Solar power being a renewable energy resource has tremendous potential of usage in the imminent future and this paper is going to discuss an effective strategy to maximize solar energy harvest. This study has been done using MATLAB/Simulink combining solar modules, incremental conductance MPPT algorithm block and boost converter control block. Though solar energy harvest is dependent of irradiance, temperature and other climatic conditions it is imperative that a photovoltaic system operates at a maximum power point (MPP) in order to extract maximum energy from the system. The incremental conductance algorithm is an energy optimization strategy that provides fast dynamic response and well regulated photovoltaic (PV) output voltages. In addition, the number of parameter needed to be monitored are significantly lower than other algorithms, making the implementation much more streamlined and cost effective. This paper is going to discuss the observations of maximum power point tracking...

Journal of Renewable Energies

This study discusses the design of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique for photovoltaic (PV) systems employing a modified incremental conductance (IncCond) algorithm to extract maximum power from a PV module. A PV module, a DC-DC converter, and a resistive load constitute the PV system. In the scientific literature, it is well-documented that typical MPPT algorithms have significant drawbacks, such as fluctuations around the MPP and poor tracking during a sudden change in atmospheric conditions. To solve the deficiencies of conventional methodology, a novel modified IncCond method is proposed in this study. The simulation results demonstrate that the updated IncCond algorithm presented allows for less oscillation around the maximum power point (MPP), a rapid dynamic response, and superior performance.

Solar panels have a nonlinear voltagecurrent characteristic, with a distinct maximum power point (MPP), which depends on the environmental factors, such as temperature and irradiation. In order to continuously harvest maximum power from the solar panels, they have to operate at their MPP despite the inevitable changes in the environment. This is why the controllers of all solar power electronic converters employ some method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Over the past decades many MPPT techniques have been published. In this thesis two MPPT Methods i.e. Incremental Conductance and Modified InCond methods are studied and compared.

Simulation and comparison of perturb and observe and incremental conductance MPPT algorithms for solar energy system connected to grid
Sachin Rajani

Solar energy is a clean, green and renewable source of energy. It is available in abundance in nature. Solar cells by photovoltaic action are able to convert the solar energy into electric current. The output power of solar cell depends upon factors such as solar irradiation (insolation), temperature and other climatic conditions. Present commercial efficiency of solar cells is not greater than 15% and therefore the available efficiency is to be exploited to the maximum possible value and the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with the aid of power electronics to solar array can make this possible. There are many algorithms proposed to realize maximum power point tracking. These algorithms have their own merits and limitations. In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the basic functionality of the two most popular algorithms viz. Perturb and Observe (P & O) algorithm and Incremental conductance algorithm. These algorithms are compared by simulating a 100 kW solar power generating station connected to grid. MATLAB M-files are generated to understand MPPT and its dependency on insolation and temperature. MATLAB Simulink software is used to simulate the MPPT systems. Simulation results are presented to verify these assumptions.

This method verified with the dynamic irradiance and sudden change of irradiance, the comparisons with conventional methods, for example, the perturbation and observation (P&O) and Modified perturbation and observation (Modified P&O) were performed. A photovoltaic (PV) panel was simulated and tested using MATLAB/Simulink based on PV panel at Power Electronics Laboratory. The results show that this method capable to find the maximum power point (MPP) under dynamic behavior faster than (P&O) and Modified P&O). Reduced oscillation of MPP indicates enhanced efficiency, providing maximum power transfer to load.

In this study, the maximum power point is tracked precisely and quickly using an MPPT technique based on incremental conductance (INC). Based on the PV voltage and current, the Incremental Conductance (INC) technique searches for the precise MPP. PV-based power generation systems use the MPPT algorithm and two separate DC-DC converters to increase the output voltage. Using the MATLAB simulink system, the proposed algorithm's operation is simulated. At the conclusion of this work, conclusions were reached after comparing the algorithm's performance when using Boost Converter and SEPIC Converter.

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is used in photovoltaic systems to extract the maximum power. The most popular MPPT technique is the incremental conductance because it is less complicated and has a good tracking accuracy. This work is an attempt to study and discuss four types of the incremental conductance method, namely: Incremental Conductance with fixed step size (FS_IC), Incremental Conductance with variable step size (VS_IC), Incremental Conductance with first proposition of modified variable step size (MVS1_IC) and Incremental Conductance with second proposition of modified variable step size (MVS2_IC), these four techniques are simulated by Psim software. Results show the good tracking efficiency of the MVS1_IC and MVS2_IC techniques compared to FS_IC and VS_IC, also the MVS2_IC MPPT algorithm is the most efficient and presented less energy loss.

Analysis of Variable Step Incremental Conductance MPPT Technique for PV System
IOSR Journals

Now a days the tracking of maximum power point techniques are mostly used for photovoltaic (PV) array systems, to track the peak power output which is greatly depends on environmental condition (mainly irradiance & temperature) and load variation. There are many MPPT methods have been proposed. Among all, the incremental conductance (IC) method is largely used, because this method is less complicated and having good tracking accuracy. But in IC method the tracking speed is less. So this paper represents a variable step incremental conductance (VSIC) method. This paper improves both tracking speed as well as tracking accuracy with wide range of operating conditions. The paper also provides the detail analysis and simulation results for the proposed VSIC method under different environmental conditions. The variation in the output characteristics with the proposed MPPT and without MPPT are shown in the paper. Keywords : photovoltaic (PV); maximum power point tracking (MPPT); variable step incremental conductance (VSIC).

Distributed Generation source have wide application due to their phenomenal advantages. These sources include Photovoltaic (PV) cells producing DC voltage at their output that connects the network through a power electronic interface. PV characteristics, on the other hand, illustrate the fact that maximum power can be extracted at the optimal operating point depending upon the solar radiation and ambient temperature. In order to keep the PV module at its optimal operating point, a DC-DC converter is often used between a PV module and inverter. Consequently, Maximum power point trackers (MPPT) grab the foremost position in the efficiency analysis of the global PV system. Among the several MPPT algorithms, Incremental Conduction technique isemphasised upon as it is extremely simple in implementation within electronic programmable circuits. This paper incorporates the MPPT model using a PV module that always works in its optimal operating point. Design and experimental results of a s...
