1、精选优质文档-倾情为你奉上 (一) What is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and How Does it Work? Photovoltaic (PV) generation is becoming increasingly important as a renewable source since it offers many advantages such as incurring no fuel costs, not being polluting, requiring little maintenance, and emitting n
2、o noise, among others. PV modules still have relatively low conversion efficiency; therefore, controlling maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the solar array is essential in a PV system. The amount of power generated by a PV depends on the operating voltage of the array. A PVs maximum power poin
3、t (MPP) varies with solar insulation and temperature. Its V-I and V-P characteristic curves specify a unique operating point at which maximum possible power is delivered. At the MPP, the PV operates at its highest efficiency. Therefore, many methods have been developed to determine MPPT. Maximum Pow
4、er Point Tracking, frequently referred to as MPPT, is an electronic system that operates the Photovoltaic (PV) modules in a manner that allows the modules to produce all the power they are capable of. MPPT is not a mechanical tracking system that “physically moves” the modules to make them point mor
5、e directly at the sun. MPPT is a fully electronic system that varies the electrical operating point of the modules so that the modules are able to deliver maximum available power. Additional power harvested from the modules is then made available as increased battery charge current. MPPT can be used
6、 in conjunction with a mechanical tracking system, but the two systems are completely different. To understand how MPPT works, lets first consider the operation of a conventional (non-MPPT) charge controller. When a conventional controller is charging a discharged battery, it simply connects the mod
7、ules directly to the battery. This forces the modules to operate at battery voltage, typically not the ideal operating voltage at which the modules are able to produce their maximum available power. The PV Module Power/Voltage/Current graph shows the traditional Current/Voltage curve for a typical 7
8、5W module at standard test conditions of 25C cell temperature and 1000W/m2 of isolation. This graph also shows PV module power delivered vs module voltage. For the example shown, the conventional controller simply connects the module to the battery and therefore forces the module to operate at 12V.
9、By forcing the 75W module to operate at 12V the conventional controller artificially limits power production to53W. Rather than simply connecting the module to the battery, the patented MPPT system in a Solar Boost charge controller calculates the voltage at which the module is able to produce maxim
10、um power. In this example the maximum power voltage of the module (VMP) is 17V. The MPPT system then operates the modules at 17V to extract the full 75W, regardless of present battery voltage. A high efficiency DC-to-DC power converter converts the 17V module voltage at the controller input to batte
11、ry voltage at the output. If the whole system wiring and all was 100% efficient, battery charge current in this example would be VMODULE VBATTERY x IMODULE, or 17V 12V x 4.45A = 6.30A. A charge current increase of 1.85A or 42% would be achieved by harvesting module power that would have been left be
12、hind by a conventional controller and turning it into useable charge current. But, nothing is 100% efficient and actual charge current increase will be somewhat lower as some power is lost in wiring, fuses, circuit breakers, and in the Solar Boost charge controller. Actual charge current increase va
13、ries with operating conditions. As shown above, the greater the difference between PV module maximum power voltage VMP and battery voltage, the greater the charge current increase will be. Cooler PV module cell temperatures tend to produce higher VMP and therefore greater charge current increase. Th
14、is is because VMP and available power increase as module cell temperature decreases as shown in the PV Module Temperature Performance graph. Modules with a 25C VMP rating higher than 17V will also tend to produce more charge current increase because the difference between actual VMP and battery volt
15、age will be greater. A highly discharged battery will also increase charge current since battery voltage is lower, and output to the battery during MPPT could be thought of as being “constant power”. What most people see in cool comfortable temperatures with typical battery conditions is a charge cu
16、rrent increase of between 10 25%. Cooler temperatures and highly discharged batteries can produce increases in excess of 30%. Customers in cold climates have reported charge current increases in excess of 40%. What this means is that current increase tends to be greatest when it is needed most; in c
17、ooler conditions when days are short, sun is low on the horizon, and batteries may be more highly discharged. In conditions where extra power is not available (highly charged battery and hot PV modules) a Solar Boost charge controller will perform as a conventional PWM type controller. WHY MPPT? MPP
18、T loads solar panel that it operates at the maximum power point. MPPT is a DC-DC converter that uses high frequency switching and control algorithm. It is desired to design the circuit at high efficient, light weight, small size, and reliable for the event. Solar cells are dependent on environment c
19、onditions like temperature, sun light, and load voltage. While this parameters always changing daytime, solar cell or solar panel output characteristics vary also. Some hours photovoltaic system may give lower power than rated power of load. If solar panel is connected to battery by directly, a powe
20、r loss occurs in the system since solar panel operating characteristic will change at some period of time up to environment conditions. This problem can be solved by using larger solar panels, but the solution is expensive. Instead of this, maximum power point tracker circuit is located between sola
21、r panel and battery. INCREASE SOLAR CHARGING WITH AN MPPT POWER TRACKING CHARGE CONTROLLER A new feature is showing up in charge controllers. Its called maximum power point tracking (MPPT). It extracts additional power from your PV array, under certain conditions. This article explains the process b
22、y a mechanical analogy, for people who do not understand basic electricity.The function of a MPPT is analogous to the transmission in a car. When the transmission is in the wrong gear, the wheels do not receive maximum power. Thats because the engine is running either slower or faster than its ideal
23、 speed range. The purpose of the transmission is to couple the engine to the wheels, in a way that lets the engine run in a favorable speed range in spite of varying acceeration and terrain. Lets compare a PV module to a car engine. Its voltage is analogous to engine speed. Its ideal voltage is that
24、 at which it can put out maximum power. This is called its maximum power point. (Its also called peak power voltage, abbreviated Vpp). Vpp varies with sunlight intensity and with solar cell temperature. The voltage of the battery is analogous to the speed of the cars wheels. It varies with battery s
