IMPLEMENTATION OF MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING (MPPT) ALGORITHM FOR PV SYSTEM
Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation projects are implemented in very large number in many countries. Many research works are carried out to analyze and validate the performance of PVarray. In this work covers the modeling and simulation study of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems using perturb and observe algorithm. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays an important role in photovoltaic systems because it maximizes the power output from a PV system for a given set of conditions, and therefore maximize the array efficiency and minimize the overall system cost. Since the maximum power point (MPP) varies, based on the irradiation and cell temperature, appropriate algorithms must be utilized to track the (MPP) and maintain the operation of the system in it. MATLAB/Simulink is used to establish a model of photovoltaic system with (MPPT) function. This system was developed by combining the models established of solar PV module and DC-DC Boost converter was developed. The system was simulated under different climate conditions. Simulation results show that the photovoltaic simulation system can track the maximum power point accurately. A particular typical 100W solar panel was used for model evaluation.
