چکیده
This paper presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm of a PV system under real climatic conditions. The proposed MPPT is based on the perturbation and observation (P&O) strategy that control the load voltage to ensure optimal operating point of a PV system. The proposed MPPT algorithm has been implemented by a dSPACE DSP controller. The experimental results show that the PV power system, using the proposed MPPT algorithm, is able to accurately track maximum power points under variable irradiance and load variations. Keywords—photovoltaic system; P&O approach; MPPT controller; DC-DC converter, a dSPACE DSP controller.
