Özet

In recent years, photovoltaic generation systems (PGSs) have been fairly popular thanks to the methods proposed for the improvement of the dynamic efficiency. For a more accurate evaluation of the actual dynamic performance in PGSs, a dynamic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency test based upon an international test procedure such as the European Procedure EN 50530 is of vital importance. The varying gradient irradiance profile in EN 50530 test procedure causes uncertainties in PGSs, which lead to unstable operating conditions for PGSs. It is a challenging task to provide stable operation for PGSs. To overcome this problem, an effective MPPT method based upon adaptive type 2 fuzzy-neural network (AT2FNN) is proposed using EN 50530 test procedure specifically designed for the dynamic performance of PGSs. The dynamic efficiency performance of the proposed method is analyzed using comparative simulation studies with conventional MPPT methods such as perturb and observe (P&O) and incremental conductance (IC) in Matlab/Simulink environment. The average dynamic efficiency of PGSs is used as performance criteria in the present study. The numerical results obtained from comparative simulation studies indicated that the proposed method improved average dynamic efficiency by almost 4.3% and 9.2% compared to IC and P&O MPPT methods, respectively. The average dynamic efficiency performance of PGS was considerably improved by the proposed method.
