Abstract

The photovoltaic (PV) conversion efficiency is affected by modifications of the operation conditions particularly the ones concerning PV cell temperature and radiation due to the displacement of the system maximum power point (MPP). There are several electronic devices known as maximum power point tracking (MPPT) that allow the minimization of those effects by assuring the system continuously operation on its MPP. The present work focuses on the study of a system that allows controlling the temperature of PV cells, providing that way thermal and electric energy while at the same time ensuring that the PV system operates as close as possible to its MPP without the need to employ any MPPT algorithm to the DC-DC converter.
