Maximum Power Point Tracking
• Used to extract maximum energy from variable power sources.
• Especially used in photovoltaic cells.
Different techniques of MPPT
➢ Perturb and Observe (P&O)
➢ Incremental Conductance
➢ Fuzzy Logic

➢ For buck converter 𝜃 of I-V load curve is given by 𝑡𝑎𝑛 (𝑅 ). As D varies from 0 to 1, 𝜃 Varies
𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑
from 0 to 𝜃𝑚𝑎𝑥 where 𝜃𝑚𝑎𝑥 is less than 90.
➢ For boost converter 𝜃 of I-V load curve is given by
1
𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 (𝑅 2 ). As D varies from 0 to 1, 𝜃
𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 ∗(1−𝐷)
Varies from 𝜃𝑚𝑖𝑛 to 90 where 𝜃𝑚𝑖𝑛 is greater than 0.

➢ For buck-boost converter 𝜃 of I-V load curve is

𝐷2
given by 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 ( ). As D varies from
𝑅𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑑 ∗(1−𝐷)2
0 to 1, 𝜃 Varies from 0 to 90. Therefore, it can
track MPP accurately for any irradiance and
temperature conditions.
 In this project, we implement Maximum Power
Point Tracking for a Photovoltaic system using a
DC-DC boost converter.
The system used can generate maximum of 100 kW at irradiance of
1000 W.m-2 and temperature of 25° .
