Technical field
The invention belongs to the photovoltaic power generation technology in electrical engineering field, be specifically related to the MPPT maximum power point tracking of photovoltaic array under uneven illumination condition in a kind of photovoltaic generating system and control (MPPT-Maximum PowerPoint Tracking) method.
Background technology
Sun power, as a kind of regenerative resource, has widely distributed, sustainable, free of contamination advantage.Photovoltaic power generation technology is effective one of Basic Ways utilizing solar energy resources.At present, the support energetically that grid-connected various photovoltaic power generation technologies have received national governments is comprised.
Although photovoltaic power generation technology has a good application prospect, it is as a kind of newer technology, and being also faced with manyly has problem to be solved, and one of them is that photovoltaic array shade covers problem.The reason that shade covers problem is caused to have, photovoltaic cell towards, buildings partial occlusion and laying dust covering etc. different from inclination angle during inconsistent, the project installation of photovoltaic cell or photovoltaic module output characteristics own.When photovoltaic array covers by shade, the output characteristic curve of photovoltaic array will show multi-peak feature, and be now difficult to make photovoltaic array be operated in global maximum power point, the operational efficiency of photovoltaic generating system significantly declines; According to statistics, covering by shade the photovoltaic array efficiency decline caused can up to more than 15%.Maximum power point of photovoltaic array tracing control is the Basic Ways improving photovoltaic array generating efficiency, and cover under normal circumstances at shadow-free, the output characteristic curve of photovoltaic array is single peak curve, now than being easier to the maximum power point finding system.
In the recent period, conventional single peak maximum power point tracing method mainly comprises disturbance observation method, conductance increment method, constant voltage process and stagnant ring relative method etc.These methods are mainly applicable to the MPPT maximum power point tracking of photovoltaic system under single peak condition, and for being covered the multi-peak situation caused by shade, existing single peak maximum power point tracing method is difficult to adapt to.Therefore, design the maximum power point tracing method that simultaneously can be applicable to single peak and multi-peak situation and there is outstanding engineering significance.
At present, under multi-peak condition, the tracking and controlling method of maximum power point has become the study hotspot problem of photovoltaic power generation technology, this existing scientific paper has done deep theoretical analysis to this, also the engineering method of practical application is had, as application for a patent for invention " photovoltaic array multimodal maximum power point tracing method " (CN103123514A) and " the quick optimization method of overall maximum power point of photovoltaic array under local shadow " (CN103324239A).Wherein,
Chinese invention patent application prospectus CN103123514A " photovoltaic array multimodal maximum power point tracing method " disclosed in 29 days Mays in 2013 first tentatively chooses global maximum power point (MPP) mountain peak, place according to the open-circuit voltage of photovoltaic array during shadow-free and short-circuit current; Again with the ratio of the voltage of maximum power point of photovoltaic array during shadow-free and tandem photovoltaic component count for benchmark, choose maximal power tracing (MPPT) step-size in search, search for the MPP of the left and right sides respectively, until search certain MPP, the output power value of its correspondence is greater than the MPP output power value of its left and right sides, namely thinks that this MPP is overall MPP; Finally maintain photovoltaic array and run on overall MPP, and the change of Real-Time Monitoring service condition, if service condition change, then restart multimodal MPPT strategy.But this tracking also exists following deficiency:
1) implementation procedure needs the numerous information depending on photovoltaic array: the component type in photovoltaic array open-circuit voltage during shadow-free, short-circuit current, photovoltaic array, assembly series connection number etc., specifically refer to described in its step 1, the environmental suitability that this defect determines the method is not strong;
2) adopt the scanning of voltage close loop control realization photovoltaic array output power curve, must could be determined the position of maximum power point by point by point scanning, the process that result in dynamic scan is too slow;
3) what the Local Search in the method adopted is " disturbance observation method " and " conductance increment method ", and these two kinds of methods also exist dynamic process erroneous judgement, steady track process oscillation problem among a small circle, cause the accuracy of its dynamic stability and stable state not high;
4) basic ideas of the method are as described in IEEE document " A Study on a Two StageMaximum Power Point Tracking Control of a Photovoltaic System underPartially Shaded Insolation Conditions " in 2003 (a kind of two benches maximum power tracking method research of photovoltaic system " in the partial occlusion situation "---IEEE energy science in 2003 can plenary session collection of thesis), it can make erroneous judgement under part situation, namely the foundation " selecting the scope of the existence of overall MPP " does not generally adapt to, the result judged is wrong sometimes,
5) do not provide the detection of environment dynamic change, Rule of judgment that MPPT method is restarted, namely algorithm is incomplete.
What Chinese invention patent application prospectus CN103324239A " the quick optimization method of overall maximum power point of photovoltaic array under local shadow " disclosed in 25 days September in 2013 adopted is that " revising fruit bat algorithm " realizes global search, " improving Golden Section method " completes Local Search.Its main not foot point existed comprises:
1) the global search strategy adopted---" revising fruit bat algorithm " is similar to " PSO algorithm ", it is all a kind of evolution algorithm, though it has when hyperspace optimizing, there is the advantage of fast convergence rate, but in the face of the extremum search problem of photovoltaic array P-V curve, the performance of its rapidity is not obvious, and the search performance simultaneously " revising fruit bat algorithm " depends on the selection of initial work location, there is the situation that can not converge to global maximum power point;
2) what adopt is voltage close loop search, its implementation procedure also must adopt point by point scanning process, in search procedure, the performance number of a lot of working point is much smaller than peak power power of operating point, so loss of active power is larger, also there is the repeatedly fluctuation problem of quiescent potential simultaneously;
3) do not provide the detection of environment dynamic change, Rule of judgment that MPPT method is restarted, algorithm is incomplete.
