THE DESIGN OF STANDALONE PV SYSTEM USING P&O ALGORITHM FOR MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING

Abstract

This paper presents the simulation of output power control of photovoltaic panel using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller of boost converter. Due to the stochastic behavior of temperature and irradiation condition, integrating a MPPT algorithm to DC-DC converter is important for extracting the maximum power from photovoltaic system. The Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm has been preferred due to its lower complexity and easy implementation. The main aim of this study is to track the maximum operation point of photovoltaic system and to control the output power with respect to the changing irradiation and temperature. The simulation results demonstrate that MPPT controller prevents the power deviation and provide to extract maximum possible power from solar array.
