Abstract

PURPOSE: To simplify the hardware by decreasing an extracted current when a product between a differentiated output power and a differentiated output voltage is positive and increasing the extracted current when the product between the differentiated output power and the differentiated output voltage is negative so as to shift the operating point toward a maximum power point. CONSTITUTION: The product between the differentiated output power of a solar battery and the differentiated output voltage is always positive in a region where an operating point is less than an optimum operating voltage Vopt and always negative in a region where the operating point is more than the optimum operating voltage Vopt. When the product is positive, the output power is increased by reducing the extracted current to shift the operating point toward the maximum power point Pmax. Conversely, when the product is negative, the output power is decreased by increasing the extracted current to shift the operating point toward the maximum power point Pmax. Thus, the battery is operated so that the operating point traces the maximum power Pmax at all times for optional solar insolation intensity not relying on past history.

In the case of (1), since the operating point is far from the maximum power point P max , the differential value of the output power is negative, and the output voltage is also low, so the differential value of the output voltage is also negative. As a result, the product of the differential value of the output power and the differential value of the output voltage is positive. In this case, the differential value of the output power is negative because the operating point is far from the maximum power point P max, but the differential value of the output voltage is positive because the output voltage is increasing, and the differential value of the output power is The product of the differential value and the differential value of the output voltage is negative. Similarly, in case of, the product of differential values is positive, and in case of, the product of differential values is negative.

[0008] Thus, the product of the calculated differential value is always positive in the following areas optimum operating voltage V opt is the operating point, always negative in optimum operating voltage V opt more regions. Therefore, when the product of the differential values is positive, the output power is increased by decreasing the extraction current value,
It suffices to move the operating point to the maximum power point P max . Conversely, when the product of the differential values is negative, the output current is decreased by increasing the extraction current value, and the operating point is changed to the maximum power point P max.
Just move it to max . In this way, according to the present invention, it is possible to operate so that the operating point always tracks the maximum power point P max at any insolation intensity without relying on past memory.
