Rural electrification is essential as most villages worldwide are faced with the challenge of a lack of electricity. These villages use other sources of energy, such as petroleum and coal, which are fossil fuels. These fossil fuels lead to a lot of CO2 emissions that contribute to global warming. Environmentalists and governments have thus encouraged households to use renewable energy since it leads to less pollution and emissions, thus reducing global warming effects. In rural regions, solar energy has been marketed as a reliable source of power. In this paper, we proposed solar tracking devices that use microcontrollers, LDRs, and stepper motors effectively capture power maximally from sunlight. This leads to 35% in power generated annually compared to a fixed solar panel. For the sake of the charging battery, maximum power point tracking is also used to maintain a consistent voltage. An online simulator is used to simulate the dual-axis solar tracker, but the simulator lacks a plug adapter which necessitated the need to move to Arduino. This was required to power the motor through the adapter and connect 100 µf capacitors to protect the stepper motor driver from spikes.

“…There are different algorithms for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the solar charge controller. According to comparison of [20], MATLAB simulations reveals that the incremental conductance MPPT method have highest efficiency of 97.1%, and the fastest convergence as compared to the other two methods. Likewise, according to MATLAB simulations of [21], incremental conductance MPPT method has an efficiency of 99.5%.…”

“… The overall efficiency of a locally manufactured UPS unit is about 50-60% as declared in [11], [13], [20], and [21]. However, by converting these UPS units into proposed solar-based UPS, its charging efficiency is increased by 13.35%, resulting in the increase of its overall efficiency.…”

Locally manufactured Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units are purchased as an alternative to rolling blackouts and load shedding in underdeveloped and developing countries like Pakistan. These locally manufactured UPS units are energy-inefficient, causing stress on the national grid and cost-intensive for the residential consumer in the form of high utility bills of electricity. In this regard, the authors have proposed the PV fed local UPS inverter to make the existing UPS unit more efficient through photovoltaic (PV) energy without disrupting its function of providing uninterrupted supply during load-shedding hours. In order to validate the performance of the proposed PV fed local UPS inverter, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) PV charge controller module is designed and implemented practically in a hardware setup and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and Proteus environment, respectively. Moreover, the installation of an MPPT PV charge controller module in an existing locally manufactured UPS unit is also discussed. The practical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed PV fed local UPS inverter with an average efficiency of 81.51% and a lowest total harmonic distortion (THD) of 1.29% as compared to existing UPS inverters.

A critical advancement in solar photovoltaic (PV) establishment has led to robust acceleration towards the evolution of new MPPT techniques. The sun-oriented PV framework has a non-linear characteristic in varying climatic conditions, which considerably impact the PV framework yield. Furthermore, the partial shading condition (PSC) causes major problems, such as a drop in the output power yield and multiple peaks in the P–V attribute. Hence, following the global maximum power point (GMPP) under PSC is a demanding problem. Subsequently, different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategies have been utilized to improve the yield of a PV framework. However, the disarray lies in choosing the best MPPT technique from the wide algorithms for a particular purpose. Each algorithm has its benefits and drawbacks. Hence, there is a fundamental need for an appropriate audit of the MPPT strategies from time to time. This article presents new works done in the global power point tracking (GMPPT) algorithm field under the PSCs. It sums up different MPPT strategies alongside their working principle, mathematical representation, and flow charts. Moreover, tables depicted in this study briefly organize the significant attributes of algorithms. This work will serve as a reference for sorting an MPPT technique while designing PV systems.
