Abstract:
The MPP (Maximum Power Point) of a photovoltaic system is not constant because it relies on the ambient temperature, solar radiation and load impedance. PV modules have a point at which they can reach their MPP under any conditions. A maximum power point tracking technique is needed to keep the PV panel operating at its MPP. In this study, the PSO method is compared to the conventional MPPT techniques (P&O, IC) utilized in PV systems. Using the MATLAB/Simulink software, the suggested PSO MPPT technique has been implemented on a DC-DC Boost converter and compared to the P&O and INC techniques in terms efficiency. The outcome of the simulation demonstrates that the suggested technique is straightforward and superior to the P&O and INC techniques.
