Definitions
- the present invention relates to a solar power generation system, and is particularly effective when applied to a solar cell control device that employs a maximum power point tracking control method that efficiently extracts generated power from solar cells even when the amount of solar radiation changes rapidly.
- Examples of conventional control devices that employ a maximum power point tracking control system (Maximum Power Point Tracking: MPPT) of solar cells include the techniques described in Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Documents 1 and 2.

- the voltage value to be set in the next MPPT is determined by measuring and storing power at three points and dividing the magnitude relationship between the three power points into three types. (FIGS. 5, 9, and 10 of Patent Document 1). For example, if the target relationship of the three powers is monotonically increasing, the next search voltage is expanded in the positive voltage direction, and if it is monotonically decreasing, the next search voltage is not changed in the negative voltage direction. Move to.
- the search width step is increased to enable high-speed tracking.
