Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of the two-famous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques used in photovoltaic (PV) system, namely fractional open-circuit voltage (FOCV) and fractional short circuit current (FSCC) based on PLC and HMI in laboratory platform. The real-time operation of these two algorithms in the proposed platform has been done with the help of the DC-DC converter and other components. The main feature of this implementation is using all facilities of the PLC and HMI by the user to control all the essential keys of the two techniques like reference voltage and current sources, PID controller parameters, tracking speed, tracking accuracy, and power curve plotting utility. The purpose of this paper is to clear that, the user or researcher can be used the PLC and HMI to implement any topic related to the PV system such as the implementation of maximum power point tracking techniques or any other subject such as PV modeling or PV simulation even PV panels testing. PLC "programmable logic controller" is a special microprocessor-based controlled system, and it is a special type of computer capable of withstanding the industrial environment like vibration and high temperature. HMI "human interface machine" is used to create a user-friendly interface with the help of its base screens or popup screens. The combination of PLC and HMI is a powerful tool to use in PV system implementation.
