Comparative Study for Different Types of MPPT Algorithms Using Direct Control Method
Abstract
Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers achieve higher importance due to the high expansion rate of photovoltaic systems. The probability of partial shading conditions (PSCs) is also increased which drastically reduced the maximum power extraction capability from PV systems. In this paper, different types of MPPT algorithms using direct control method have been examined under the same test conditions. The current research trend on MPPT controllers has also been highlighted. This paper gives a brief description to engineers and practitioners working in the area of MPPT controllers.
