METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAXIMIZING THE ELECTRICAL POWER PRODUCED BY A GENERATOR, PARTICULARLY A GENERATOR BASED ON A RENEWABLE POWER SOURCE

摘要

The method comprises the operations of: coupling a DC-DC converter (2) to the generator (PV) through a first, parallel- connected capacitor (C_in), the converter (2) comprising at least one electronic switch (M), driving the switch (M) by means of a driving signal having a variable duty cycle in predetermined ways as a function of a control signal generated on the basis of a predetermined MPPT algorithm; identifying an electrical quantity (I_Cin) capable of reflecting, in a substantially instantaneous manner, the effects of disturbances originating from the generator (PV) and/or the DC-DC converter (2), detecting the magnitude of the electrical quantity (I_Cin), and determining the duty cycle of the driving signal in a predetermined way as a function of the detected magnitude of this quantity (I_Cin).
