Abstract

Enhancing PV system performance and efficiency requires improving the extraction of the maximum available power from the PV generator and reducing the output losses from the using DC-DC converter. A new proposed MPPT technique in the second cited references is used to track the available maximum power (MPP) from the PV generator. On the other hand, the interleaved boost converter is used to minimizing the output current, voltage and power ripples. Two simulation scenarios are provided to examine and evaluate the tracking effectiveness of the proposed MPPT technique using the interleaved boost converter. The first one is carried out under sudden variation of solar irradiation however the second is made under slow variation of solar irradiation. The simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed approach combining the new proposed MPPT algorithm with the interleaved boost converter compared to the conventional boost converter. The simulation implementation is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software tool.
