Abstract


Any photovoltaic solar generator (PVSG) can be effectively utilized if it operates at its optimal operating point. Accordingly, many tracking algorithms for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) modules had been developed. In the literature, the Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method and the Incremental Conductance (IC) method are the most widely used. Each of them has its unique advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, a maximum power point tracking algorithm method based on the analysis of the mathematical relationship among the maximum power points and the corresponding currents at different operating conditions, is presented. Several simulation results are provided to highlight the performance, effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of the presented method compared to the conventional P&O and IC methods. Besides, a solar powered water pumping system is presented and discussed as an application of the different given MPPT techniques.
