Design and implementation of photovoltaic maximum power point tracking controller

Abstract EN

The power supplied by any solar array depends upon the environmental conditions as weather conditions (temperature and radiation intensity) and the incident angle of the radiant source.

The work aims to study the maximum power tracking schemes that used to compare the system performance without and with different types of controllers.

The maximum power points of the solar panel under test studied and compared with two controller's types.

The first controller is the proportional- integral - derivative controller type and the second is the perturbation and observation algorithm controller.

The associated converter system is a microcontroller based type, whereas the results studied and compared of greatest power point of the Photovoltaic panels under the different two controllers.

The experimental tests results compared with simulation results to verify accurate performance.
