Abstract

Development of an effective maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is important in order to achieve maximum power point in a photovoltaic system (PV). In this study, a dynamic neural control (DNC) scheme is developed. The adaptation procedure is based on the back propagation learning law and is required only a priori knowledge, that´s, the system output error. The feasibility of the proposed neural control is evaluated by the simulation results and compared to the conventional perturbation and observation (P&O) method.
