Passivity-based control for maximum power extraction of thermoelectric generator

Abstract

New robust algorithm of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for an extraction system solar energy by thermoelectric effect is tackled in this paper. Indeed, the algorithms available today, suffer from non-robustness against climate change as well as system settings. This requires a deep study of the simulation of a robust controller system. Therefore, it is proposed, the Interconnection and Damping Assignment Passivity Based Control (IDA-PBC) application for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of Thermoelectric Power Generator, which shows its efficiency and robustness compared to other methods (such as Incremental Conduction), as fast and the decrease against climate perturbations and variations of system parameters.
