IAEME Publication, 2020
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. Maximum power point of PV panel keeps same on changing with changing solar irradiance and temperature of cell. Then to obtain maximum power from a PV system, MPPT algorithms are implemented. So that, P & O based MPPT is developed and Simulation results show the effective of the P&O based controller to produce more stable power.

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.
