Analysis of PV module with buck-boost and zeta converters with incremental conductance maximum power point tracking method

This paper represents the mathematical modelling of the photovoltaic module. Current and Power with voltage characteristics shows that the relationship is not linear. It is integrated with Buck-Boost and Zeta converters considering environmental temperature and irradiance variations. In the finding of maximum power point, the incremental conductance algorithm is a very popular method which can track rapidly changing maximum power point. The quality of output voltage depends on which type of converter used. Output voltage ripples are shallow in Zeta converter comparing to the Buck — boost converter. Simulation is performed on MATLAB/Simulink.
