Application of Various Classical and Intelligent MPPT Tracking Techniques for the Production of Energy through a Photovoltaic System

Abstract

This work is an attempt to study and discuss six types of MPPT techniques. Techniques allowing to extract the maximum power from the PV source is the aim task of the maximum power point tracking algorithms called MPPT. In this paper most popular MPPT commands are studied and reviewed: Perturb and observe, Increment of the conductance, Open Circuit Voltage(OCV), Short Circuit Current (SCC), control based on fuzzy logic ‘LF’ and Artificial Neural Network ANN. Matlab Simulink environment is used to model the MPPT system, to analyze and interpret their simulation results, and therefore show their good behavior.
