Abstract

The load pressure on electrical power system is increased during last decade. The in-stallation of new power generators (PGs) take huge time and cost. Therefore, to manage current power demands, the solar plants are considered a fruitful solution. However, critical caring and balance output power in solar plants are the highlighted issues. Which needs a proper procedure in order to minimize balance output power and caring issues in solar plants. This paper investigates artificial neural network (ANN) and hybrid boost converter (HBC) based MPPT for improving the output power of solar plants. The proposed model is analyzed in two steps, the offline step and the online step. Where the offline status is used for training various terms of ANNs in terms of structure and algorithm while in the online step, the online procedure is applied with optimum ANN for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) using traditional converter and hybrid converter in solar plants. Moreover, a detail analytical framework is studied for both proposed steps. The mathematical and simulation approaches show that the presented model efficiently regulate the output of solar plants. This technique is applicable for current installed solar plants which reduces the cost per generation.
