TMDSHVMPPTKIT: TMDSHVMPPTKIT

Part Number: TMDSHVMPPTKIT
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CONTROLSUITE

Hi,

I'm developing a research on MPPT for photovoltaic systems and I became interested in this development kit. But I will not only have to implement a modified P&O as  I will need to implement a new kind of controller. Does the kit have any support for that transition? Or it needs to be attached to a PID controller?

Best Regards.

  • Jorge,

    It is Thanksgiving week in US. Most of the TI engineers are on vacation. Please expect delay in response.

    I would realistically expect a response back from TI early next week.

  • Sorry, probably I have not comprehended the question correctly. The kit comes with a control card, the software for which is available as source inside controlSUITE. You can modify and test it with a new algroithm if you want.

    MPPT algo classically does not have a PID controller, the inner current and voltage loop use PID / 2p2z controllers.
  • Thanks for the answer. And sorry for not being able to be clearer.

    Well, my doubt was if I could change the control, I'll need to erase the PID and insert an MPC.

    And I wonder if there is a library for the development of the MPPT algorithm.

    Best Regards.

  • Jorge,

    as C2000 is a fully programmable controller, you can run any type of control by writing your own software.

    I personally don;t have experience with Model Predective Control (MPC) and cannot advise you further. However you may be able to find some good references online.

    Regarding MPPT, we run a Peturb and Observe (PnO) and Incremental Conductance (INCC) algorithm . The code for which is available inside solarlib inside ControlSUITE. One of which this kit/EVM uses,
