Abstract

The increasing demand for electricity and depleting fossil fuels made the solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems to be a better alternative for the future power requirements. Nowadays solar energy has great importance. Because it is easily available resource for energy generation. The fact that the output of the PV system is dependent upon the solar irradiance and temperature. In order to get maximum power from the solar panels the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controllers can play an important role in photovoltaic systems, they have to operate at their maximum power point (MPP) despite the changes in the environment conditions. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which significantly increases the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic System. There are different MPPT control methods used for solar PV systems, Incremental conductance(IC), Perturb and observe(P&O), Constant Current method, Constant Voltage method, Fuzzy Control, and Neural Network Control. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of incremental conductance MPPT algorithm for pv array using boost converter. The simulation has been accomplished using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
