Abstract

This paper presents a comparative assessment of the current control methods (CCM) of switch-mode converters for photovoltaic (PV) applications. In this paper, average current control, current programmed control, hysteresis current control and nonlinear carrier control methods are addressed considering input fluctuations and load variations for PV systems. Dynamic responses of PV systems are investigated and harmonic analysis is performed. Performances of the above current controllers are examined through simulation and the results are presented. The results show that the selection of different current control techniques depends on the working conditions and the area of applications.
