摘要
The paper makes survey of operating principle of power management of photovoltaic system with supercapacitors and a maximum power tracker （MPT） control to achieve the maximum efficiency. Supercapacitors are well suited to replace classical batteries and conventional capacitors in photovoltaic applications to improve a dynamic behaviors and life-time. It describes the advantages of a supercapacitors solution and shows the results of comparison with convenient batteries. The paper presents different topologies of basic photovoltaic concepts with dc-dc converters and supercapacitors according to the power dimension. The mathematical equations describing the photovoltaic cells, temperature analyses and mathematical solution of MPT are shown in the paper and supported by measurements. The mathematical models were applied in the design of 50 W and 6 kW photovoltaic sources with MPT and supercapacitors. Both models were verified using experimental measurements on the photovoltaic setup.
