- Development of a photovoltaic MPPT control based on neural networkPublication . Abderrahmane, Elhor; Abdelfettah, Kerboua; Fouad, Boukli Hacen; Soares, OrlandoThe Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is an important factor to increase the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system. This paper presents a solar PV system containing a solar PV array, a DC/DC boost converter and a load. Di↵erentMPPT algorithms have been established with their features. The conventional algorithms (Perturb and Observe, Incremental Conductance and Open Circuit Voltage) show a lot of drawbacks. The major issue is the tracking of the Maximum Power Point (MPP) when environmental conditions change faster. So, a MPPT technique based on Neural Network (NN) was developed and which can enhance the efficiency and gathers the advantages of a lot of techniques. A multi layer neural network with back-propagation algorithm is used in order to have a small Mean Squared Error (MSE). The inputs of NN are irradiance, temperature and the output is the duty cycle that controls the boost converter. Finally, it is discussed the results and made comparison in terms of performance of the di↵erent algorithms, covering the overshoot, time response, oscillation and stability.

- Smart microgrid management: a hybrid optimisation approachPublication . Amoura, Yahia; Pereira, Ana I.; Lima, José; Ferreira, Ângela P.; Boukli-Hacene, Fouad; Abdelfettah, KerbouaThe association of distributed generators, energy storage systems and controllable loads close to the energy consumers gave place to a small-scale electrical network called microgrid. The stochastic behavior of renewable energy sources, as well as the demand variation, can lead in some cases to problems related to the reliability of the microgrid system. On the other hand, the market price of electricity from mainly non-renewable sources becomes a concern for a simple consumer due to its high costs. An innovative optimization method, combining linear programming, based on the simplex method, with the particle swarm optimisation algorithm is used to develop an energy management system. The management is performed considering a smart city’s consumption profile, two management scenarios have been proposed to characterize the relation price versus gas emissions for optimal energy management. The simulation results have demonstrated the reliability of the optimisation approach on the energy management system in the optimal scheduling of the microgrid generators power flows, having achieved a better energy price compared to a previous study with the same data. The computational results identified the optimal set-points of generators in a smart city supplied by a microgrid while ensuring consumer comfort, minimising greenhouse gas emissions and guarantee an appropriate operating price for all consumers in the smart city. The energy management system based on the proposed optimisation approach gave an inverse correlation between economic and environmental aspects, in fact, a multi-objective optimisation approach is performed as a continuation of the work proposed in this paper.
