In this paper, a novel incremental conductance (INC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method based on extension theory is developed to make full use of photovoltaic (PV) array output power. The proposed method can adjust the step size to track the PV array’s maximum power point (MPP) automatically. Compared with the conventional fixed step size INC method, the presented approach is able to effectively improve the dynamic response and steady state performance of a PV system simultaneously. A theoretical analysis and the design principle of the proposed method are described in detail. Some simulation results are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed MPPT method.

The extensive usage of solar has extended the opportunity of research to increase the efficiency of PV module. Maximum Power Point Tracking technique plays an important role. In P & O and Incremental conductance the power produced is less. In this paper a Fuzzy based P & O and Fuzzy based Incremental Conductance MPPT techniques are presented to extract the maximum power from the photovoltaic system by considering the dynamic variation in irradiations and temperature also. Here the 100 kW PV array is considered and it is connected to the utility grid via a DC-DC boost converter of 500volts with a 3 phase three level voltage source converter. The result is obtained by the MAT LAB Simulink and the same is appraised with the traditional P & O and Incremental conductance. The PV System produces the maximum power by the application of Fuzzy based incremental Technique compared to conventional methods.

To utilize maximum solar energy, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is much important for PV system. The paper presents a new MPPT method based on adaptive predictive algorithm which is superior to traditional Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method. PV output power is predicted to improve the tracking speed and deduce the possibility of misjudgment of increasing or decreasing the PV output voltage. Because PV output power can be obtained directly, close loop can be established so as to achieve a precise prediction. Simulations and experiments prove that proposed MPPT control can track the maximum power point rapidly, and the system can operate steadily with this MPPT method.

In the several last years, numerous Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods for photovoltaic (PV) systems have been proposed. An MPPT strategy is necessary to ensure the maximum power efficiency provided to the load from a PV module that is subject to external environmental perturbations such as radiance, temperature and partial shading. In this paper, a new MPPT technique is presented. Our approach has the novelty that it is a MPPT algorithm with a dynamic hysteresis model incorporated. One of the most cited Maximum Power Point Tracking methods is the Perturb and Observer algorithm since it is easily implemented. A comparison between the approach presented in this paper and the known Perturb and Observer method is evaluated. Moreover, a new PV-system platform was properly designed by employing low cost electronics, which may serve as an academical platform for further research and developments. This platform is used to show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the standard Perturb and Observer method.

Three main factors which affect the efficiency of any Photovoltaic system are, the efficiency of the Photovoltaic pane used, efficiency of the inverter used and efficiency of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm used. MPPT techniques are widely used in the Photovoltaic (PV) system to extract the maximum power from the Photovoltaic system. MPPT aims that in any environmental conditions i.e for any irradiation or temperature, maximum possible energy is extracted from PV systems. In this paper, Perturb & Observe (P&O), Incremental conductance techniques of MPPT are implemented and analyzed. On the basis of the output voltage, power, current, duty cycle and efficiency of the boost converter, comparison of these techniques has been done. To extract the maximum power from the Photovoltaic system, Inverted-V Method has been developed and compared with Perturb & Observe, Incremental conductance method with the help of MATLAB Simulink software. In this paper, it has been concluded that Inverted V methods has more efficiency and performs better as compared to the other two methods. This paper could be beneficial as a quick reference for MPPT users and future research application for PV system.

Mismatching effects due to partial shaded conditions are the major drawbacks existing in today’s photovoltaic (PV) systems. These mismatch effects are greatly reduced in distributed PV system architecture where each panel is effectively decoupled from its neighboring panel. To obtain the optimal operation of the PV panels, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are used. In partial shaded conditions, detecting the maximum operating point is difficult as the characteristic curves are complex with multiple peaks. In this paper, a neural network control technique is employed for MPPT. Detailed analyses were carried out on MPPT controllers in centralized and distributed architecture under partial shaded environments. The efficiency of the MPPT controllers and the effectiveness of the proposed control technique under partial shaded environments was examined using MATLAB software. The results were validated through experimentation.
