<p>This paper introduces a procedure for the modelling of a Photo<em>ــ</em>Voltaic (PV) cell and the application of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in step-by-step with MATLAB/Simulink. The model of one diode is used to explore the characteristics of I<em>ــ</em>V and P<em>ــ</em>V curves of 60W PV module. Due to the non-linear and time varying of PV characteristics, the generated power of the PV is continually varying with atmospheric conditions like temperature and irradiation, the MPPT technology is very important to chase maximum power point (MPP) on the P<em>ــ</em>V curve to obtain maximum output power from PV array. This study focuses on two common types algorithms of MPPT, namely perturb and observe (P&amp;O) and incremental conductance (INC). A DC--DC boost converter is implemented to regulate the voltage output from the PV array's and for the application of MPPT algorithm.</p>

This work proposes a lookup table based approach to track the maximum power from a solar photovoltaic (PV) module. The performance of the solar PV module is greatly influenced by various environmental factors and it is therefore necessary to operate the PV module at its optimal point so as to ensure that maximum power is extracted from the PV source. Several fixed step and variable step maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms have been proposed in the literature. In this paper a simple and fast maximum power tracking method based on lookup table approach is proposed. The maximum power point voltages for various insolation levels are obtained from the experimental setup and are fed to the look up table. This look up table thus formulated can then provide the reference voltage for various insolation conditions without many computations. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the conventional MPPT methods like perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (INC) and Fuzzy logic (FLC) based MPPT. The simulation results show that the lookup table (LUT) approach tracks the maximum power point faster than the conventional algorithms under changing illumination conditions and reduces simulation time.

This paper presents the experimental results and discusses the track of the maximum power point on the current-voltage curve of a PV module due to changes of the illumination level and temperature. A time decrease of the voltage and simultaneous temperature increase during the initial stage of irradiation has been observed. Some practical implementation aspects of a maximum power point tracking unit, which match the current and voltage characteristics of the load to the PV module’s maximum power point automatically, are also discussed. A linear decrease of the maximum output power Pm with temperature increase has been observed and the temperature coefficient was derivate. Temperature coefficients for Voc, Isc, Vmpp, Impp, and ηPV have been determined for the photovoltaic module. Also the radiation-rate coefficient at constant temperature has been calculated.

The output characteristics of photovoltaic (PV) cells are usually nonlinear, influenced by solar irradiation, environmental temperature and load characteristics. The maximum output power of PV cells changes with external environment. In order to improve the system efficiency and make PV cells work near the maximum power point (MPP), it is necessary to adjust the operating point. A variety of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods have been proposed. This paper compares these methods and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of them. Finally, the key problems and development prospects of MPPT technology are analyzed.


The Impedance Source based DC to AC or DC (Z-source DAD) converter converts the given DC voltage to AC or DC. In a solar photovoltaic (SPV) system, the solar panel output voltage is DC voltage, and this voltage will be converted to AC or DC by Z-source DAD converter. To get maximum output power from the panel, a modified perturb and observe (P&O) maximum power point technique (MPPT) is implemented with a Z-source DAD converter. This single-stage MPPT integrated Z-source DAD converter eliminates the conventional multi-stage SPV system, and also, the output voltage of this SPV system is either AC or DC voltage. The simulations are performed with MATLAB-Simulink software, and the hardware circuit is constructed with a microcontroller-based SPV system. The MATLAB-Simulink simulation and hardware output shows the ability of the modified P&O algorithm based MPPT integrated Z-source DAD converter.
