Implementation of P&O MPPT Control for Standalone PV System and Its Efficiency Analysis

Abstract

MPPT Control is significantly affected by the switching frequency which is mainly controlled by the PWM for the DC/DC converter. In this paper, the P&O MPPT control is directly implemented using MATLAB/Simulink tool with Simscape library. For understanding the relationship between the efficiency and switching frequency, this paper also gives a simple test case for verification of its useable.
