Study of P&O And INC PV MPPT Techniques For Different Environment Conditions

There are different maximum power point tracking techniques present in the literature, they vary according to the number of sensors required, speed of convergence, cost, effectiveness of techniques, easy hardware implementation and in other respects. In this paper comparison of two well-known conventional maximum power point tracking techniques, “perturb and observe” and “incremental conductance” is done for different environment condition. A DC-DC boost converter is also used for interfacing the load and photovoltaic module. Result is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and all the condition is kept same for both techniques in simulation for the best outcomes of this comparative study.
