Using Photovoltaic systems is gradually expanded by increasing energy demand. Abundance and availability of this energy, has turned to one of the most important sources of renewable energy. Unfortunately, photovoltaic systems have two big problems: first, those have very low energy conversion efficiency (in act between 12 and 42 percent under certain circumstances). Second, the power produced b...

Variable characteristics of turbine for different wind speeds have different operating point. Maximum power thus can’t be assured at all points of operation. But MPPT algorithm pushes the electronic dc-dc convertor to provide higher power output by adjusting duty cycle of buck/boost convertor connected before load. MATLAB simulations have been investigated and results show a higher power output...
