Maximum power point tracking for low power photovoltaic solar panels

Abstract: A maximum power point tracker unit is developed for the optimum coupling of a photovoltaic panel (PVP) to the batteries and load through a controlled dcdc converter (chopper). The system consists of three main units; (i) the photovoltaic panels that converts solar power to electricity, (ii) a chopper which couples the power of PVP to the load or batteries a t a constant voltage, and (E) maximum power point (MPP) computing unit that determines the set point of the chopper to keep the panel voltage a t maximum p… Show more

“…The current sweep [69] method uses a sweep waveform for the PV array current such that the I-V characteristic of the PV array is obtained and updated at fixed time intervals. The V MPP can then be computed from the characteristic curve at the same intervals.…”

“…A few frameworks utilizing differentiators (Alonso et al 2006 andLee et al 2008) are not appealing, on account of clamor affectability. In Bodur and Ermis (1994), MPPT is determined by clearing PV voltage from 0 V to open circuit voltage (VOC) occasionally. The framework is not powerful in view of requirement for periodical scope.…”
