Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques in Solar Power Generation Systems

L. J. Kennedy, M. Kooti, M. Sertkol

Abstract


Distributed Generation (DG) which leads to the improvement of rooftop PV system is an incomplete part in the research. The maximum power of a photovoltaic generators varies with solar insolation and temperature and it has two main characteristics namely nonlinear I-V and P-V. To extract the maximum power from PV arrays it requires Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques. This paper consists of various MPPT algorithms and their pros and cons of it.


Keywords
