| description | Photovoltaic (PV) has become one of the most important renewable energy sources today. Getting the maximum power
from these systems in changing environmental conditions is an important research subject. Maximum power point
trackers (MPPT) are used to get the highest efficiency from PV arrays under current irradiance and temperature
conditions. Additional hardware such as sensors, partial shading, and complex algorithms are factors affecting
MPPT performance. The MPPT method proposed in this study does not require any additional hardware, has a simple
algorithm, is easy to implement and can extract maximum power from the PV array even under partial shading
conditions. In the proposed method, firstly, the electrical characteristic of the PV array is obtained by
emulating the dc-dc converter as a load. The maximum power point of the array was found using the current
and voltage data during this process. Subsequently, the PV array was operated at this point and the maximum
power was harvested. The proposed method was validated on the Matlab-Simulink environment by simulating various
irradiance values. |
