- 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.

- MPPT technique based on neural network for photovoltaic systemPublication . Abderrahmane, Elhor; Soares, Orlando; Abdelfettah, KerbouaThe using of an efficient MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm influences a lot in the global efficiency of the PV system. This thesis presents a detailed study based on simulation of different MPPT algorithms with their features using two systems (off-grid and on-grid). The off-grid system contains a PV array connected to a boost converter and a resistive load. On the off-grid system a simulation is presented using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform with several MPPT algorithms. The simulated MPPT algorithms are the conventionals Incremental Conductance (IncCond), Perturb and Observe (P&O), Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) and a new developed Neural Network (NN) under different environmental conditions of temperature and irradiance. As a result of the simulation, the NN algorithm has a quick response, i.e, it requires less time to reach the MPP and high efficiency and less oscillation comparing with the conventional methods. On the other hand, a single-phase two-stage photovoltaic grid-connected system is simulated which contains a PV array, a boost converter, a dc link capacitor, an inverter, an output L filter and the utility grid. In that system a control of dc link voltage, the injected current and the MPPT is made. Another MPPT algorithm based on NN (modified- NN) was also established. Showed later that is the most suitable for the system. The maximum of power is achieved when the irradiance is maximal and the temperature is minimal. Finally, a study of the influence of the variation in the climatic conditions on the output performance of the system is done.
