Comparison of INC and P&O Algorithms in Maximum Power Point Tracking Control of Independently PV System

Abstract

    Solar energy is clean and free of cost and does not pollute the environment. The research of solar energy systems plays a very important role that contributes to fully exploit the natural energy resources while traditional energy sources become scare. Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) control for Solar panels considered as an indispensable part of the solar power system is applied in order to improve the efficiency of solar panels. This paper described and compaired Perturb and Observer (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (INC) algorithms that were used to implement for Maximum Power Point control of Solar panels. Simulation results showed that INC algorithm had a better effect than P&O algorithm did.
