STAND-ALONE SOLAR PV SYSTEM USING MPPT TECHNIQUE IN SIMSCAPE

– the stand-alone solar photovoltaic (PV) system mostly used by the islanded power electricity needed for rural area that located far away and unreachable from the national grid. Due to operate the system, the multiple power point tracker (MPPT) technique is used to support PV system to operate at its maximum power. The way the MPPT algorithm works is by calculating the output of PV module, then compares it to battery voltage then fixes what is the optimum power that PV module can produce to charge the battery and converts it to the optimum voltage to get maximum current into battery. It can also supply power to a DC load, which is connected directly to the battery. MPPT is very useful in cloudy days. This paper deploys the use of MPPT technique within the stand-alone solar PV system by simulating the designed Simscape model. Two MPPT techniques, which are the incremental conductance and perturbation and observation (P&O) have been chosen to be run as the system simulated. The parameters that have been observed are DC bus voltage, the PV power, the PV voltage, and the PV current, respectively. The results showed that the DC bus voltage raised and steady at the 377.3 V, the solar power increased to 2 kW, and the PV current decreased to approximately 7 A. The DC load is connected across the boost converter output. The solar PV system operates in both maximum power point tracking and de-rated voltage control modes. To track the maximum power point (MPP) of the solar PV, the two MPPT techniques incremental conductance and P&O might have been chosen.


I. INTRODUCTION
A solar photovoltaic (PV) system is made up of several photovoltaic solar cells. Depending on the capacity of the power plant or the amount of electricity generated, a group of modules can be connected in series or parallel to form an array. Despite the fact that the modules are created by the same manufacturers or from the same materials, but their performance characteristics differ, and the overall system performance changes depending on the efficiency or performance of the individual components. Solar PV system components include a battery charge controller, an inverter, an MPPT controller, and some low voltage (LV) switchgear [1]. According to reference [2], "Peak watt rating is a key performance measurement of PV module. The peak watt (Wp) rating is determined by measuring the maximum power of a PV module under laboratory Standard Test Conditions (STC)".
PV systems that are designed and sized to serve DC and/or AC electrical loads are known as stand-alone PV systems. Many stand-alone PV systems use batteries for energy storage. In reference [3], it is stated that When sunlight shines on the PV module, DC power is generated. MPPT is connected to the PV module in order to maximize the DC output from the PV module due to the PV module's characteristic, which is dependent on temperature and irradiance. To prevent the system from shutting down at night, the generated DC power must be stored in the battery. The DC/DC converter converts the higher/lower DC voltage of the PV module into the lower/higher voltage needed to charge the battery. The controller is in charge of regulating the energy flow from the solar panels to the batteries. Overcharging and discharging the battery are both prevented by the controller. The DC electricity from the batteries is converted to AC power by an inverter before being transferred to the AC load. The block design of a typical stand-alone PV system powering DC and AC loads with battery storage option is shown in Fig. 1. MPPT's main purpose is to force the system to operate at maximum extracted power from PV panels under a variety of environmental conditions[4] [5]. MPPT techniques differ in terms of the number of sensors, cost, complexity, effectiveness, and correct tracking for different irradiation and temperatures. Then you'll need a controller that pushes the PV system to operate at its maximum extracted power [5] [6].
A normal PV module produces power with a maximum power voltage of around 17 V when measured at a cell temperature of 25 o C; however, on a very hot day, it can dip to around 15 V, and on a very cold day, it can soar to 18 V. The fundamental idea behind MPPT is to extract the most power out of PV modules by operating them at the most efficient voltage. MPPT calculates a PV module's output, compares it to the battery voltage, and then determines what is the best power that a PV module can supply to charge the battery and converts it to the best voltage to get the greatest current into the battery. It can also run a DC load connected directly to the battery. On cloudy days or when the battery is entirely exhausted, MPPT is very useful [2].
There are several techniques of MPPT to be implemented within the This paper deploys the MPPT technique for stand alone solar PV system with battery storage that used the incremental conductance and perturbation and observation (P&O) methods whereas a boost converter is utilized to control the output power of the system. The paper is organized into four sections, namely the introduction of the article that discussed the background of the problem, a brief literature review, the aims and objectives of the carried-out research. Added in section two the method that used to mitigate the research and then continued to section three the discussion of the results and ended with section four the conclusions.

The solar plant subsystem simulates a solar plant with parallel-connected solar panel strings. The Solar Cell block from the Simscape™, Electrical™ library is used to model the solar panel. Using the specified DC bus voltage, solar cell characteristics, and power rating, the solar panel string length and number of parallel connected threads are determined. Connecting several panels may slow down the simulation as the number of elements in a model grows. By assuming constant irradiance and temperature across all solar panels and using the controlled current and voltage sources as described in the solar panel subsystem, it is possib reduce the number of solar elements. The variation subsystem is used to implement two MPPT approaches. To use the P&O MPPT approach, set the variation variable MPPT to 0. To use the incremental conductance approach, set the variable MPPT to 1.
The solar PV power is controlled by a boost DC DC converter. Both MPPT and voltage control modes are supported by the boost converter. When the load power is less than the maximum power provided by a solar PV plant due to incident irradiance and panel temperatur the voltage control mode is utilized. The battery management system employs a bi directional DC-DC converter. The battery is charged by the buck converter, while it is discharged by the boost converter. To improve battery performance and life cycle, systems with battery backup have reduced the maximum battery charging and discharging current. The maximum charging power is equivalent to the solar plant capacity in the standard test setting. The battery should be able to be recharged faster than the user recharge time with the highest charging power selected.
