What is MPPT and why it is needed? (Maximum power point tracking) It is needed a controller (MPPT) to achieve the highest efficiency and provide a stable power under the intermittent weather condition • Why IC technique ? It shows good performance under the intermittent of solar irradiance The simulation result will show how good is the performance of this IC technique.
PV Model • A solar cell basically is a p-n semiconductor junction. When exposed to light, a dc current is generated.
IC MPPT Technique • The incremental conductance method is developed under the fact of slope of the PV array power curve is zero at the MPP IC MPPT Algorithm
Simulation under constant solar irradiance • The maximum standard operating for constant solar irradiance is assumed to be 1000 W/m2 in the study. (A) The measured output of PV Module (B) The respond of IC MPPT tracking algorithm
