Solar Energy Conversion System with Maximum Power Point Tracking

Abstract

Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm that help to track the maximum power point of the solar PV module automatically. Perturb and observe algorithm is most popular algorithm. In this algorithm a slight perturbation is introduced. Due to this perturbation, the power of the module changes. If the power increases due to perturbation then the perturbation is continued in that direction. After the peak power is reached the power at the next instant decreases and hence after that the perturbation reverses. The simulation results for conventional three and five voltage source converter (VSC) along with the proposed cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter (CHBMLC) topology based wind energy conversion systems, i.e., Three phase Seven Level and Three phase Three Level has been obtained through MATLAB simulation software, a widely used power system transient analysis tool.
