Abstract

This paper presents a novel algorithm to pick PV-based pumping system operating points that simultaneously achieve maximum delivered power and optimized stability. We present an in-depth analysis of operating point dynamics and shape the PV output current and voltage parameter plans. Accordingly, we draw the power bifurcation diagram with all possible operating points. Our proposed algorithm picks the power operating point midway between two consecutive stable points and far enough from the stability boundary to assure system safety. We validated our methodology successfully by numerical simulation based on speculative evidence using MATCON/MATLAB/SimPowerSystems blocks. In addition, we compared the proposed algorithm with P&O MPPT algorithm, and the results verified the reliability of our proposed algorithm to deliver maximum stable power.
