Photovoltaic Maximum Power Point Tracking System Based on Bidirectional Cuk Converter

Xiaohe Liu, Ju Rong, Yuanyuan Rong

Abstract

The output of photovoltaic (PV) array is influenced by the environmental factors such as irradiation and temperature, if we can make sure that the photovoltaic array operates at the maximum power point, solar energy can get a high utilization rate. This paper introduces a variety of common photovoltaic maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods, discusses one using of a bidirectional Cuk converter method for MPPT of photovoltaic cells, through the simulation of photovoltaic system based on the Matlab/Simulink platform, the results verify the feasibility of this method.
