Abstract

In the photovoltaic system, the performance, efficiency, and generated power of the PV system are affected by changes in the environment, disturbances, and parameter variations, and this leads to a deviation from the operating maximum power point (MPP) of the PV system. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to ensure the PV system operates at the maximum power point under the influence of exogenous disturbances and uncertainties, i.e., no matter how the irradiation, temperature, and load of the PV system change, by proposing a maximum power point tracking for the photovoltaic system (PV) based on the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) paradigm. The proposed method provides better performance with excellent tracking for the MPP by controlling the duty cycle of the DC–DC buck converter. Moreover, comparison simulations have been performed between the proposed method and the linear ADRC (LADRC), conventional ADRC, and the improved ADRC (IADRC) to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, the simulation results validated the accuracy of the proposed method in tracking the desired value and disturbance/uncertainty attenuation with excellent response and minimum output performance index (OPI).
