Switch

MODES OF OPERATION Charging Mode: The switch is closed and the inductor is charged by the source through the switch. The charging current is exponential in nature but for simplicity is assumed to be linearly varying. The diode restricts the flow of current from the source to the load and the demand of the load is met by the discharging of the capacitor. Discharging Mode: The switch is open and the diode is forward biased . The inductor now discharges and together with the source charges the capacitor and meets the load demands.

MPPT The efficiency of solar energy is very low. Thus we need some

techniques to extract the maximum power from these arrays, to

ensure that power converter circuits operate at the maximum

power point of the solar array.

The basic principle of MPPT is to extract the maximum available

power from PV module by making them operate at most efficient

voltage(MPP).

The main objective of all these MPPT algorithms is to achieve

fast and accurate tracking performance and minimize oscillations

due to varying weather conditions.

METHODS OF MPPTA lot of MPPT algorithms have been developed by researchers all over the world. They are:

perturbation and observation method incremental conductance method Hill climbing method.

P&O method is the most frequently used algorithm to track the maximum power because of its simple structure and fewer required parameters.
