The invention relates to a
perturbation and observation method MPPT control method with a photovoltaic array self-adaptive step size. The control method includes the main steps that output
voltage and currents of a photovoltaic array PV are sampled to obtain a P-U characteristic curve, PV end
voltage corresponding to incomplete differential and PV end
voltage corresponding to ideal differential are Ua and Ub respectively, and the PV end voltage is divided into an interval I (0-Ua), an interval II (Ua-Ub) and an interval III (>Ub). Forward disturbance is performed in the interval I with the step size of d1, reverse disturbance is performed in the interval II with the step size of (2 eta-1), and reverse disturbance is performed in the interval III with the step size of d1.
Signal samples of a
voltage sensor and a
current sensor of a
system are connected into a micro processor, all
processing modules for executing the method are stored in a program storage unit, a
pulse width modulation module (PWM) is connected into output of the micro processor, and the PWM outputs a drive
signal to control a direct-current conversion circuit of the photovoltaic array to achieve maximum power point tracing. Tracing is carried out with the small step size close to the MPP and with the large step size in far intervals, the step size is adjusted in a self-adaptive mode, the antijamming capability is improved,
PV power loss is effectively reduced, and the energy use ratio is effectively increased.
