Maximum power point tracking of solar photovoltaic system using modified perturbation and observation method

Abstract

Solar energy is one of the important renewable energy resources as it is pollution free, clean, never-ending and abundant. Solar photovoltaic technologies are mounting vigor attention in the modern electrical power applications due to fast growth in the relative sectors of semiconductor and power electronics. It is significant to operate solar photovoltaic energy conversion systems to its maximum power output to raise the efficiency. Maximum power point tracking plays a very important role for extracting maximum power from the solar photovoltaic module and transferring that power to the load. The present work highlights a survey on perturb and observe method maximum power point tracking technique for solar photovoltaic system undertaken by considering the various works already listed relative study has been carried out, which includes different perturb and observe method on maximum power point tracking techniques and draw their advantages and drawbacks. These techniques vary in many aspects, which can be broadly categorized on the basis of simplicity, way of implementing, type of sensors, total cost of the system, range of effectiveness, hardware requirement and speed of convergence. It is expected that this review work will provide precious information for solar photovoltaic professionals to keep alongside with the latest progress in this area, as well as for new researchers to get started on maximum power point tracking.
