This paper proposes a nonlinear control of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of stand-alone photovoltaic systems (PV) based on synergetic control technique (SCT). This technique has controllable dynamics towards the origin and no chattering compared to sliding mode control (SMC). Mathematical model is presented and performance comparison to SMC is tested under different environmental conditions and step load.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
