Abstract

In any solar plant output of PV arrays varies due to change of solar irradiance and other conditions. Therefore, the maximum power point tracking algorithm is implemented in DC-DC converter to enable PV arrays to operate at maximum power point. This paper presents the averaged model for PV array with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) boost converter. This model consists of PV module and MPPT boost DC-DC converter. The incremental conductance algorithm is employed to control the boost converter. Instantaneous report of system stability & efficiency is stimulated under the normal variation of solar irradiance or in any condition through MATLAB simulation. Keywords: Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Boost converter ; Solar cell model ; Solar cell connected with Grid & PV array averaged Model,; Switched-mode Boost DC-DC converter; Distributed Generation (DG), Incremental Conductance (IC) algorithm; Concentrating Solar Plant(CSP).
