University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

Research Assistant 2010 – 2011

• Designed maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic system by applying Extremum

Seeking Control (ESC) algorithm. And the ESC based degradation detection

• Developed the modified sequential ESC for photovoltaic to search the true MPP when multi-peak P-

V curve occurs under partial shading, the method is proven cost effective by simulation

• Electric Vehicle related research
