Nowadays, solar or
photovoltaic energy is the most commonly used renewable energy resources in the
world. Despite its advantages such as freely available, low maintenance cost,
pollution-free, inexhaustible, and reliable, its low conversion efficiency is a
major drawback. To increase the efficiency of the photovoltaic system, all
photovoltaic modules in the array must be operated at maximum power point.
Therefore, maximum power point tracking technique is used for predicting and
tracking the maximum power point. In the literature, maximum power point
tracking techniques are generally classified as soft computing and
conventional. Soft computing techniques are more preferred from both of them,
because they can accurately track maximum power point of photovoltaic systems.
In this study, an extensive review of soft computing based maximum power point
tracking techniques under partial shading conditions until today is presented.
The techniques are compared from the point of photovoltaic array dependency,
sensors required, tracking efficiency, tracking speed, algorithm complexity,
and oscillation around maximum power point.

PV SİSTEMLERDE KISMİ GÖLGELENME KOŞULLARINDA ESNEK HESAPLAMA TABANLI MAKSİMUM GÜÇ NOKTASI İZLEME TEKNİKLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Öz

Günümüzde güneş ya da fotovoltaik enerji yenilenebilir enerji
kaynakları arasında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Güneş enerjisi, maliyetsiz,
atmosfer dostu,  işletme ve bakım
maliyetinin az olması ve evrensel olarak her yerde bulunması gibi avantajlarına
rağmen, düşük enerji verimliliği en büyük dezavantajıdır. Fotovoltaik
sistemlerin verimliliğini arttırabilmek için fotovoltaik dizideki modüller
maksimum güç noktalarında çalıştırılmalıdır. Bu nedenle, maksimum güç noktasını
tahmin etmek ve izlemek için maksimum güç noktası izleme teknikleri kullanılır.
Literatürde, maksimum güç noktası izleme teknikleri genellikle esnek hesaplama
ve klasik teknikler olmak üzere sınıflandırılır. Ancak, maksimum güç noktasını
doğru bir şekilde takip edebildikleri için esnek hesaplama teknikleri tercih
edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, geçmişten günümüze kadar kısmi gölgeleme
koşullarında esnek hesaplama tabanlı maksimum güç noktası izleme tekniklerinin
kapsamlı bir derlemesi sunulmuştur. Teknikler, fotovoltaik dizi bağımlılığı,
gereken sensörler, takip verimliliği, takip hızı, algoritma karmaşıklığı ve
maksimum güç noktası etrafında salınım durumları açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.
