MPPT Based Artificial Neural Network Versus Pertub & Observe For Photovoltaic Energy Conversion System

Abstract

In this paper, we present a study of maximisation power tracking for photovoltaic energy conversion chain. We give a comparison between two techniques of tracking maximum power; Perturb &Observe (P&O) as first method versus a second method using artificial neural network (ANN). The two methods are designed, modelled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results are discussed involving performance and constraints of these two algorithms.
