Summary:
This paper presents a novel family of Lyapunov-based controllers for the maximum power point tracking problem in the buck converter case. The solar power generation system here considered is composed by a stand-alone photovoltaic panel connected to a DC/DC buck converter. Lyapunov function candidates depending on the output are considered to develop conditions which, in some cases, can be expressed as linear matrix inequalities; these conditions guarantee that the output goes asymptotically to zero, thus implying that the MPPT is achieved. Simulation and real-time results are presented, which validate the effectiveness of the proposals.
