Proposed Algorithm MPPT for Photovoltaic System

Abstract

<jats:p>A proposed algorithm MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is proposed in this paper. When the insolation change rapidly, the P&amp;O (Perturb and Observe) algorithm is used to adjust the operating point of the PV (Photovoltaic) array close to the MPP (Maximum Power Point) for fast tracking; also, the INC (Incremental Conductance) algorithm and the fuzzy controller skip drawbacks of the P&amp;O algorithm by decreasing oscillations around the MPP and the underestimated. In addition, to improve the control precision, the effectiveness of proposed algorithm is validated by simulation using Matlab/Simulink, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm tracks the MPP quickly, reduces the oscillation around the MPP effectively and improves the energy conversion efficiency of the PV panel.</jats:p>
