Abstract

This paper proposes a mathematical modeling and simulation of photovoltaic array and MPPT algorithm with Boost converter. The photovoltaic array and MPPT algorithm with Boost converter can be simulated with MATLAB Simulator. The mathematical modeling of PV array model gives different PV cell behavior under variant environmental conditions. It is seen that the output characteristics of q PV array changes due to environmental factors. So the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is needed to catch the peak power to maximize the produced energy. In this paper, Perturbation &Observation algorithm is used. This algorithm sets the suitable duty ratio in which the DC/DC converter is operated to MPP. This paper outlines the working of PV array as well as MPPT algorithm.
