Maximum Power Point Tracking Control for Photovoltaic Generation Using Quasi-Continuous Sliding Mode Control

This paper proposes a quasi-continuous sliding mode control for maximizing the power production of photo-voltaic generation. The admittance-based maximum power tracking method is used for obtaining a reference and quasi-continuous sliding mode control is used for mitigating the chattering behavior to help Maximum power point tracking performance and its reliability. From simulation study using MATLAB/Simulink, we validated that the proposed method outperforms the previous method.
