Comparative Analysis of Perturb & Observe, Incremental Conductance and Fuzzy Logic Based Maximum Power Point Tracking Methods

This study evaluates the three most used Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) approaches, namely Perturb & Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (Inc.Cond.), and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC). In MATLAB/Simulink, a 10.5 kW Photovoltaic system with a boost converter feeding resistive load has been modelled. Response Time, Tracking Accuracy, and Voltage Ripple are some of the performance metrics that have been explored. A comparative examination of three MPPTs has been conducted.
