Maximum power point tracking method under local shadow condition

Abstract

The invention relates to a maximum power point tracking method under a local shadow condition, which comprises the following steps of: 1) constructing a photovoltaic cell model, a booster circuit model and a controller model based on a harmony search algorithm by combining current-voltage characteristics of a photovoltaic array under the local shadow; 2) initializing parameters of a self-adaptive harmony search algorithm, initializing a harmony memory bank, taking an optimized initial voltage value as harmony, generating a new harmony vector, and further obtaining an updated voltage; 3) updating the harmony vector in the harmony memory bank; and 4) judging whether an algorithm termination standard is reached or not, if so, outputting the optimal voltage and tracking the global maximum power point, otherwise, continuing to generate a new harmony vector and updating the harmony memory bank until the algorithm termination standard is reached. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of improving the tracking speed and precision, improving the solar energy utilization rate and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, in particular to a maximum power point tracking method under partial shadow conditions. Background technique [0002] With the development of society, energy and environmental issues are becoming more and more prominent, solar energy has a good application prospect as a renewable energy. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells is low, and the output power has a great relationship with the intensity of sunlight and the ambient temperature, which has obvious nonlinearity. It is necessary to connect a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit between the photovoltaic device and the load. Give full play to the efficacy of photovoltaic cells. At present, the commonly used MPPT control algorithms include constant voltage tracking control method, perturbation and observation method, and conductance increment method.

[0003] Under partial shadow conditions, the P-V curve of photovoltaic power generation shows multi-peak changes. The constant voltage method needs to work and under specific lighting conditions. For partial shadow conditions, the tracking accuracy is poor and the power loss is large; the disturbance observation method and the conductance increment method are for single peak The maximum power tracking accuracy under the P-V curve is high, but for the multi-peak P-V curve under partial shadows, only the first power peak po...
