- MPPT maximum power point tracking
- Energy harvesting is a technology that harvests natural energy generated around us and converts it into electrical energy.
- a representative example is a solar power generation facility that converts collected sunlight into electrical energy and supplies it.
- MPPT maximum power tracking
- One of the conventional MPPT algorithms is the P&O (Perturbation & Observation) algorithm set in solar inverters.
- the P&O algorithm is a method of tracking the maximum point of the P-V curve (power-voltage curve) by gradually reducing or increasing the output voltage of the solar array and comparing the before and after power values.
- the existing P&O algorithm has a problem in that, as the number of maximum points increases, the speed and accuracy of MPPT are significantly reduced while the phenomenon of vibration increases. In other words, it is efficient in the P-V curve with one maximum point, but when it has multiple maximum points, it is difficult to determine which maximum point is the maximum power point, so the performance and results of MPPT cannot be guaranteed.
- VOLTAGE NOISE occurs in the process of changing current or voltage, and as a result, there is a risk that duty may be controlled in the wrong direction if an error occurs in voltage measurement.
- the present invention is intended to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and provides energy harvesting that generates maximum power at all times by achieving fast and accurate MPPT through a DC-DC converter of a double loop circuit with different operating bandwidth. The purpose is to do so.

- the first correction value applied to the Nth plus or The minus operator sign is maintained as is in the N+1th output stage, and the Nth output stage power is greater than the N-1th output stage power, but if the N+1th output stage power is less than the Nth output stage power, the 1st output stage applied to the Nth The operation sign opposite to the plus or minus operation sign of the correction value is applied to the N+1th operation.
- the auxiliary loop circuit determines the Nth reference voltage by plus or minus the first correction value to the N-1th reference voltage, and provides the Nth reference voltage to the main loop circuit. .

- the calculation of the second correction value is performed so that when the input voltage is lower than the previous input voltage, the duty ratio is lower than the previous input voltage, so that the input voltage is greater than the previous input voltage.
- the duty ratio is performed so that it is greater than the previous duty ratio, so that the input voltage is maintained constant.
- the DC-DC converter calculates the Nth reference voltage by reflecting the second correction value for the N-1th reference voltage through a feedback loop, thereby reducing the input voltage. This is to prevent separation between and the reference voltage.
- the main loop cycle is a one-time process in which the main loop circuit calculates the difference between the reference voltage and the input voltage of the buck converter and controls the duty ratio of the buck converter.
- the auxiliary loop circuit calculates a power difference value according to the power change of the output terminal of the buck converter and corrects the reference voltage based on the power difference value
- the main loop cycle is executed multiple times, the auxiliary loop cycle is executed once.
- the MPPT direction is determined only according to whether the power increases or decreases, not the direction of the increase or decrease of the voltage.
- the maximum power point can be found more quickly and accurately, and it is easy to deal with the occurrence of vibration or noise.
- the input voltage of the DC-DC converter is fixed and the output power is maintained, so the voltage does not drop sharply no matter what current is required within the limit capacity.

- the inverter in MPPT in the existing energy harvesting system, the maximum power point is tracked by the inverter, and the process of adjusting the output voltage of the DC-DC converter to the maximum power voltage determined through this is carried out in one cycle. Therefore, there was a restriction that the inverter had to operate within a preset frequency (e.g., 60 Hz) depending on the system connected to it.

- Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an auxiliary loop circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the auxiliary loop circuit 110 may include a power calculation unit 111, a power difference calculation unit 112, and a reference voltage correction unit 113.
- the power calculation unit 111 calculates the power of the output stage of the buck converter 130 and transfers it to the power difference calculation unit 112, and the power difference calculation unit 112 calculates the received output stage power and the previous output stage power.
- the difference is calculated and transmitted to the reference voltage correction unit 113, and the reference voltage correction section 113 corrects the reference voltage applied to the main loop circuit 120 to the current maximum power voltage based on the received power difference. do.

That is, the power calculated by the power calculation unit 111 may be the product of the input voltage (V in ) and the input current (I in ) or the product of the output voltage (V out ) and the output current (V in ).
- the law of energy conservation is satisfied, and even if there is some power loss during the direct current conversion process, it can be excluded as it is within the error range.
- the power calculation unit 111 may calculate the output power of the buck converter 130 at least once during the auxiliary loop cycle.
- high reliability of MPPT can be secured by deriving the output power using the current and voltage of the input and output terminals measured several times.

Calculate the power difference between the power of the Nth output stage.
- the reference voltage correction unit 113 generates a first correction value based on the power difference received from the power difference calculation unit 112 and applies the reference voltage (V) to the main loop circuit 120.
- ref ) reflects the first correction value.
- the first correction value is a value that corrects the reference voltage (V ref ) so that the reference voltage (V ref ) approaches the maximum power voltage.
- the first correction value is plus or minus the N-1th reference voltage through the auxiliary loop circuit 110 to determine the Nth reference voltage, which is provided to the main loop circuit 120.
- the reference voltage correction unit 113 calculates the reference voltage by adding or subtracting the first correction value to the previous reference voltage so that the output power of the buck converter 130 reaches the currently tracked maximum power.
- the voltage (V ref ) is stored as the currently tracked maximum power voltage and transmitted to the main loop circuit 120.
- V ref the reference voltage (V ref ) is continuously maintained close to the maximum power voltage due to tracking of the maximum power point on the auxiliary loop circuit 110, which means that the input voltage (V in ) in the main loop circuit 120 is the maximum power. It guides you to follow the voltage, and related details will be described later using FIG. 4.
- the sign of the first correction value during calculation is based on the power difference received from the power difference calculation unit 112, and determines whether the output stage power increases or decreases, or whether there is a change in the increase or decrease flow of the output stage power. Depending on this, it is determined as a plus sign (+) or minus sign (-).
- the control applied to the Nth is maintained as is for the N+1th time.
- the operation code remains the same.
- the control applied to the Nth output stage is 1
- the operation sign opposite to the plus or minus operation sign of the correction value is applied to the N+1th.
- the tracking direction is determined solely based on the change in power, not the increase or decrease in voltage. Therefore, even if there are multiple maximum points in the P-V curve, the phenomenon of progressing in the wrong direction does not occur, and the maximum power point can be accurately found without being affected by vibration or noise.
- Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the main loop circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the main loop circuit 120 may include an operation unit 121 and a duty ratio control unit 122.
- the calculation unit 121 calculates the difference between the reference voltage received from the auxiliary loop circuit 110 and the input voltage of the buck converter 130, and the duty ratio control unit 122 adjusts the duty ratio of the PWM to offset this difference. By controlling, the input voltage is maintained at the reference voltage.
- the calculation unit 121 calculates the difference between the currently measured input voltage (V in ) and the currently set reference voltage (V ref ). That is, how far the current input voltage (V in ) is from the maximum power voltage, which is the reference voltage (V ref ), is determined and transmitted to the duty ratio control unit 122 .
- the duty ratio control unit 122 calculates the second correction value based on the difference received from the calculation unit 121.
- the second correction value may mean a duty ratio control value for correcting the input voltage (V in ) so that the input voltage (V in ) reaches the reference voltage (V ref ).
- the duty ratio control unit 122 controls the duty ratio for the PWM signal of the buck converter 130 based on the second correction value.
- the calculation for the second correction value is such that when the current input voltage (V in ) is lower than the previous input voltage, the current input voltage (V in ) is lower than the previous input voltage so that the current duty ratio is smaller than the previous duty ratio. If it is greater than the voltage, it can be performed so that the current duty ratio is greater than the previous duty ratio.
- the duty ratio control unit 122 increases the duty ratio to decrease the input voltage (V in ) when it increases, and performs control to reduce the duty ratio to increase it when the input voltage (V in ) decreases. Accordingly, the input voltage can be kept constant by being fixed to the reference voltage (V ref ), which is the currently tracked maximum power voltage.
- the current flowing to the input terminal is also fixed. Accordingly, the power generated at the input terminal of the buck converter 130 is also fixed to a constant level.
- the power at the input terminal and the power at the output terminal in the buck converter 130 are the same, so the power at the output terminal is also fixed to a constant. Since power is the product of current and voltage, when power is fixed, an inverse relationship is established with the output current (I out ) for the output voltage (V out ) below the reference voltage (V ref ). In other words, instead of the conventional non-linear IV characteristic, it is converted to a linear IV characteristic in which the voltage applied to the output stage decreases when the current flowing through the output stage increases.
- the DC-DC converter 100 can be stably driven no matter how much current flows as long as it is within the limit capacity of the circuit.
- the current and voltage at the output terminal of the buck converter 130 have an inverse relationship below the reference voltage (V ref ), so the PV curve below the reference voltage (V ref ) has a gentle slope.
- V ref reference voltage
- the reference voltage (V ref ) is the maximum power voltage (V MP ) provided from the auxiliary loop circuit 110, and the slope of the PV curve below the reference voltage (V ref ) is used to maintain maximum power. is preferably designed to be “0”.
- the voltage (V out ) applied to the output terminal of the buck converter 130 is a voltage lower than the reference voltage (V ref ). Therefore, according to the above-described embodiment, since the PV curve is saturated below the reference voltage (V ref ), the maximum power output can be maintained at all times to achieve maximum efficiency of energy harvesting.
- the main loop cycle can be designed faster than the auxiliary loop cycle at a ratio of k:1.
- the main loop operates with a faster bandwidth than the auxiliary loop.
- the ratio is 5:1
- the loop that keeps the input voltage (V in ) constant at the maximum power voltage during the auxiliary loop cycle operates 5 times faster. Therefore, even if the current is suddenly pulled at the output terminal or the power at the input terminal is suddenly reduced, the maximum power voltage is maintained constant, so a sudden deviation from the maximum power does not occur.
- MPPT can be performed at a significantly faster speed than before, and at the same time can maintain accurate maximum power output.
- the DC-DC converter 100 may further include a feedback loop that prevents separation between the input voltage (V in ) and the reference voltage (V ref ).
- the main loop circuit 120 may transmit the second correction value calculated based on the N-1th reference voltage to the auxiliary loop circuit 120.
- the auxiliary loop circuit 120 performs correction to reflect the received second correction value to the N-th reference voltage by adding or subtracting the second correction value. can do. In this way, even in an unexpected situation where the input power suddenly changes due to internal or external causes, the input voltage (V in ) is not too far from the reference voltage (V ref ), preventing an error in which the MPPT proceeds in the wrong direction. there is.
- FIG. 5 is an example diagram schematically showing the operation process of the MPPT algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention
- FIG. 6 is an operation flowchart of the MPPT algorithm according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- steps S61 to S65 are a process of finding the maximum power point and are performed every auxiliary loop cycle
- step S66 is a process of fixing the voltage applied to the input terminal of the buck converter to the maximum power voltage derived in step S65 and are performed every main loop cycle.
- the main loop cycle can operate multiple times (k, k is a number greater than 1). In other words, the main loop cycle can be designed with a faster bandwidth than the auxiliary loop cycle.
- step S65 the maximum power voltage determined in step S65 is the N-1th maximum power voltage
- the loop that fixes the input voltage to the N-1th maximum power voltage through step S66 operates k times
- the Nth maximum power voltage is simultaneously maintained.
- the tracking loop operates once.
- step S61 at least two of the input voltage (adc_V in ), output voltage (adc_V out ), input current (adc_I in ), and output current (adc_I out ) of the buck converter are measured. For example, at least one of a pair of voltage (adc_V in ) and current (adc_I in ) at the input terminal and a pair of voltage (adc_V out ) and current (adc_I out ) at the output terminal is measured.
- step S62 the power of the buck converter output stage is calculated. An operation is performed to multiply the voltage (adc_V in ) and current (adc_I in ) of the input terminal or the voltage (adc_V out ) and current (adc_I out ) of the output terminal. At this time, a plurality of powers can be calculated through various measurement values collected during the auxiliary loop cycle, and ultimately step S63 can be performed using the average value of these values.
- a first correction value (err_s) is calculated based on the calculated power (power).
- the first correction value (err_s) is calculated based on the change rate of power (power). For example, when there is an adjustment of the load, the rate of change between the power before adjustment and the power after adjustment is calculated, and the voltage value required to reach the power after adjustment is calculated based on the P-V curve.
- step S64 the operation sign (sign) of the first correction value (err_s) is determined. In other words, it is determined whether the first correction value should be plus or minus in order to reach the maximum power point on the P-V curve. At this time, when the rising or falling flow of power is maintained, the sign of the first correction value is determined as calculated. On the other hand, when the flow of power changes, the sign of the first correction value changes to the opposite of the calculated state.
- step S65 the reference voltage (adc_V ref ) corresponding to the current maximum power voltage is determined by reflecting the first correction value (err_s).
- the first correction value (err_s) can be integrated into the previous reference voltage based on the operation sign (sign), and a preset integration constant (K I ) can be applied.
- step S66 the difference between the reference voltage (adc_V ref ) determined in step S66 and the voltage (adc_V in ) measured at the input terminal of the buck converter is calculated.
- a second correction value (err_p) is calculated for the input voltage (adc_V in ) to reach the reference voltage (adc_V ref ).
- the second correction value (err_p) can be integrated into the input voltage (adc_V in ), and a preset integration constant (K I ) or proportional constant (K P ) can be applied.
- duty ratio control is performed based on the second correction value (err_p), and accordingly, the input voltage (adc_V in ) is fixed to the reference voltage (adc_V ref ) to maintain output of maximum power.
- step S66 in order to prevent a large gap between the input voltage (adc_V in ) and the reference voltage (adc_V ref ), the second correction value (err_p) for the N-1th reference voltage is reflected and the Nth A reference voltage can be calculated.
