Novel maximum power point tracking with classical cascaded voltage and current loops for photovoltaic systems

Almost all of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods for photovoltaic (PV) systems are based on searching algorithms. Searching algorithms require relatively complex control schemes and reduce the speed and accuracy of the MPPT method. This paper proposes a novel MPPT method which aims to c...

More Information
Summary:Almost all of the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) methods for photovoltaic (PV) systems are based on searching algorithms. Searching algorithms require relatively complex control schemes and reduce the speed and accuracy of the MPPT method. This paper proposes a novel MPPT method which aims to circumvent traditional searching algorithms thus increasing the speed and accuracy of the response to varying irradiation levels. The method will be validated through MATLAB-SIMULINK simulations. (5 pages)
