A COMPARITIVE STUDY OF P&O AND INCREMENTALCONDUCTANCE ALGORITHM

The trend and need of shifting towards renewable energy sources for electricity generation, has attracted researchers towards photovoltaic (PV) systems for last fewdecades. Since PV generator has nonlinear behavior, and its output power is a function of solar irradiance and ambient temperature, therefore need of developing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques remains the interest. This book mainly displays a similar investigation of two MPPT strategies i.e., Perturb and Observe and Incremental Conductance Method (ICM), in light of the fact that these calculations are broadly utilized because of minimal effort and simplicity of acknowledgment by utilizing MATLAB/SIMULINK, which is also used for performance evaluation. Some important parameters such as voltage, current and power output for each different combination has been traced for both the algorithms.
