Abstract
This paper is focused on the design of a controller for
the DC/DC boost converter using K factor control, which is
based on modified PI control method, for maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) of solar PV system. A mathematical model for
boost converter based on small signal averaging approach is
presented. Design of the passive elements of the boost converter
as per the system specifications is also illustrated. The
performance of the proposed K factor control method is verified
with the simulations for MPPT on solar PV system at different
atmospheric conditions. A new circuit based model for solar PV
array, which includes the effect of solar insolation and
temperature on PV array output, for the application in power
system transient simulations, is also presented. The performance
of the PV array model is verified with simulations at different
atmospheric conditions. A 160W PV module from BP solar is
modelled and its characteristics are validated with the
corresponding results from its datasheet. The simulations are
performed using PSCAD/EMTDC.
