To maximize solar Photovoltaic (PV) output under dynamic weather conditions, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers are incorporated in solar PV systems. Implementing the MPPT algorithm through digital controllers is easier if it is possible to minimize error functions. The differences between the various MPPT techniques are very slight and they can be evaluated according to the situation. In this work a modified version of adapative reference voltage algorithm has been designed. The model has been simulated in MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment. The modeling of adaptive reference PSO based MPPT algorithm has resulted in considerable improvement in the power output from the PV module. The power output with adaptive reference PSO MPPT algorithm at the load terminal has improved from 3959 Watts to 4969 watts approximately.

Abstract Integration of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with photovoltaic (PV) systems is a necessity to track and deliver maximum power available. This paper focuses on comparing the tracking efficiencies of Perturb and Observation method (P&O), Incremental Conductance (IC) and Fuzzy-Logic System based MPPT technique. Change in atmospheric condition such as varying irradiance causes the output power to continuously vary over time. IC as well as P&O based MPPT techniques exhibit poor dynamic responses and so operating points keeps fluctuating. Variation in solar irradiance over a day at constant temperature is given as input to the solar PV module. The algorithm used here implements tracking over the period of a day. All the simulation study are implemented with the use of MATLAB/SIMULINK.


Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are gaining importance increasingly as it directly converts solar radiation into electrical energy which is renewable and environment friendly. Where it has a numerous advantage, some disadvantages are also there like its dependency on environmental conditions. The power developed by solar panel decreases if it does not get uniform radiation. Sometimes due to nearby buildings, passing clouds etc. PV module might be partially shaded because of which power output of solar panel may get decrease this is called partial shading conditions. It causes significant reduction in the system power output. To overcome this, maximum power point-tracking under partial shading condition by continuous duty cycle variation schemes have been proposed, in which dc–dc boost converters are connected to PV module to enable maximum power extraction. In this paper a new method of Duty Sweep Maximum Power Point Tracking (DSMPPT) has been implanted, which is capable of tracking the Global Maximum Power Point (GMPP) in the presence of other local maxima. The proposed scheme tracks Maximum Power Point (MPP) by continuous variation of converter’s duty cycle without the use of costly components such as signal converters and microprocessors thereby increasing the compactness of the system.

The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a very important function in a Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) system. While previous research has been focussed on optimizing the performance of the MPPT, there is further scope to improve upon the MPPT efficiency without compromising on the complexity of the MPPT technique in terms of the algorithm and hardware requirements. The research work presented in this paper aims to address this gap. The paper presents two novel MPPT schemes which are the proposed Perturb and Observe (P&O) and proposed Incremental Conductance (IC) methods based on two-step control and direct duty ratio perturbation. The proposed techniques are efficient, computationally less complex and hardware minimal than previous study in this field. For verification, simulation has been performed for extensive irradiation profiles of Standard Test Conditions (STC), rapidly changing and gradually changing insolation conditions which are representative of the boundary cases. Results of the proposed MPPT methods are compared with that of conventional MPPT methods. The results show that proposed MPPT schemes have excellent tracking efficiency and dynamic response with respect to previous research.
