Abstract
The solar photovoltaic battery is a very important new type of renewable distributed energy. But its output power is directly affected by the light intensity and temperature. Its voltage-current characteristics have obvious nonlinear features. Therefore, a new MPPT technology based on the model predictive control (MPC) is proposed in this paper. The simulation results show that the method can quickly track the maximum power point under the practical environmental conditions, and improve the energy conversion efficiency of the system.
