Murtadha Jasim Hasan, Mayada Yousif Hellan . Control and Modeling of PSO-PID based MPPT. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 13 ( May 2022), 1-8. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922112
This paper proposes a design and modeling of the control system for a photovoltaic (PV) generator, which depends on solar radiation and ambient temperature, for this reason, the use of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller is a necessity to obtain the maximum power required for the (PV) system despite the variance in climatic conditions. The most common method used to control MPPT is the perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm, despite the simplicity of this method, it suffers from many problems including oscillation around the (MPPT), and the maximum overshoot, especially when the perturbation step size is very large. For these reasons, the improved MPPT algorithm becomes an important goal for many researchers. This paper introduces Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), which enhancesthe (PID) controller to make it more accurate and faster to reach the target,despite the difference in temperature and sun irradiance directed at the solar panels. Both of them (PSO-PID)are based on MPPT control. MATLAB Simulink programs were used for modeling of PV array to provide the load of thePower Engineering Department for the Electrical Technical College with 5 kW. In addition to (DC to DC) boost converter was designed and modeled. The performance of the proposed (PSO-PID) controller was compared with the simulation result of the P&O method, and Fuzzy logic controllers (FLC). The simulation results illustrate an enhanced performance of the proposed (PSO-PID) control system of oscillation, response time, maximum harvesting power, ripple, and maximum overshoot.
