Abstract

This paper presents a design strategy for photovoltaic (PV) power tracking control, based on the hill-climbing method. The study establishes guidelines to determine the variables of the hill-climbing algorithms, the time interval between and the magnitudes of the disturbances. This is effective to improve the efficiency of MPPT in rapid radiation changes. The controller design performance is demonstrated by simulation.
