Abstract :
The one-cycle control (OCC) technique developed in the UCI Power Electronics Laboratory is a simple and powerful method for renewable power conversion. OCC performs pulse-width modulation and sawtooth slope modulation, which results in accurate, fast, and stable control of nonlinear switching dynamics. Renewable energy generated from solar panels and wind turbines is wild in nature. A power converter is required to convert the solar power or wind power respectively to that acceptable to the power grid. In both cases, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is desirable to maximize the power extraction.
