Why Cubesat?
Universities develop Cubesat because of :
• The fact that the components needed to have complete satellite system are already available on shelf with lower cost.
• It is a standardized system which makes it simple to design the system and launch it.

PV Model
• The aim of the PV model is to test the operation of the MPPT algorithm.
• The available Practical PV Panel in the Lab is the 120W Polycrystalline BCT120-24.
• The PV model chosen for the simulation is the Single-Diode general model.
40
PV Model (Cont’d)
• The P-V characteristic curve of the Simulated Polycrystalline PV Panel for different solar insolation and temperature respectively.
41
Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (MPPT)• MPPT can be achieved by different approaches and techniques, but
the well-known and widely used algorithm is the Perturb & Observe (P & O) method because of:
• Its simple implementation.• Reasonable convergence speed.
• P & O technique can be well visualized in the figure shown in the next slide.
42
Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (cont’d)• The (P&O) MPPT illustration is on Buck converter.
43
Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (cont’d)• P&O method can be classified into:
• Fixed perturb.• Adaptive perturb.
• P&O with fixed perturb suffers some demerits and drawbacks:• Steady-state oscillations around the MPP due to fixed periodic tuning.• Possibility of tracking failure for rapid change of the atmospheric conditions
especially the solar isolation.
• The problem of steady-state oscillations can be minimized by applying small perturbation step-size, but results in slow down of the system.
44
Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (cont’d)• Many researches went through improving the P&O method and make
it adaptive-based by utilizing an automatic variable perturb tuning in order to satisfy:
• Fast tracking response toward the maximum power point.• Low steady-state oscillations.
• Can be achieved by applying a large perturb value at starting to reach the MPP fast, then minimize the perturb value to result in lower steady-state oscillations.
45
Maximum-Power-Point-Tracking (cont’d)• The simulation of the (P&O) algorithm has been performed on the
available practical BCT120-24 PV panel to validate the functionality of the MPPT.
• The converter used is Buck converter where its design parameters were chosen same as the practical design achieved in the lab.

using the Artificial Intelligence (Neural Network).• A sample of 39 PV-curves were taken on the 2nd of June 2014 from
9:40 AM till 4:00 PM every 10 minutes.• Those samples were used to train the Neural Network of MATLAB
Neural Network wizard which uses Levenberg Marquardt (LM) training algorithm where the performance indices are the mean-squared-error (MSE) and the Regression index (R).
