Application in photovoltaic MPPT based on improved hysteresis loop comparison method

Abstract

In order to overcome the misjudgement and oscillation of the traditional perturbation observation method when tracking the maximum power point of the PV system, this paper proposes a fixed-zone variable-step hysteresis comparison algorithm. The bi-directional perturbation of the hysteresis loop can effectively avoid the occurrence of misjudgement; after setting the partition voltage threshold, different step lengths can be used to track specific regions, which can ensure the tracking speed and maintain the system stability. Finally, the proposed algorithm is validated in Matlab/simulink and the results show that the method is effective in tracking the maximum power point of the PV system in all aspects compared to conventional algorithms.
