Photovoltaic Power Control Using MPPT and Boost Converter

—The studies on the photovoltaic system are extensively increasing because of a large, secure, essentially exhaustible and broadly available resource as a future energy supply. However, the output power induced in the photovoltaic modules is influenced by an intensity of solar cell radiation, temperature of the solar cells. Therefore, to maximize the efficiency of the renewable energy system, it is necessary to track the maximum power point of the input source. In this paper, a new maximum power point tracker (MPPT) using Perturb & Observe algorithm is proposed to improve energy conversion efficiency. Maximum power point tracking is an important function in all photovoltaic (PV) power systems. The simulation results show that the proposed MPPT control can avoid tracking deviation and result in improved performance in both dynamic response and steady-state
