Omar Boukli-hacene, Ali Chermitti . Robust Regulation of the Photovoltaic Voltage using Sliding Mode Control as Part of a MPPT Algorithm. International Journal of Computer Applications. 78, 11 ( September 2013), 43-48. DOI=10.5120/13537-1283
The cost of the solar photovoltaic energy production is quite high and its efficiency is very low, hence the need to optimize the conversion process. This paper presents the synthesis of a robust control law for regulation of the photovoltaic voltage which is added to a MPPT algorithm to maximize power generated. The simulation results under Simulink confirm the efficiency and robustness of the proposed control.
