Review of maximum power point tracking algorithms of PV system

Abstract

PurposeSilicon photovoltaics technology has drawbacks of high cost and power conversion efficiency. In order to extract the maximum output power of the module, maximum power point (MPP) is used by implying the nonlinear behavior of I-V characteristics. Different techniques are used regarding maximum power point tracking (MPPT). The paper aims to review the techniques of MPPT used in PV systems and review the comparison between Perturb and Observe (P&O) method and incremental conductance (IC) method that are used to track the maximum power and gives a comparative review of all those techniques.Design/methodology/approachA study of MPPT techniques for photovoltaic (PV) systems is presented. Matlab Simulink is used to find the MPP using P&O simulation along with IC simulation at a steady temperature and irradiance.FindingsMATLAB simulations are used to implement the P&O method and IC method, which includes a PV cell connected to an MPPT-controlled boost converter. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the PV model as well as the functional value of the algorithms, which has improved tracking efficiency and dynamic characteristics. P&O solution gave 94% performance when configured. P&O controller has a better time response process. As compared to the P&O method of tracking, the incremental conductance response rate was significantly slower.Originality/valueIn PV systems, MPPT techniques are used to optimize the PV array output power by continuously tracking the MPP under a variety of operating conditions, including cell temperature and irradiation level.

Dynamic Performance Evaluation of Grid-Connected Hybrid Renewable Energy-Based Power Generation for Stability and Power Quality Enhancement in Smart Grid

“…The primary components of the DC-to-DC converters are inductance (L), a diode (D), filter capacitance (C), and a high-power semiconductor (MOSFET/IGBT) switch. Usually, they are used in PV inverter systems to find their application for the control of power extraction in PV systems with the appropriate implementation of MPPT algorithms (Elbarbary and Alranini, 2021). The purpose of MPPT in the PV-based subsystem is to continuously extract maximum power from solar PV modules irrespective of the load condition or weather.…”

Maximum power point tracker using an intelligent sliding mode controller of a photovoltaic system

“…A pulse width modulation (PWM) is applied to the switch in order to get the PV system to operate in the required MPP manner. Maximizing the energy produced by the GPV and enhancing system stability has been the main focus of this work based on the integral SMC with INC in the PV system [13] shows in Figure 1. We start the presentation of this work with a brief description of the studied system, we will go on to describe each element, starting with the PV panel and its features, the boost converter for the interface between the PV panels and loads and it increases some applications' input voltage, which must be higher than the voltage obtained from the PV, then we move to the studied method which is the first order sliding mode passing through the conductance increment algorithm.…”
