Solar Array Power Point Algorithm
Professor Mike Ropp, South Dakota State University, will collaborate with PV Powered to develop math that improves solar array tracking performance. ...
... "Specifically, SDSU’s involvement in this project centers on the development of a suite of maximum power point tracking algorithms that could improve the way photovoltaic devices transfer the energy they generate from sunlight into electrical networks. PV Powered is developing a new maximum power point tracking algorithm that can be fed into a microcomputer inside the power converter on a solar array. That can better enable the solar array to operate at that maximum power point. SDSU’s role is first to define the mathematics that describe the behavior of the solar array.

US Department of Energy for SEGIS Award : "Over the course of the program, the PV Powered-led team will develop several innovations that increase energy harvest, reduce the cost of PV systems and remove barriers to increased grid penetration. Key aspects include specialized MPPT algorithms, tighter integration with electric utility and commercial facility monitoring and control systems, as well as development of low cost balance-of-system components that will enable increased energy production."
