IMPLEMENTATION OF INCREMENTAL CONDUCTANCE (MPPT) TECHNIQUE FOR PV SYSTEM

This project investigates in detail the concept of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which significantly increases the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic system. The project proposes a simple MPPT algorithm is called Incremental conductance Method. This method computes the maximum power and controls directly the extracted power from the PV. The proposed method offers different advantages which are: good tracking efficiency, response is high and well control for the extracted power. The resultant system is capable of tracking MPPs accurately and rapidly without steady-state oscillation, and also, its dynamic performance is satisfactory. First the photovoltaic module is analyzed using SIMULINK software. The main aim will be to track the maximum power point of the photovoltaic module so that the maximum possible power can be extracted from the photovoltaic. For the main aim of the project Maximum Power Point Tracking control mechanism is used. Modeling the converter and the solar cell in Simulink and interfacing both with the MPPT algorithm to obtain the maximum power point operation would be of prime importance A MPPT plays a very vital role for extracting the maximum power from the solar PV module and transferring that power to the load. Modeling the converter and the solar cell in Simulink and interfacing both with the MPPT algorithm to obtain the maximum power point operation would be of prime importance.
