Abstract PV Module Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is a photovoltaic system that uses the photovoltaic array as a source of electrical power supply. Every photovoltaic (PV) array has an optimum operating point, called the maximum power point, which varies depending on cell temperature, the insulation level and array voltage. The function of MPPT is needed to operate the PV array at its maximum power point. The design of a Maximum Peak Power Tracking (MPPT) is proposed utilizing a cuk converter topology. Solar panel voltage and current are continuously monitored by a MPPT, and the duty cycle of the cuk converter continuously adjusted to extract maximum power. The design consists of a PV array, DC-DC cuk converter and many such algorithms have been proposed. However, one particular algorithm, the Incremental Conductance method, claimed by many in the literature to be inferior to others, continues to be by far the most widely used method in commercial PV MPPT’s. The general model was implemented on Mat lab, and accepts irradiance and temperature as variable parameters and outputs the I-V characteristic and P-V characteristic Index Terms: PV system; Maximum power point tracking (MPPT); Incremental conductance (Inccond); digital signal processor (dsp)

Integral sliding-mode controller for maximum power point tracking in the grid...IJECEIAES
The output power generated in the photovoltaic modules depends both on the solar radiation and the temperature of the solar cells. To maximize the efficiency of the system, it is required to monitor the maximum power point of the photovoltaic system. For this purpose, monitoring the maximum power point (MPPT) of photovoltaic systems should be as quick and accurately as possible for increasing energy production, which ultimately increases the cost-efficiency of the photovoltaic system. This paper proposes a new approach for MPPT) using the concept of the integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) to ensure fast and precise monitoring of the peak power. The performance of the ISMC is significantly influenced by the choice of the sliding surface. To assess the reliability ISMC control, the results have been compared with those of a PI controller. The results obtained are used to evaluate the performance of the ISMC strategy under different climatic conditions. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed solution is confirmed using simulations in PSIM tools and experimental results were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The present study explored an enhanced maximum power point tracking technique which ensures fast tracking in PV systems. This system represents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) MPPT technique. Extracting the maximum power from PV systems has been widely investigated. The main benefaction of this article is an improvement of the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method through a fixed step predictive control under measured fast solar radiation. The preferred predictive control to achieve Maximum Power Point (MPP) speeds up the control loop since it predicts error before the switching signal is applied to the DC-DC Luo converter. Comparing the improved technique to the conventional P&O method indicates significant improvement in PV system performance. The proposed MPC-MPPT technique for a Luo converter is implemented using the MAT LAB SIMULINK
Development of a Novel Robust Differential Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT...IJSRP Journal
The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasingly growing in importance since they involve an exploitation of solar radiation constituting an energy source which is renewable, available in most places, and pollution-free. Despite their numerous advantages, PV systems have two major drawbacks: low energy conversion efficiency and loss of energy due to variations in meteorological conditions; for this reason, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a key role in exploiting the maximum energy caught by PV modules. The output characteristic of a photovoltaic array is nonlinear and changes with solar irradiation and the cell’s temperature. Therefore, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to draw peak power from the solar array to maximize the produced energy. In this study we have analyzed the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method and finding out a new and easier way to track maximum power point (MPP) and also our study is focused to overcome the drawbacks of MPPT. This research paper presents a novel MPP tracking method for tracking exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) if the irradiation or load changes.

Abstract Maximum Power Point techniques (MPPT) of Photovoltaic array are used to continuously deliver highest possible power to the load when variation in solar irradiation and temperature occur. This is achieved by many algorithms such as perturbs and observer method, incremental conductance method, constant voltage method, fuzzy logic method, neural network etc. A DC/DC converter (boost, buck, Cuk) serves the purpose of transferring maximum power from the solar PV module to the load. In this project we compared perturb and observe method and incremental conductance method with DC-DC Buck converter by implementing hardware using Arduino Duemilanove as a prototype board. Key Words: MPPT, buck converter, solar voltage and current sensing, Incremental conductance method (INC), Perturb and Observe method, Matlab real time graph, and Arduino Duemilanove, Lead acid battery.
Inverter Design using PV System Boost ConverterIJMTST Journal
Many types of renewable energy, such as photovoltaic (PV), wind, tidal, and geothermal energy, have attracted a lot of attention over the past decade. Among these natural resources, the PV energy is a main and appropriate renewable energy for low-voltage dc-distribution systems, owing to the merits of clean, quiet, pollution free, and abundant. In the dc-distribution applications, a power system, including renewable distributed generators (DGS), dc loads (lighting, air conditioner, and electric vehicle), and a bidirectional inverter, is shown in fig. 1,in which two PV arrays with two maximum power point trackers (MPPTS) are implemented. However, the I–V characteristics of the PV arrays are nonlinear, and they require MPPTS to draw the maximum power from each PV array. Moreover, the bidirectional inverter has to fulfill grid connection (sell power) and rectification (buy power)with power-factor correction (PFC) to control the power flow between dc bus and ac grid,and to regulate the dc bus to a certain range of voltages, such as 380± 10 v.

For callus induction, auxins such as 2, 4-D, IAA, NAA alone and in combination with cytokinin BAP were used. The most effective medium for callus induction and shoot regeneration was M S medium fortified with 8mg/l BAP and 2mg/l NAA, on which multiple shoots were obtained after 15 days of callus induction. All the in vitro raised shoots with length of 3-5 cm were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with different concentrations of IBA.

Enhanced MPPT Technique For DC-DC Luo Converter Using Model Predictive Contro...IJERD Editor
The present study explored an enhanced maximum power point tracking technique which ensures fast tracking in PV systems. This system represents a Model Predictive Control (MPC) MPPT technique. Extracting the maximum power from PV systems has been widely investigated. The main benefaction of this article is an improvement of the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method through a fixed step predictive control under measured fast solar radiation. The preferred predictive control to achieve Maximum Power Point (MPP) speeds up the control loop since it predicts error before the switching signal is applied to the DC-DC Luo converter. Comparing the improved technique to the conventional P&O method indicates significant improvement in PV system performance. The proposed MPC-MPPT technique for a Luo converter is implemented using the MAT LAB SIMULINK
Development of a Novel Robust Differential Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT...IJSRP Journal
The use of photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasingly growing in importance since they involve an exploitation of solar radiation constituting an energy source which is renewable, available in most places, and pollution-free. Despite their numerous advantages, PV systems have two major drawbacks: low energy conversion efficiency and loss of energy due to variations in meteorological conditions; for this reason, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques play a key role in exploiting the maximum energy caught by PV modules. The output characteristic of a photovoltaic array is nonlinear and changes with solar irradiation and the cell’s temperature. Therefore, a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to draw peak power from the solar array to maximize the produced energy. In this study we have analyzed the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) method and finding out a new and easier way to track maximum power point (MPP) and also our study is focused to overcome the drawbacks of MPPT. This research paper presents a novel MPP tracking method for tracking exact Maximum Power Point (MPP) if the irradiation or load changes.

Photovoltaic Generator with Battery StorageIRJET Journal
This document describes a photovoltaic power generation system with battery storage. It uses maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to extract the maximum available power from the solar panels. The MPPT algorithm adjusts the duty cycle of a buck converter to match the optimal operating voltage of the solar panels. The battery acts as both a load for the solar panels during charging and an energy storage device. An inverter uses pulse width modulation to control the output voltage provided to alternating current loads from the stored battery power. Simulation results demonstrate how the duty cycle and battery charge/discharge change with solar irradiance levels and load connection to maintain a regulated output voltage.
This document provides a summary of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology for photovoltaic systems. It discusses modeling of solar cells and how their output is affected by irradiation and temperature. It also describes the basic operation of a boost converter used in MPPT systems. Several common MPPT algorithms are examined, including perturb and observe, incremental conductance, and other methods. Flow charts are provided to illustrate the perturb and observe and incremental conductance algorithms. The conclusion is that the incremental conductance method provides better performance than other methods under varying conditions.
Development and Analysis of Fuzzy Control for MPPT Based Photovoltaic SystemIJERD Editor
This document presents a study on developing and analyzing a fuzzy control system for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in a photovoltaic system. It proposes using a modified perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm with a fuzzy controller to track the maximum power point under varying conditions. The system is modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results show that the fuzzy controlled P&O method produces smoother output power with less fluctuation compared to the conventional P&O method.
This paper presents a maximum power point (MPP) tracking method based on a hybrid combination between the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and the conventional Perturb-and-Observe (P&O) method. The proposed algorithm utilizes the FLC to initialize P&O algorithm with an initial duty cycle. MATLAB/Simulink models consisting of, the photovoltaic system, boost converter and controllers, are built to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. To accurately illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, comparisons with standalone FLC and P&O are carried out. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated difficult weather conditions including sudden changes and partial shading. The results showed that the proposed algorithm successfully reaches MPP in all scenarios.

Abstract Maximum Power Point techniques (MPPT) of Photovoltaic array are used to continuously deliver highest possible power to the load when variation in solar irradiation and temperature occur. This is achieved by many algorithms such as perturbs and observer method, incremental conductance method, constant voltage method, fuzzy logic method, neural network etc. A DC/DC converter (boost, buck, Cuk) serves the purpose of transferring maximum power from the solar PV module to the load. In this project we compared perturb and observe method and incremental conductance method with DC-DC Buck converter by implementing hardware using Arduino Duemilanove as a prototype board. Key Words: MPPT, buck converter, solar voltage and current sensing, Incremental conductance method (INC), Perturb and Observe method, Matlab real time graph, and Arduino Duemilanove, Lead acid battery.
Inverter Design using PV System Boost ConverterIJMTST Journal
Many types of renewable energy, such as photovoltaic (PV), wind, tidal, and geothermal energy, have attracted a lot of attention over the past decade. Among these natural resources, the PV energy is a main and appropriate renewable energy for low-voltage dc-distribution systems, owing to the merits of clean, quiet, pollution free, and abundant. In the dc-distribution applications, a power system, including renewable distributed generators (DGS), dc loads (lighting, air conditioner, and electric vehicle), and a bidirectional inverter, is shown in fig. 1,in which two PV arrays with two maximum power point trackers (MPPTS) are implemented. However, the I–V characteristics of the PV arrays are nonlinear, and they require MPPTS to draw the maximum power from each PV array. Moreover, the bidirectional inverter has to fulfill grid connection (sell power) and rectification (buy power)with power-factor correction (PFC) to control the power flow between dc bus and ac grid,and to regulate the dc bus to a certain range of voltages, such as 380± 10 v.

An efficient protocol was devised for rapid callus induction and plantlet regeneration from the leaves of Orthosiphon aristatus. For callus induction, auxins such as 2, 4-D, IAA, NAA alone and in combination with cytokinin BAP were used. The most effective medium for callus induction and shoot regeneration was M S medium fortified with 8mg/l BAP and 2mg/l NAA, on which multiple shoots were obtained after 15 days of callus induction. All the in vitro raised shoots with length of 3-5 cm were transferred to rooting medium supplemented with different concentrations of IBA. The best rooting response was observed on half strength M S liquid medium supplemented with 3mg/l IBA. The established plantlets obtained were subjected to hardening and acclimatisation by transferring to polycups containing sterile soil for 3-4 weeks and then to the field, where
85% survived to maturity

Effect of Seismic Joint in the Performance of Multi-Storeyed L-Shaped BuildingIOSR Journals
The choices of building shapes and structural systems have significant effect on their seismic performance. While symmetrical buildings result in a fairly uniform distribution of seismic forces throughout its components. Unsymmetrical buildings result in highly indeterminate distribution of forces making the analysis and prediction more complicated. L-shaped buildings are among those unsymmetrical structures which are most commonly found in practice in the form of school, office, commercial buildings. In this work three dimensional models of L-shaped buildings are investigated for their seismic performance, varying bay length and storey height. These models were analysed for three conditions viz with gap, with seismic joint and with neither of these. The modeling of structures analysis is carried out using STAAD Pro V8i, also the performance is analysed providing brick infill and compared with, without infill condition. Performances is measured in terms of displacements, axial forces, bending moments, shear forces and compared for those conditions mentioned in the identified column viz., corner, intermediate and interior

Wireless and uninstrumented communication by gestures for deaf and mute based...IOSR Journals
Abstract: The fact that technology is advancing as per Moore’s law, the attention towards deaf and mute individuals with hi-tech technology is not much. Deaf and mute have to communicate through sign language even for pithy things. And also many people did not understand this language. Now-a-days gesture is becoming an increasingly popular means of interacting with computers. This paper sheds light of an proposed potential idea relying on latest technology named Wi-See which was developed in Washington, US. This technology actually uses our conventional Wi-Fi signals for home automation by gesture recognition. So, depending upon this hi-tech technology, my modified application idea is towards deaf and dumb, especially, one who cannot speak, but knows English language for communication. Since wireless signals do not require line-of-sight and can traverse through walls, proposed idea can be very useful to expressed views by speechless people without requiring instrumentation of the human body with sensing devices. The whole idea is based on Doppler shift in frequency of Wi-Fi signals. Instead of controlling home appliances as by Wi-See, this idea extends its view for speech or words through speakers installed. Each successive pattern of English alphabet generated by Doppler shift by gestures in air, can be recorded and matched with predefined pattern, which when processed, be outputed through speaker as combined letter word ,inspired by English digital dictionary having prediction and correction algorithm.

The document presents a modified pure radix sort algorithm for sorting large heterogeneous data sets. It discusses problems with traditional radix sort algorithms and previous work optimizing radix sort. The proposed algorithm divides the data into numeric and string clusters. It then distributes the numeric data into subsets of equal length which are sorted in parallel using an approach that bypasses certain digits in each pass. String data is sorted by assigning numbers to identical strings.

An efficient incentive of Nitrate and Fluoride on Organic highland cropping s...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Exerting necessitated concentrations of Nitrate and fluoride to the organic highland cropping
systems is a vital management technique. All the chemical elements of the earth’s crust occur in widely differing
omnipresent concentrations, due to their different nuclear chemical formation and geochemical history. The use
of biological nitrogen and fluoride inputs complicates its balancing act due to dandier uncertainty in inorganic
Nitrogen and Fluoride availability. The growers to strike maintain Nitrogen provisioning to support crop
growth and retention of limit pollution followed by fluoride associated soils. Due to various activities of the man
in domestic field, agriculture area and industrial establishment the environment around us consisting soil, water
and air gets polluted. Fluoride inexhaustible concentrations forbid the growth of crop even though nitrates
reposit in the cultivated soils. The purpose of this project was to establish kinetics when nitro fluorides
associated in the highland soils to different crop systems towards environmental pollutions. Cordia Africana
and alfalfa are the plants which make soil to get enrichment of Nitrates and deescalate of concentrations of
fluorides from cultivated soils through its decomposition. This entire study went on its conventionally tilled
crops followed by Cordia Africana and alfalfa stems and leaf particles. Surface soil nitrate concentrations were
measured weekly, biweekly by volumetric analysis and nitrate leaching was estimated from tension Lysimeters
which were buried at the soil bedrock interface. Subsequently by using Orion 720A fluoride ion meter, deescalated
concentrations of fluorides have been measured. The demonstrated concentrations of Soil in NO3
variables, coefficients of variations from the mean concentrations across all samplings have been recorded
sporadically. The total area of the soil bed was maintained the same PH values until project was completed by
weigh Lysimeters. The timing of elevated Nitrate concentrations (10-15PPM) and the concentrations of fluoride
in deeper soil water corresponds with fallow periods. These dynamics will assist growers in adapting the timing
management operations and reduces nitrate departures.

Self-Medication of Anti-Biotics amongst University Students of Islamabad: Pre...IOSR Journals
The prevalence and pattern of self-medication with antibiotics among undergraduate and graduate community of students at different universities of Islamabad was evaluated using structured self-medication administered questionnaire. This cross-sectional, study was conducted in March 2013. A convenience sample was taken from 4 non-medical universities of the city of Islamabad, Pakistan. Data was analyzed using SPSS v14 and associations were tested using the Chi square test. A total of 210 questionnaires were randomly distributed with a respondent rate of 100%. The prevalence of self-medication was found to be 77.03% (Female: Male Ratio=1:1.14). The major reasons given for self-medicating with antibiotics were; 33.63% assumed knowledge on antibiotics (P=0.478), 26.64% prior experience on use (P=0.378), while 9.17% admitted lack of time to go for consultation (P=0.130). Majority of respondents however, self-medicate with antibiotics occasionally. The most reported antibiotic class (48.58%) was the β-lactams (as amoxicillin) while co-trimoxazole was rarely used (2.23%). The most reported condition for self-medication was respiratory tract infections (59%). About almost half of the respondents (46.79%) purchased the drugs from drug stores. These findings highlight the needs for planning interventions to promote the judicious use of antibiotics within the student population
Bioconversion of Penicillin to CephalosporinIOSR Journals
Cephalosporins are known as 3rd generation broad spectrum Beta lactam antibiotics, which can also be produced synthetically. Commonly, chemical ring expansion followed by an enzymatic removal of the phenylacetyl side chain is commonly employed to convert penicillin G into 7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid, the precursor for the manufacture of semisynthetic cephalosporins. This process requires several steps, is expensive and highly polluting. Thus there is a need to device a simple biological route to replace the chemical process. A mutant of Streptomyces clavuligerus NP1 was reported to converts Penicillin G to Deacetoxycephalosporin G (DAOG;phenylacetyl-7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid) enzymatically[5,8] . This enzyme, deacetoxycephalosporin synthase has the potential for the large scale transformation of Penicillin G to deacetoxycephalosporin. The present work studies the conditions required for efficient transformation of Penicillin G to Deacetoxycephalosporin using the wild type strain Streptomyces clavuligerus . Detection of cephalosporin was carried out using various methods. Additionally succinic acid formation was also studied as it could be used as a commercially important by product of the transformation. Deacetoxycephalosporin synthase also extracted and partially purified and characterised.

The HSOM algorithm segments the MR image into affected and unaffected cells in two phases - pre-processing to remove noise from the image, followed by applying the HSOM algorithm. Experimental results on test images show the number of affected cells detected and execution time for segmentation using HSOM. The algorithm accurately segments tumors and counts affected cells compared to ground truths.
Shrinkage of Polyester Fibre in Selected Chlorinated Solvents and Effects on ...IOSR Journals
Polyester fibres were isothermally treated with four chlorinated solvents; perchloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE) and tetrachloromethane (TCM). Measurement of the longitudinal shrinkage of the treated fibres was carried out at room temperature for 30, 60, 150, 300, 450, 600, 750, 900 and 1800 seconds that was found to be sufficient to establish dynamic equilibrium conditions for each of the solvents. From the results, a trend of 1,1-DCE > PCE > TCE > TCM was observed for the shrinkage values which showed that the solvents exhibited behaviour that cannot be explained in terms of the variations in their boiling points and molecular weights values. Solubility parameter values (δ) of the solvents were however, found to be the overriding factor as it followed the above trend. The treatment has been able to provide a means of improving polyester fibre structure to suit its use in commercial applications and also revealed that the best among the four solvents in term of effecting minimal change on the structure and quality of the fabric during laundry will be TCM.

Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used to extract the maximum available power from photovoltaic modules by operating them at the voltage where power output is highest. This is done by periodically adjusting the module operating voltage to match the maximum power point, which varies based on solar irradiance and temperature. Common MPPT techniques include Perturb and Observe and Incremental Conductance methods, which use hill-climbing algorithms to track the maximum power point.

This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

Abstract: A sliding mode controller is used to estimate the maximum power point as a reference for it to track
that point and force the PV system to operate in this point. In sliding mode control, the trajectories of the system
are forced to reach a sliding manifold of surface, where it exhibit desirable features, in finite time and to stay on
the manifold for all future time. The load is composed of a battery bank. It is obtained by controlling the duty
cycle of a DC-DC converter using sliding mode control. This method has the advantage that it will guarantee
the maximum output power possible by the array configuration while considering the dynamic parameters solar
irradiance and delivering more power to charge the battery.
The proposed system with sliding mode control is tested using MATLAB / SIMULINK platform in
which a maximum power is tracked under constant and varying solar irradiance and delivered to the battery
which increasing the current that is charging the battery and reduces the charging time.
Keywords— Sliding manifold, Solar irradiance, Photo voltaic system.
I. INTRODUCTION
Photo Voltaic (PV) systems are used as energy source in many cases. Most commonly applied PV
systems can be found in remote and rural areas where no public grid is available. Photovoltaic is the technology
that uses solar cells or an array of them to convert solar light directly into electricity. The power produced by the
array depends directly form factors that are not controlled by the human being as the cell‟s temperature and
solar irradiance. Usually the energy generated by these solar cells is used to provide electricity to a load and the
remaining energy is saved into batteries. Photovoltaic cells have a single operating point where the values of the
current and voltage of the cell result in a maximum power output.
By connecting the PV cell directly to a load or a battery, the output power can be severely reduced due
to load mismatching or, in case of a battery, load voltage mismatching. Since this operating point depends on
factors like temperature, solar irradiance and load impedance, a device capable of tracking the maximum power
point and force the PVM to operate at that point is required. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is a
device capable of search for the point of maximum power and, using DC-DC converters, extracts the maximum
power available by the cell [3-6]. By controlling the duty cycle of the switching frequency of the converter we
can change the equivalent voltage of the cell and by that, its equivalent resistance into the one in which the PVM
is in the maximum power operating point[1-2].
II. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
2.1. Photo Voltaic System
A typical small photovoltaic power system (off-grid) can contain the following components: solar PV
array, with a number of series/parallel interconnected solar modules and protection elements, a DC/DC
converter, a DC/AC inverter and a control system.[3-5]
Figure.A.1 Basic Structure of Photo Voltaic System
The target of control system is that the PV array will maximize the electrical power with a given
irradiance. The control should guarantee that the dc power will be transformed with high efficiency to the load.
In order to archive the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array, it is necessary maintain it at their optimum

2. Maximum Power Point Tracking of DC To DC Boost Converter Using Sliding Mode Control
point operating. The MPP varies with the solar radiation and the temperature. The characteristic curves specify a
unique operating point at which maximum possible power is delivered. At the MPP, the PV system operates at
its highest efficiency.
A control that regulates the voltage of the DC/DC converter and maximizes the power generated by the
photovoltaic array will be presented. The system consists of three closed loops, two inner loops and one outer
loop. The DC/DC converter has a control loop which regulates the output voltage irrespective of the input
voltage variations, and a sliding mode control that searches the maximum power point of the PV array. The
proposed system has an independent control loop for the PWM inverter.
In this control system, it is necessary to measure the PV array output power and to change the duty
cycle of the DC/DC converter control signal. So, the PV array output power is measured and compared to the
previous PV array output power. Depending on the result of the comparison, the optimal reference current of
sliding mode control is changed and the process is repeated until the maximum power is reached.[7-9]
2.2. DC to DC Boost Converter
The state-space model of the boost converter that will be used to evaluate the sliding mode control is
presented. A boost converter is simply is a particular type of power converter with an output DC. This type of
circuit is used to „step-up‟ a source voltage to a higher, regulated voltage, allowing one power supply to provide
different driving voltages. The basic boost converter circuit consists of only a switch (typically a transistor), an
inductor, and a capacitor
Figure.B.1 Boost Converter
Applying Kirchhoff‟s rules around the loops, it can obtain the ideal mathematical model of this circuit:
where iL is the current across the inductor, vo is the voltage in the capacitor. Parameters R , L and C are
supposed to be known constants. uϵ{0,1} defines the switch position and VPV is voltage supplied by
photovoltaic array. The gain from the boost converter is directly proportional to the duty cycle ( D ), or the time
the switch is „on‟ each cycle.
When boost converter is used in PV applications, the voltage input change continuously with
atmospheric conditions. Therefore, the duty cycle should change to track the maximum power point of
photovoltaic array. This converter should support input voltages in a wide range from 100 to 325 V. Under such
conditions, the duty ratio D is adjusted to regulate the output voltage at 400 V. For the given range, D is in a
range of [0.76-0.20] and the output current is maximum when D = 0.33. The 400 Volts obtained at boost
converter are applied to an IGBT two-level inverter to generate a sinusoidal output voltage of 50 Hz. The IGBT
inverter uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) at a 1050 Hz carrier frequency. The circuit is discretized at a
sample time of 1μs. The IGBT inverter is controlled with a PI regulator in order to maintain to 230 Vrms, 50 Hz
at the load terminals.
2.3. Maximum Power Point Tracking
A technique to utilize effectively the photovoltaic is known as a maximum-power- point tracking
(MPPT) method, which makes it possible to acquire as much power as possible from the photovoltaic. Since an
electric characteristic of the output power to the operating voltage or current has a convex property, there exists
only one optimum operating point on the power-voltage (or current) curve. The MPPT is a method to let the
controller operate at the above-mentioned optimum operating point. There have been various kinds of MPPT
methods reported and the most common technique of them is a hill-climbing method, which seeks the optimum
operating point by changing the operating voltage or current until the power becomes the maximum. Therefore,
this method essentially requires power calculation using both the voltage sensor and the current sensor.

2.3.1 Working of MPPT
MPPT is not a mechanical tracking system that “physically moves” the modules to make them point
more directly at the sun [3-6]. MPPT is a fully electronic system that varies the electrical operating point of the
modules so that the modules are able to deliver maximum available power. Additional power harvested from the
modules is then made available as increased battery charge current. MPPT can be used in conjunction with a
mechanical tracking system, but the two systems are completely different.
To understand how MPPT works, let‟s first consider the operation of a conventional (non-MPPT)
charge controller. When a conventional controller is charging a discharged battery, it simply connects the
modules directly to the battery. This forces the modules to operate at battery voltage, typically not the ideal
operating voltage at which the modules are able to produce their maximum available power.
Rather than simply connecting the module to the battery, the patented MPPT system in a Solar Boost
charge controller calculates the voltage at which the module is able to produce maximum power.[8-9].
2.4. Sliding Mode Control
Sliding mode control (SMC) is an important robust control approach. It is method which
transformed a higher-order system into first-order system. For the class of systems to which it applies, sliding
mode controller design provides a systematic approach to the problem of maintaining stability and consistent
performance in the face of modeling imprecision. On the other hand, by allowing the tradeoffs between
modeling and performance to be quantified in a simple fashion, it can illuminate the whole design process [11-
15].
Essentially, sliding mode control utilizes discontinuous feedback control laws to force the system state
to reach, and subsequently to remain on, a specified surface within the state space (the so called sliding or
switching surface). The system dynamic when confined to the sliding surface is described as an ideal sliding
motion and represents the controlled system behavior.
The design of the sliding mode control law can be divided in two phases:
1. Phase 1 consists in the construction of a suitable sliding surface so that the dynamic of the system confined to
the sliding manifold produces a desired behavior;
2. Phase 2 entails the design of a discontinuous control law which forces the system trajectory to the sliding
surface and maintains it there.
2.4.1 Sliding Mode Voltage Controlled (SMVC) Buck Converter
One of the most important features of sliding mode regime in variable structure systems (VSS) is the
ability to achieve responses that are independent of the system parameters, the only limit being the canonical
form description of the system. From this point of view, the Buck DC/DC converter is suitable for the
application of the SMC. The main advantage of this approach is that the switching frequency is constant under
all operating conditions, and it is easily controllable through varying the ramp signal. Basically, there are two
methods of implementing this constant frequency operation.
Sliding mode control implies that control actions are discontinuous state functions, which may easily
be implemented by conventional power converters with On-Off as the only admissible operation mode. Sliding
mode control has been proved to be applicable to a wide range of problems in robotics, electric drives and
generators, process control, vehicle and motion control. A sliding mode controller for buck converter is
proposed in this paper. A simple and easy to follow design procedure is described. Simulation results are
presented to explore the potentials of Sliding mode control for Buck converter.[10-12]
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM
3.1. Maximum Power Point Tracking Using Sliding Mode Controller
The proposed model will guarantee the extraction of the maximum power that can be produced by the
PVM while regulating the load voltage to the battery‟s voltage. That way we can have a workable load voltage
that can be connected to an inverter while matching the load resistance to the PV optimal resistance. The system
use a PV array (s x p) composed of s in series cells and p in parallel cells. It is then connected to a DC-DC
converter in order to increase or decrease the desired voltage. It is then connected directly to the load, which is
composed of a 12 V battery. The duty cycle of the converter is controlled by a sliding mode controller [1].

can be found in the manufacturer‟s data sheet. Also it shows how the PV power is affected by changes in the
temperature and solar irradiance.

V. CONCLUSION
The investigation demonstrates that the proposed sliding mode controller uses a non inverting Buck-
Boost converter in order to easily change the operation mode of the converter that can be necessary if the
optimal voltage of the PV module is lower than the battery voltage. The proposed algorithm is capable of
calculating the optimal voltage with little error.
The proposed controller only requires the array output voltage and the optimal voltage which is
continuously computed. From the simulation results is evident that a maximum power is tracked and achieved
by the proposed sliding mode controller under constant and varying solar irradiance delivered with the losses in
the converter, to the battery increasing the current that is charging the battery which, eventually, will reduce the
charging time.
