Abstract

Implementation of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) to utilize maximum output power of PV system more accurately is presented in this paper. By using MPPT, maximum possible power is taken out from Photovoltaic (PV) array. In this MPPT technique P&O algorithm is used to take out maximum solar power output with approximately no oscillation in output PV power. P&O algorithm is facile to analyze and implement. By using DC-DC boost converter and MPPT algorithm the conversion efficiency of PV system is improved. Boost convertor steps up the PV voltage level by varying its duty cycle. MPPT algorithms have been written in MATLAB and implemented in simulation. PV array and Boost converter are modeled using Sim Power System blocks.
