Improve LVRT capability of organic solar arrays by using chaos-based NMPC

Öz

Electric utilities are continuously scheduling to develop power grids in order to supply the electrical energy demanded by their consumers. The common method is the construction of traditional power plants or development of existing infrastructures. The challenges associated with using fossil fuel, such as environmental pollution and climate changing like glacier melting and rising sea levels, highlight the importance of using green energy sources like photovoltaic systems. In other side, extracting the maximum power under intermittent generated power has a great importance. So, a novel chaotic-based nonlinear model predictive control method is introduced for tracking the maximum power point of organic photovoltaic cells. The proposed approach involves estimating a reference point and adjusting the operating point by using a Lagrangian function. Also, chaotic-based nonlinear model predictive controller is used for controlling the operation of boost converter. According to obtained results, the proposed approach capable of fast tracking as well as improving the ride through capacity.
