Increasing the efficiency of MPPT techniques is the essential aspects of the Solar Photovoltaic System. This efficiency is affected by the chattering available with the MPPT techniques. An MPP technique which generates less chattering in the system is more efficient than the others. This paper presents the chattering analysis of the popular Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques Perturb & Observe (P&O) and Incremental conductance method for the fixed and variable step size. The algorithms are simulated under similar load and environment conditions. In the result it is found that the incremental conductance method has very less chattering in comparison with the P&O for the fixed step size and variable step size. Further, for the different solar radiation chattering is observed and tabulated

In this paper, a variable step size P&O algorithm is used in order to improve the performance of a photovoltaic system in both dynamic and static plans. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been investigated successfully using the BP SX150S solar module connected to the DC-DC derived by a P&O MPPT algorithm. The comparative study results of both conventional fixed step size and the proposed variable step size P&O algorithms prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to the standard fixed step size PO MPPT. The proposed algorithm reduces response time between 13.86% and 45.28% and the steady state oscillation between 83.33% and 100% leading to less power loss especially in case of fast changing atmospheric conditions.  This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

The optimization of energy in a photovoltaic conversion chain remains a topic of study. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is considered the most appropriate solution to ensure the extraction of the maximum power which a photovoltaic generator can provide. Perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm is the well-known MPPT tracker; it shows an important and decisive role in the development of photovoltaic (PV) systems. In This article we introduce a new improved adjustable step size P&O (imVS_PO) MPPT method.The performances of the new algorithm are compared to the conventional P&O MPPT techniques and to the existing adjustable step size P&O (VS_PO) MPPT algorithm. The results clearly show the efficiency of the improved algorithm which contributed to the increase of the tracking speed with negligible fluctuations when the MPP is reached, and especially in rapid variation of insolation.

Aiming at the problem of low voltage gain of traditional boost converter and the incompatibility of tracking speed and tracking accuracy with the traditional incremental conductance algorithm (INC), this paper uses the hybrid boost converter as the DC/DC converter of photovoltaic system, and designs the variable step size INC algorithm control strategy to achieve Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic. Simulink simulation model verifies the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, which effectively improves the output voltage and power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system.
