摘要
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques are employed in photovoltaic (PV) systems to maximize the PV array output power which depends on solar irradiance and temperature. Among all the MPPT strategies, The P&O Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm is mostly used, due to its ease of implementation. On the other hand, its main drawbacks are the waste of energy in steady state conditions, when the working point moves across the MPP and the poor dynamic performances exhibited when a step change in solar irradiance or in temperature occurs. In this paper, a modified variable step size P&O MPPT algorithm is proposed, the step size is automatically tuned according to the operating point. Compared with the conventional fixed step size method, the proposed approach can effectively improve the MPPT speed and efficiency simultaneously. A theoretical analysis and the design principle of the proposed algorithm are provided and its feasibility is also verified by simulation results.
