Abstract:

The use of optimal maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods is essential for producing effective photovoltaic (PV) systems. Two MPPT parameters, i.e., perturbation amplitude and perturbation time, affect how effective MPPT algorithms are. The tracking speed and steady-state oscillation are both impacted by MPPT algorithm improvement. The optimization techniques for MPPT parameters are examined and divided into fixed and variable techniques in this article. During MPPT performance, the set MPPT parameters remain constant, and tracking speed and steady-state oscillation should be traded off. To enhance the steady state oscillations and tracking speed, the variable MPPT settings will be altered. To assess the actual contributions of the optimization techniques to the MPPT efficiency, some of them are also simulated, compared, and discussed. Investigations are also conducted into key aspects of the optimization techniques, such as noise immunity, stability, and computational effort.
