Article: New findings from J.L. Agorreta and co-authors describe advances in industrial engineering.

According to recent research from Pamplona, Spain, "Due to the variation of the maximum power point (MPP) of photovoltaic (PV) generators with solar radiation and temperature, boost dc-dc converters placed between PV modules and inverters in grid-connected PV systems have to be controlled in a variable operating-point condition. In addition, inductor current dynamics changes suddenly when moving from continuous to discontinuous conduction mode."

"The previous difficulties make the design of reliable and fast control laws for the input voltage of boost converters complicated. The aim of this paper is to propose a control algorithm based on cascaded-loop control. ...
