Abstract
Detailed theoretical and experimental analyses are presented for the comparison of two simple fast and reliable maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques for photovoltaic systems (PV): the voltage-based (VMPPT) and the current-based (CMPPT) approaches. A microprocessor-controlled tracker capable of online voltage and current measurements and programmed with both VMPPT and CMPPT algorithms is constructed. The load of the solar system is either a water pump or a resistance. Simulink facilities are used for simulation and modeling of the novel trackers. The main advantage of this new MPPT, as compared with present trackers, is the elimination of reference (dummy) cells, which results in a more efficient, less expensive, and more reliable PV system.
