INTRODUCTION
Because

of global environmental concerns and increasing energy demands, more attention is being concentrated on the renewable energy technologies. to the traditional energy resources, the PV system, which converts sunlight into electric power, releases no pollutants for environmental concern. types of sources supply dc power while the present power grid accepts 60Hz ac power

Control principle of MPPT


a

cost-effective MPPT method integrated within the OCC controller.

It features the following advantages: i) A single power stage: MPPT and dc-to-ac power conversion can be achieved within a single power stage.
ii)

Simple control circuit: only the PV output voltage is sensed and used to achieve MPPT. Good MPPT capability with acceptable precision: well tracks the real MPP.

iii)

Control principle of MPPT


For a generic PV array that is comprised of M modules in parallel and N cells in series in each module, the output power is:

Where, ILG -- light-generated current of each module;


Ios

-- reverse saturation current of each module; q -- Electronic charge; Rgs -- series resistance;
A

-- Ideality factor; K -- Boltzmanns constant;
