Due to the urgent need to make maximum use of electrical power generated from the Photo-Voltaic System (PVS) solar panels, several techniques have been developed for this purpose. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm raises the efficiency of PVS’s. Simulation of the complete (PVS) possesses the ability of MPPT is present in this paper. The approved PVS consists of a PV array, DC-DC Boost Converter and MPPT algorithm using Incremental Conductance Method (INC). All parts of the system were simulated programmatically using MATLAB. The obtained Results showed the efficiency of the algorithm used to extract the maximum power regardless of changes in solar radiation and cell’s temperature

This paper presents a study of two maximum power point tracking methods for grid connected photovoltaic systems. The best operation conditions for the perturbation and observation and the incremental conductance methods are investigated in order to identify the efficiency performances of these most popular maximum power point tracking methods for photovoltaic systems. Improvements of these methods can be obtained with the best adjustment of the sampling rate and the perturbation size, both in accordance with the converter dynamics. Practical aspects about the incremental conductance method are discussed, and some modifications are proposed to overcome its problems. A procedure to determine the parameters is explained. This procedure helps to identify which method is better suited for grid connected photovoltaic systems with only one conversion stage. The methods’ influences on the quality of the currents injected in the grid are evaluated and compared. The performance improvement achieved with the choice of the best parameters is proved by means of simulation and experimental results performed on a low power test system. The simulation results have been obtained by modeling a photovoltaic system in MATLAB. A simplified model was used that employs only parameters of interest and therefore decreases simulation time. Experimental results corresponding to the operation of a grid connected photovoltaic converter controlled with a digital signal processor have been obtained.

Solar energy is a potential energy source in India. A photovoltaic is a efficient way to cure the energy in a huge amount and keep to gather that kind of energy for future, and the PV must have good efficiency. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is a process that tracks one maximum power point from array input, in which the ratio varies between the voltage and current delivered to get the most power it can. Several algorithms have been developed for extracting maximum power. To increase its efficiency many MPPT techniques are used. Incremental conductance is one of the important techniques in this system and because of its higher steady-state accuracy and environmental adaptability it is a widely implemented tracked control strategy. This research was aimed to explore the performance of a maximum power point tracking system that implements the Incremental Conductance (IC) method. The IC algorithm was designed to control the duty cycle of the Buck-Boost converter and to ensure the MPPT work at its maximum efficiency. From the simulation, the IC method shows better performance and also has a lower oscillation.
