Abstract

The RPPT methodology permits dynamic Reserve of Power control for grid-connected Solar Farms, assuring the requisite Reserve of Power to sustain the grid and elevated PV power intrusion. Using a voltage controller based on a model and Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control PV voltage and inductor current, the algorithm switches the point of operation between two preset values within the PV curve. The RPPT methodology is tested in settings of partial shade, fluctuating power reference, and steady-state performance. It uses MPP information to control PV reserve power. The algorithm tracks MPP under partial shading, provides grid frequency support, reduces DC-link capacitor stress, and improves system reliability. It operates in MPPT, FPPT, or RPPT modes to maintain desired Power Reserve, offering advantages over traditional methods, enabling flexible power injection and grid frequency support.
