Review of the modern techniques of Maximum Power Point Tracking for the solar photovoltaic systems

摘要

The energy generation of a solar photovoltaic (SPV) system is directly dependent on solar radiation intensity and its availability. The energy generation from the PV module is also affected due to climatic parameters such as ambient temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind and dust. To extract the maximum power from PV array Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is applied. At varying operating conditions, MPPT algorithms automatically detect the maximum power and supply to the load. In the present paper ten different MPPT techniques have been identified and analyzed. These different techniques have been well developed in the papers individually. In the present study a comprehensive review of popular MPPT techniques is presented.
