is affected by the efficiency of the PV panel and inverter. An efficiency improvement in photovoltaic power conversion using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms is required [3]. The MPPT is predicted by the PV cell output voltage regulation. The internal and load resistances must be equal to obtain the maximum output power of the PV array, which can be determined by controlling the duty cycle of the boost converter in the proposed system. The reference signal required for the direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter was generated using the MPPT controller. There are different ways to maximize the PV system power, ranging from basic voltage relationships to complex sample-based analyses. Power conversion systems need to evaluate different options based on the applications and dynamics of irradiance. Common renewable energy sources include solar and wind energies with variable output characteristics [4]. This is because of the variability in atmospheric conditions such as changes in humidity, temperature, and pressure due to rain. Hence, batteries are normally used to store energy, which helps provide constant output from renewable energy sources.

2  Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System

The general concept of a grid-connected PV system is based on the use of solar panels. A direct current (DC) source was connected to the grid with a boost converter, a battery with a bidirectional buck-boost converter and a voltage source converter (VSC). The voltage produced by the solar panel is not constant because of changing climatic conditions [5]. The MPPT controller is used in the proposed system to generate maximum power, as shown in Fig. 1. MPPT techniques have been applied to each stage to improve the PV power [6].The most important point is that the voltage-source converter stage instantaneous current control technique is used to eliminate the harmonics.

2.1 Modeling of Solar Photovoltaic Cell

Solar energy is directly converted to electricity by a PV system, which has no negative impact on the environment. A PV cell, which is a simple P-N intersection device, is the most basic segment of a PV array. Fig. 2 depicts the electrical circuit of the solar cell. The circuit has a current source (photon flow), which is represented in (2), and the diode is parallel to it. The resistor is in series, which defines the internal resistance to the current flow and shunt resistance, which expresses the leakage current [7]. The current delivered to the load can be stated in (1).

I=IphIs[exp(VηVT)1][V+IRseRsh] (1)

Iph=[Iscr+K1(TcTref)]GGref (2)

Figure 2: Electrical equivalent circuit of solar cell

As the total power produced by a single PV cell is extremely low, we used a combination of PV cells to satisfy the desired requirements [8].

Small changes in the series resistance can affect the PV cell efficiency; however, variations in the shunt resistance do not. The shunt resistance is considered infinite for very small leakage currents to the ground, and can be treated as open. The power-voltage (P-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the PV module are shown in Fig. 3 and the PV system parameters are listed in Tab. 1.

3  DC-DC Converters

A DC-DC converter is an electronic circuit that changes the direct current (DC) source at one voltage level. This is a power converter class and is similar to a transformer in the source of alternating current (AC).It can step over the voltage level up or down. Various types of DC-DC converters can change the voltage level according to supply availability and load requirements [9,10].

The maximum power can be stated as shown in (3).

Pmax=Vmax×Imax (3)

3.1 Boost Converter

The boost converter function increases the voltage level and saves energy during switching [11]. During the off period of the switching element, the inductor energy disappears in the load shared with the supply [12,13].The ratio of the load-side voltage to the source-side voltage is called the switching-device assignment ratio.The boost converter specifications are listed in Tab. 2 and the hardware implementation of the boost converter is illustrated in Fig. 4.

Figure 4: Hardware implementation for boost converter

Insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), inductors, capacitors, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controllers, IGBT driver circuits, voltage, and current sensors are among the components used in boost converter [14,15]. The voltage and current sensors sense the voltage and current, respectively, which are then fed into the FPGA controller and dumped using the MPPT algorithm. The duty cycle of the IGBT was adjusted using this algorithm to obtain the most power from the solar panel [16,17].

4  Optimization Algorithms

Typical optimization problems minimize or maximize objective functions that depend on complex and nonlinear characteristics with severe equality constraints. Because of this complexity, the controller design is suitable for completion through optimization algorithms. Electronic design through optimization algorithms is an established research field and promises to provide optimal solutions for high-complexity designs. In this study, two different MPPT algorithms are used for the maximum power tracking of a solar panel.

4.1 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Controller

A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller was used in a grid-connected photovoltaic system to sense the voltage and current of the PV panel from the sensors and compare them with the actual reference values. The necessary action will be taken in the form of a gate pulse applied to the IGBT/metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) of the boost converter. As illustrated in Fig. 5, MPPT algorithms were built using an FPGA SPARTAN6 controller (SP6 LX9 Rev-1.0). The Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA [18,19] is featured on SP6, an easy-to-use FPGA development board. It was designed for experimenting with FPGAs and researching system design. The Xilinx XC6SLX9 FPGA on this development board has a maximum of 100 user input and outputs.

4.2 Perturb and Observe Algorithm

Panel tracking involves placing a panel on a mount following the sun. It optimizes the output by following the sun across the sky to maximize the sunlight. This usually results in a 15% increase in winter and 35% increase in summer [20].The MPPT uses electronic tracking, which is typically digital. The controller looks at the output of the panel and compares it with the actual output [21]. You usually obtain a power increase of 20%–45% in summer and 10%–15% in winter [22]. Actual benefits can vary depending on the weather, temperature, battery conditions, and other factors. The tie-grid system has become popular because the price of the sun drops and electricity rates increase. Several brands of grid ties (i.e., no batteries) are available. All of these were built on MPPT [23].

Description:

The MPPT technique was used in the PV system to maximize the output power by tracking the continuous maximum temperature of the panel and irradiance representation of the P&O flow graphics, as shown in Fig. 6.

STEP: 1 Measuring Voltage and Current

In this step, the voltage and current of the solar panel were measured, and the reference values of the voltage and current were set to a certain value.

STEP: 2 Estimation of Power

In this step, the power of the solar panel was estimated by multiplying the measured voltage and current.

STEP: 3 Difference with a reference value

In this step, the voltage and power value differences from the reference value are estimates of the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET)/IGBT.

STEP: 4 Differentiation of Power

In this step, two steps are executed based on the differentiated value of the power [24,25]. If the power differentiation is less than zero and if the voltage differentiation is less than zero, the duty cycle difference and addition are applied to the gate pulse of the MOSFET/IGBT.

4.3 Incremental Conductance Algorithm

To attain the maximum power point, this approach uses the current derivative slope in conjunction with voltage [26]. To achieve the maximum efficiency, the PV array must be modified. Maximum power point tracking techniques have been developed and are frequently utilised in systems, such as the method of mining observation and incremental conductance. Fig. 7 shows the incremental conductance flow diagram. Because of its simplicity and precision, the method of perturbation observation was used in this study for a PV array. The method begins with determining the initial reference voltage [27]. The two systems output powers were compared.

4.4 Instantaneous Current Control Technique

The harmonic distortion of the grid current can be reduced using an instantaneous current control technique incorporated in a voltage source converter (VSC) [28]. The reference compensator current was obtained by subtracting the reference supply current from the load current, as shown in Fig. 8. The PWM current controller signal was obtained by subtracting the reference compensator current from the sensed compensator current. From the output of the pulse width modulation (PWM) current controller, that is, switching signals given to the firing angle of the voltage source converter in the grid-connected PV system, no shunt active filter is used for harmonic reduction; however, the technique of instantaneous current control is implemented to generate the firing angle of a VSC to reduce the total harmonic distortion of the grid current [29,30].

A load of 1000 W with MPPT indicated a condition of 5,8. A load of 750 W with MPPT indicates a condition of 6,10. Furthermore, a load of 1250 W with MPPT indicates a condition of 9, as shown in Fig. 10a.

5.3 Power Management Strategy of both the P&O and Incremental Conductance MPPT Algorithms under Different Load Conditions at Irradiance Varying from 1000 W/m2 to 700 W/m2 and 25°C, for Solar PV Grid-Connected systems

A power management strategy was applied between the solar PV, battery, and grid under different loads using the P&O and incremental conductance MPPT algorithms. Figs. 12a12c, show the power management strategy for a load demand of 1440 W using the incremental conductance MPPT algorithm. The total load demand of 1440 W supplied by the PV system was 551 W, the power supplied by the battery was 52 W, and the power supplied by the grid was 834 W. Under these conditions, the battery delivered power to the load, that is, the discharge condition.

Figs. 13a13c show the power management strategy for a load demand of 310 W using the incremental conductance MPPT algorithm. The power supplied by the PV system was 522 W; however, the load demand was 310 W. Therefore, the excessive power delivered to the grid was −175 W (voltage and current were out of phase), and the battery charging with the power consumed from the PV was −39 W. This negative sign indicates the battery-consuming power from the PV system, that is, the charging condition. Figs. 14a14c show the power management strategy for a load demand of 720 W using the P&O MPPT algorithm. The power supplied by the PV system was 450 W; however, the load demand was 720 W. Therefore, the power required by the grid was 264 W. Under these conditions, neither the battery was charged nor discharged. Figs. 15a15c show the power management strategy for a load demand of 475 W using the P&O MPPT algorithm. The total load demand of 475 W supplied by the grid alone was 507 W. Under these conditions, the PV and battery were neither supplied nor consumed.

6  Conclusion

A grid-connected photovoltaic system is the principal source of renewable energy for power plants. Hardware for a PV grid-connected system with an energy-management scheme using P&O and INC was implemented in this study. The incremental conductance method was used to extract the maximum power from the PV panel, and it had a shorter settling time to reach the steady-state maximum power than the P&O MPPT method. A review of related studies summarizes MPPT techniques as both classical and evolutionary algorithms. Among the classical techniques, P&O and INC are widely used because of their accuracy, simplicity, and low implementation cost. The proposed system with PO and INC techniques was verified in various aspects such as settling time, power management strategy, and THD improvement. By comparing the above results, the INC technique provides better performance than conventional P&O techniques.
