Abstract :
In a photovoltaic module, there is a single
operating point at which maximum output can be drawn
from the module. This point at which maximum power
can be obtained is known as “Maximum Power Point
(MPP)”. There is need to find the MPP and ensure that
the point of operation is close to and around this point.
The process of finding the MPP and always trying to keep
the PV panel operating point at MPP is called “Maximum
Power Point Tracking (MPPT)”.The objective of the
current paper is to model the PV cell and present the
modeling of four different control techniques using
MATLAB. The four control techniques are Perturb and
Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (IC), Fuzzy
Logic Control (FLC), and Model Predictive Control
(MPC) algorithms. These algorithms are used to track the
MPP of the PV module. All the control algorithms
function together with a DC-DC converter, in this paper,
a BOOST converter is used to perform all the simulations
and maximum power point tracking. The P-V and I-V
characteristics are drawn with the cell temperature kept
constant. This paper also presents the study of the four
control techniques and their performance analysis. The
outcomes of these four techniques are compared, and
relevant conclusions are drawn.
