0243025 BatarsehDescription: This project supports a cooperative research project between Dr. Issa Batarseh, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida and Dr. Sami Karaki, Department of Electrical Engineering, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon. They plan to carry out research in developing a new controller for solar energy source. The new controller will be designed, simulated and verified experimentally to extract maximum power from photovoltaic systems under all full-load conditions. The objective of the proposal is to develop expandable, parallel-connected photovoltaic-based power system with robust Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) capabilities. The specific objectives of this project are: 1) Investigate MPPT controller performance under severe circumstance with computer simulation. 2) Develop an engineering demonstration prototype for robust MPPT controller. 3) Simulate and experimentally verify the shared bus current sharing techniques. 4) Evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system by extensive system level computer simulation. Scope: The impact of the proposed maximum power tracker for solar array will lead to future satellites with reduced size, lower cost and more reliable. Such a system may be also applied to another renewable energy sources like fuel cells. The proposed distributed power architecture will have several desired features. This project enables the US and Lebanese scientists to pool their complementary expertise and resources in providing a new approach to analyzing the behavior of power control systems. One US graduate student from UCF will participate in this international collaborative project. This project is funded by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Electrical and Communications Systems.

0243025 Batarseh 描述：该项目支持佛罗里达州奥兰多中佛罗里达大学电气工程与计算机科学学院 Issa Batarseh 博士和黎巴嫩贝鲁特贝鲁特美国大学电气工程系 Sami Karaki 博士之​​间的合作研究项目。 他们计划开展研究开发一种新型太阳能控制器。新控制器将经过设计、模拟和实验验证，以在所有满载条件下从光伏系统中提取最大功率。 该提案的目标是开发具有强大最大功率点跟踪（MPPT）功能的可扩展、并联光伏电力系统。 该项目的具体目标是： 1）通过计算机仿真研究恶劣环境下MPPT控制器的性能。 2) 开发鲁棒MPPT控制器的工程演示原型。 3）对共享母线均流技术进行仿真和实验验证。 4) 通过广泛的系统级计算机仿真评估所提出系统的可行性。 范围：拟议的太阳能电池阵最大功率跟踪器的影响将导致未来的卫星尺寸更小、成本更低、更可靠。 这样的系统还可以应用于另一种可再生能源，例如燃料电池。所提出的分布式电源架构将具有几个所需的功能。 该项目使美国和黎巴嫩科学家能够汇集互补的专业知识和资源，提供一种分析电力控制系统行为的新方法。 一名来自 UCF 的美国研究生将参加这个国际合作项目。 该项目由国际科学与工程办公室和电气与通信系统部资助。
