  • Intelligent algorithm for maximum power point tracking through load management in solar photovoltaic systems
    Patent number: 12119647
    Abstract: Principles of the present disclosure present an advanced control algorithm related to improving maximum power point tracking of a renewable energy system such as a solar photovoltaic system through load management, which estimates optimum load switch points, minimizes unsuccessful switches, and maximizes renewable energy such as photovoltaic energy delivered to loads.
    Type: Grant

  • Maximum power point tracking through load management
    Patent number: 11658483
    Abstract: A load management system for a solar photovoltaic (PV) system is disclosed. The load management system may include a PV array of solar modules, a plurality of loads configured to be powered by the PV array and switched on or off by a plurality of respective relays, a power sensor configured to measure an amount of power delivered from the PV array to the plurality of loads, and a controller coupled to the power sensor and the plurality of relays. The controller may be configured to determine a first power output of the PV array at a first time, switch a load, determine a second power output of the PV array at a second time, compare the first power output and the second power output, and based on the comparison, maintain the switched load or undo the switching of the load.
