RT Journal Article T1 Wireless Sliding MPPT Control of Photovoltaic Systems in Distributed Generation Systems A1 Delgado Martín, Aránzazu A1 Cano, Juan M. A1 Sánchez Herrera, María Reyes A1 Rodríguez Vázquez, Jesús AB The aim of a photovoltaic (PV) system’s control is the extraction of the maximum powereven if the irradiance, the temperature, or the parameters vary. To do that, a maximum powerpoint tracking (MPPT) algorithm is required. In this work, a sliding control is designed to regulatethe PV modules’ output voltage and make the panel work at the maximum power voltage. Thiscontrol is selected to improve the robustness, the transient dynamic response, and the time responseof the system under changeable environmental conditions, adjusting the duty cycle of the DC/DCconverter. The DC/DC converter connected to the PV module output is a buck-boost converter. Thisconfiguration presents the advantage of providing voltages lower or higher than supplied by thephotovoltaic modules to provide the required voltage to the load (including the voltages ceded bytelecommunication loads, amongst others). In addition, a remote sliding control is developed to makethe global supervision of the PV system in distributed generation grids. The designed algorithm istested in an experimental platform, both locally and remotely connected to the base station, to provethe e ectiveness of the sliding control. Thus, the communication e ect in the control is also analyzed.
