Maximum power point trackers are so important to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic systems. Many methods have been proposed to achieve the maximum power that the PV modules are capable of producing under different atmospheric conditions. This paper proposed a Perturb and Observe based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm for solar system. The solar panel is simulated and analyzed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Photovoltaic system is connected to a DC-DC Buck-boost converter. The Solar panel can produce maximum power at a certain operating point called Maximum Power Point (MPP).To achieve maximum power and to get maximum efficiency, the whole system must operate at that Maximum Power point.

Photovoltaic Cell (PV) is an environment-friendly source for electric power generation. A photovoltaic module (combination of PV cells) exhibit nonlinear V-I characteristics and maximum power points (MPP), that vary with solar insolation. Also, the PV module offers some impedance which does not match the impedance of the load. So, with the varying maximum power points, and mismatched impedance, load unable to extract maximum power that solar module generates in full day, due to which the overall efficiency of PV system decreases. To extract maximum power from the solar module, it is needed to operate the photovoltaic (PV) system always at the maximum power point (MPP) which is unique for every insolation and match the load impedance with PV module impedance. An intermediate circuit known as MPPT circuit can, therefore, maintain this operating point at MPP and hence ultimately increase the overall efficiency of the system. MPPT device when used with dc-dc converter matches the PV module impedance to the impedance offered by load and maintain the load line of the load at MPP line. This is known as Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This paper shows a system which provides maximum power to the load at every insolation. We present a simple circuit model of the dc/dc buck-boost converter connected to the photovoltaic systems controlled by incremental conductance algorithm of MPPT. The model has been implemented in PSIM (Powersim).

A Novel Approach on MPPT Algorithm for Solar Panel using Buck Boost Converter
— According to maximum power transfer theorem, a solar module will be unable to transfer maximum power to the load by itself due to an impedance mismatch that occurs in the system. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system should be employed to extract the maximum power. Micro controller is used to control the output of the converter. Photo-voltaic (PV) module output power is measured using sensors and is sent to micro controller. The output power of the present module is compared with the previous module output power and the duty cycle of the converter is adjusted continuously to track the Maximum power. This process is repeated until the output power reaches near the maximum power point. In this project, a maximum power point tracking system is developed using buck-boost converter. Stepped Perturb and observe type of MPPT algorithm is used to transfer maximum power from the PV panel.
The power converter is one of the essential elements for effective use of renewable power sources. This paper focuses on the development of a circuit simulation model for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) evaluation of solar power that involves using different buck-boost power converter topologies; including SEPIC, Zeta, and four-switch type buck-boost DC/DC converters. The circuit simulation model mainly includes three subsystems: a PV model; a buck-boost converter-based MPPT system; and a fuzzy logic MPPT controller. Dynamic analyses of the current-fed buck-boost converter systems are conducted and results are presented in the paper. The maximum power point tracking function is achieved through appropriate control of the power switches of the power converter. A fuzzy logic controller is developed to perform the MPPT function for obtaining maximum power from the PV panel. The MATLAB-based Simulink piecewise linear electric circuit simulation tool is used to verify the complete circuit simulation model.

With the increasing in the energy demand conservation and utilization of energy are very essential. Hence Solar charge controller helps in increasing the efficiency of the solar power transferred to the battery. Photovoltaic modules show nonlinear output characteristics because of different system losses. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an intelligent technique for reducing these losses by driving the system at its maximum operating point. DC/DC converter is an essential part of a MPPT controlled photovoltaic (PV) system which functions as an interface between PV system and the load. These Converters are mostly Dc Choppers which converts fixed Dc voltage to a variable Dc source. These Regulators are used in case of Solar Charge Controllers to increase or decrease the PV panel voltage to as that required by Battery. The DC voltage from the PV panel varies with the light intensity which depends on time of day and temperature. Similarly, on the Battery side the voltage varies depending on the load connections. Thus, for optimal charging of battery it is important that the voltage of the PV panel and the current matches the battery charging state at any instant. There are various types of Dc-Dc Converter of which Buck Boost Converter is taken into consideration. In this project work we propose an efficient photovoltaic system which will be designed, developed and the results will be validated in real time.

— This research work addresses a comparative examination of the two basic non-isolated DC-DC converters that could be interfaced effectively for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) systems via tracking algorithm of controlling the duty ratio of these converters. Examination of two famous DC-DC convertor topologies i.e. buck, and buck-boost converters has been performed here to scrutinize the behavior of converter behavior relating to changing atmospheric attributes, sequentially the deviation in the duty ratio (due to MPPT), and tracking efficiency. With the variant in the atmospheric conditions, the working value of resistance at the maximum power point (Rmpp) varies. In order to efficiently operate the system at the maximum power point, the MPPT algorithm must make the system work near to the value of Rmpp for the intermittent atmospheric pattern of varying insolation and temperature. The effectiveness of the MPPT algorithm can be scaled by this very obligation. The simulation study verifies that, although buck, and buck-boost converters are implemented as power converters for MPPT control, they are don't equally efficient. The consequence of diverse loads having values different to Rmpp on converter-side output is analyzed for the two important topologies, and it is inferred that the buck-boost converter topology most efficiently tracks the maximum power point (MPP) in case of varying temperature, insolation, and loading effect.
The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a technique used in power electronic circuits to extract maximum energy from the Photovoltaic (PV) Systems. In the recent decades, photovoltaic power generation has become more important due its many benefits such as needs a few maintenance and environmental advantages and fuel free. However, there are two major barriers for the use of PV systems, low energy conversion efficiency and high initial cost. To improve the energy efficiency, it is important to work PV system always at its maximum power point. So far, many researches are conducted and many papers were published and suggested different methods for extracting maximum power point. This paper presents in details implementation of Perturb and Observe MPPT using buck and buck-boost Converters. Some results such as current, voltage and output power for each various combination have been recorded. The simulation has been accomplished in software of MATLAB Math works.

Energy , especially alternative source of energy is vital for the development of a country. In future, the world anticipates to develop more of its solar resource potential as an alternative energy source to overcome the persistent shortages and unreliability of power supply. In order to maximize the power output the system components of the photovoltaic system should be optimized. For the optimization maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a promising technique that grid tie inverters , solar battery chargers and similar devices use to get the maximum possible power from one or more solar panels. Among the different methods used to track the maximum power point, Perturb and Observe method is a type of strategy to optimize the power output of an array. In this method, the controller adjusts the voltage by a small amount from the array and measures power, if the power increases, further adjustments in that direction are tried until power no longer increases. In this research paper the system performance is optimized by perturb and observe method using buck boost converter. By varying the duty cycle of the buck boost converter, the source impedance can be matched to adjust the load impedance to improve the efficiency of the system. The Performance has been studied by the MATLAB/Simulink.

This paper presents an efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller for a standalone photovoltaic (PV) generation system. To achieve an efficient MPPT controller, a new boost converter design and an improved MPPT algorithm are incorporated. In the proposed boost converter design, a passive regenerative snubber circuit is included to absorb the energy of stray inductance so as to reduce the IGBT switching losses. As for the improved MPPT algorithm, it is based on the curve fitting method which attempts to predict the power-voltage characteristic curve by a fourth order polynomial function. The predicted P-V curve strongly depends on the cell temperature and therefore the ambient temperature and solar radiation are used to track the maximum power point (MPP) of the PV module. Experimental results are given to verify the validity and performance of the MPPT algorithm which is embedded in a prototype MPPT controller. The experimental results showed that the proposed MPPT controller successfully tracked the MPP by giving an average tracking efficiency of 89.2%
