E. Perturb and Observe Algorithm
The Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm is often used
in searching for Maximum Power Point (MPP) in PV and
wind turbines. This method can be used for various types of
characteristics of PV [3] and does not require information
about the characteristics of wind turbine systems. [6]
However, the P&O method has the disadvantage that there
is an oscillation in steady state conditions caused by
constant duty cycle changes.
