Title
Voltage-Oriented Input–Output Linearization Controller as Maximum Power Point Tracking Technique for Photovoltaic Systems
Abstract
This paper presents a robust input-output linearization controller as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique in a photovoltaic (PV) buck dc-dc converter with applications to dc microgrids, solar vehicles, or stand-alone systems. Due to the control structure proposed in this paper, the MPPT control system is able to track very fast irradiance changes. Meanwhile, the internal stability of the overall closed-loop system is guaranteed for different load scenarios. A sector condition is only required for the load current, which is satisfied for most of the current PV applications. In turn, this condition implies the robustness against oscillations in the dc bus voltage. Finally, the MPPT control system is validated through experimental results, where the closed-loop performance is evaluated under abrupt irradiance and set-point changes, parametric uncertainty, and dc bus load variations.
