Abstract
In this study, is to investigate the effect of real climatic conditions on the performance
parameters of a 9 kWp grid connected photovoltaic plant during one-year using typical
days installed in the desert environment in south of Algeria (Ghardaia site). The PV
plant contain the following components: solar PV array, with a DC/DC boost converter,
neural MPPT, that allow maximal power conversion into the grid, have been included.
These methods can extract maximum power from each of the independent PV arrays
connected to DC link voltage level, a DC/AC inverter and a PI current control system.
The PV array is divides in two parallel PV technology types; the first includes 100 PV
modules mono-crystalline silicon (mc-Si) arranged in 20 parallel groups of 5 modules
in series, and the second of composed of 24 amorphous modules (Inventux X series),
arranged in 6 parallel groups of 4 modules in series. The proposed system tested using
MATLAB/SIMULINK platform in which a maximum power tracked under constant
and real varying solar irradiance. The study concluded that output power and energy
from two PV technology types (mc-Si and Amorphous-Si) increases linearly with
increase of solar irradiance.

Introduction
As the conventional fuel, resources throughout the world continue to reduce, the
promising renewable energy resources as photovoltaic energy technologies have been widely
used to compensate the depletion of the conventional fuel resources [1-2]. Renewable energy
uses inexhaustible flow of natural energy sources (sun, wind, water, plant growth). These
energies of the future not yet cover only 22% of global electricity consumption with the
importance of hydropower, which accounts for three quarters of electricity from renewable
energy. The main advantages of renewable energy are not their inexhaustible and their very
limited emissions of greenhouse gases as evidenced by the analysis of the life cycle of
exploitation [3-5]. PV system installation has played an important role in worldwide and
becoming one of the most popular sources since it is clean, inexhaustible, environment friendly,
secure energy sources and requires little maintenance. The geographical location of Algeria
promotes the development an ambitious program launching in 2012 for development of
renewable energy and energy efficiency. This program includes of installing a renewable power
of nearly 22 000MW between 2012 and 2030, will be dedicated to cover the national demand
for electricity [6–8]. In 2030, about 40% of the production of electricity for domestic
consumption is from renewable sources [8]. The average annual irradiation levels in Algeria
are around 2000kWh/m2. In the Local of study (Ghardaia site), the global horizontal solar
radiation is varied between 3 kWh/m2/day and 7.4 kWh/m2/day, with annual average value of
5.4 kWh/m2/day [9]. Variations in solar radiation level and ambient temperature from each
season and year-to-year influence the PV system performance. Therefore, it need to be
considered and is important to identify the effects of climate during different seasons and which
performance are suitable for which system evaluations based on their weather-dependence.
The focus of this present work is to study the effect of the real climatic conditions on
the performance of a 9 kWp grid connected photovoltaic plant during one-year of 2013 using
typical days with variation in different seasons using two different PV technology under an
environmental condition of Algeria (Ghardaia site).
The main contributions of this paper are:
• Input real experimental weather data of the location site (irradiation and temperature)
applied to analysis and evaluation the impact of desert environment on the performance
of grid connected photovoltaic plant during twelve typical days using two PV array

technology types (Amorphous and Monocrystalline Solar PV panels);
• Neural network mode based MPPT control is proposed;
• The method exhibits good transient performance and fast convergence.
Material and method
Principle of the method
In this paper, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a photovoltaic system using
artificial neural network control is developed and simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK at
varying atmospheric conditions to increase the output power of a photovoltaic system.
The inputs variables for ANN are the output PV current and output PV voltage
corresponding to a given insolation and operating cell temperature conditions, which they have
significant influence on the ANN response; the output variable of ANN is the corresponding
normalized increasing or decreasing duty cycle. The proposed neural network MPPT is tested
and validated using Matlab/Simulink model for different atmospheric conditions.

3.45°E, Altitude 600 km).

and the second of composed of 24 amorphous modules (Inventux X series) of 125 W, arranged

DC–DC Boost converter model
The input source is DC Type (Inductor in series with a voltage source) and output load
voltage type continuous (capacitor in parallel with the resistive load) as presented in Figure 5.
Figure 5. DC-to-DC Boost Converter
The DC-DC converter is capable to elevate the voltage without changing the polarity
respecting to a common ground. It therefore behaves as an autotransformer that operates in
continued current DC. By adding to its control loop, we obtained a stabilized output voltage.

Figure 9. Real sun irradiance of studied location using typical days
Sun irradiance during one year of studied location using typical days (year 2013)
presented in Figure 9. To simulate the system, the PV model described above implemented in
Matlab Simulink and placed in real outdoor conditions of irradiation and temperature, and the
neural network controller has been defined and designed using the box neural network tools.
All Simulation results above show that the system controlled by the neural network
adapts to changing external disturbances and show their effectiveness not only for continued
maximum power point but also for response time and stability after a transient regime of time
equal to 10 ms. The different electrical parameters (power, voltage and current) stabilize to
optimal values. The power provided by the first PV generator stabilizes around 6 kW and the
second PV generator stabilizes around 3 kW at G=1000 W/m² (Figure 10).

We note that the effect of the rapid increase in power caused by increased irradiation.
The overall results show that the DC-DC converter and MPPT control properly perform their
roles. The converter provides optimal conditions in a voltage at its output than that provided by
the PV array. The MPPT control adjusts the PV array to the charge transfer maximum power
provided by the PV generator.
Figure 13, show the sinusoidal three current waveforms on the grid side (Iabc) during
one-year using typical days (2013).
Figure 13. Current waveform on the grid side (Iabc) using typical days (2013)
The figure 13 shows the characteristics of the three-phase currents injected into the
network (Iabc). They have almost sinusoidal waveform. The increase and decrease of the
current "Iabc" reflects the variation of the irradiation. Increasing the intensity of sunlight causes
an increase in power.

Figure 16. Daily PV array energy (2013)
Figure 16 describe the daily PV array energy for one year (2013) for tow PV array (PV1
and PV2). It is noted that the energy produced is much higher during the in the summer period
(June-August) compared to the winter season (December-February), because the solar
illumination received at the level of the photovoltaic field is very high in this season.
Conclusions
In this paper, an experiment to assess the performance of a grid connected system PV
under real conditions of exploitation in a desert environment of two different technologies
(Amorphous and Monocrystalline Solar PV panels).
The neural network based MPPT control has clearly demonstrated its utility and the
effectiveness in tracking the maximum power point of the photovoltaic power plant. The
simulation results obtained of the whole system done in Matlab-Simulink have shown an
excellent performance, high efficiency, low error, very short response time, high dynamics for
both inverter and MPPT, the DC bus voltage and the power output value from two PV
technology types.
