Research on No-communication Control Strategy Applied to Series MPPT Controller

In order to maximize the power generation capacity of solar cells, the power rate transmission mode of power controller generally adopts the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control mode. Among them, the energy system with centralized topology only contains one MPPT controller, which cannot ensure that each photovoltaic module works at its maximum power point, resulting in a significant decline in the conversion efficiency of the energy system. The architecture of distributed energy system includes parallel and series. Compared with the parallel MPPT controller, the voltage ratio of the series MPPT controller can be smaller, which is helpful to improve the conversion efficiency of the controller. Firstly, a distributed energy system based on series MPPT is proposed, and a start-up strategy without communication is proposed. Then, according to the characteristics of the proposed system, a high-precision and fast MPPT control strategy is proposed. Then, according to the system architecture and control strategy, the parameters of MPPT controller are designed. Finally, an experimental platform is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed energy system architecture and control strategy.
