Abstract In this work, a new maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT) for photovoltaic systems is proposed. The considered system is composed of a photovoltaic panel charging a battery using a buck-type DC–DC converter. Computational simulations are carried out to compare the performances of the MPPT algorithms, therein analyzing the output voltage and output power behavior at the photovoltaic panel. Three evaluation scenarios are considered: with constant irradiance and temperature, randomly chosen conditions and using real data. The results of the simulations show that the proposed algorithm applied to the photovoltaic system achieves a better performance than the main MPPT algorithms in the literature.
